When using combination of schedule skews and random numbers, no random number is generated in the schedule skew. The skew for all objects ends up as zero. Maybe an oder of operations problem?

Example model attached.

    Hi Joe,

    Unfortunately this issue has not been resolved but it is in the queue. Currently this issue can be circumvented through a use of a model generation script of some kind that randomly assigns a number to the schedule_skew.

    I was able to find the cause of why using the random number assignment to schedule_skew doesn't work. global object properties that are part of the object structure do not support any of the variable assignments like transforms and random numbers. Some additions to load.c need to be made for object structure assignments.
