  I'm not too versed in Layout, I tend to get trapped modeling these
days..But i believe falloff works as such, layout works best if you modeled
your objects in the metric system. The value you fill in for falloff tells
layout how much to take away per meter. So if we have a fall off of 10% then
it will equal 100% after 10 meters. if it were 5% falloff it would be 100%
after 20 meters. So it helps to have the measurements of your object lying
around OR you can go to a texture button..click on it..and use a texture
image map..then select autosize..this will give you your objects
demensions...then you can play around with those numbers..hope it sheds some
light.

Someone correct me if i am wrong...plezzzz
