You have a much earlier version of Particular on your system.

You might try making the All Masks layer 3D and see what happens. I don't remember if that may have been a problem in a previous version of the plugin.

OK thank you for clarifying that. I'll see for an updated version.

 

Kind regards.

I cannot replicate your problem. Have you tried selecting both the mask layer and the Particular layer, then pressing the 'u' key twice to check and try resetting some of the modified properties? That's the first thing I would do.

There's nothing which I have tampered with the scale. If you like, I have uploaded a ZIP file with the paths, AI file. All Included.
