Corners in a scatter/pattern brush

Question

Hi,Trying to create a brush in illustrator to achieve a string of objects. (See picture below) But the corners keep flipping around or mirroring is weird ways. How do i do this? I want to be able to draw squares in different dimensions without manually repositioning the crowns. Thanks!

Scatter brushes might be difficult to control for this. You could try pattern brushes with custom designed corners, but set them to adjust gaps instead of distorting. Pattern brushes will only work well with squares.

You could also try blends instead of brushes.

Scatter and Pattern Brushes are very different, in latter case you could create specifically designed corners.

Could you post screenshots of the problems you complain about with the pertinent Panels visible?

In any case I think you should be able to get your intended result by using a scatter brush on four distinct lines instead of one rectangle.
