If all chamber scaling ratios equal each other, i.e., kx = ky = kz, a new chamber is isometric to the previous one. Any differences in chamber scaling ratios cause allometric growth of successive chambers. | If all chamber scaling ratios equal each other, i.e., kx = ky = kz, a new chamber is isometric to the previous one.

* '''TF''' (translation factor) controls an overlap of successive chambers (see Fig.); the “0” TF value places the centre of a new chamber directly at the aperture of the last chamber. This parameter ranges from “-1” to “+1” values. Higher values detach a new chamber from the existing shell that represents a “forbidden zone” sensu Berger (1969) | * '''TF''' (translation factor) controls an overlap of successive chambers (see Fig.); the “0” TF value places the centre of a new chamber directly at the aperture of the last chamber.
