Paint stroke settings

I am doing a tutorial that requires me to make a couple of brushes. Problem is there is no instruction on actually using the brush and getting the settings right. This brush should be applied to strokes and scattered along the strokes. I can't figure out how to set it for this. Here is a screenshoto of the setting pane. Hope you can help since the author left that out.

Correct answer Monika Gause

Thanks for that correction, Monika. I didn't notice the outline view.

Since each bud was placed one at a time, why make it into a brush when it could simply be duplicated?

I assume that when you look really close, they are slightly bent. And when there are plenty, they are easier to create with the brush.

... and once you open the scatter brush settings, set everything to random and then set up Min and Max values.

Thank you, Monika,

I see where I missed that choice in the tut now. I have everything set to random but have clue how to set the other values. I will look for an Illustrator help page for that. Thank you!

Since you made a change to the brush, the message is asking if you want that change to be applied to all instances of the brush.

Yes there were 2 brushes made the stem brush and the little green bud. But I am so tired trying to get the buds to scatter correctly, I am about to just add them manually! Thanks.

The brush is defined as an Artbrush. It sounds like you actually want a Scatter brush.

Add the brush to the Brushes panel again, and this time choose Scatter.
