The Monte Carlo simulation of the static properties of galaxies in three-dimensional space, including positions, magnitudes, colors, sizes, orientations and shapes, and the projection of those properties onto the sphere of the sky, are accomplished by the computer technique described. The use of the technique is illustrated in the Local Supercluster galaxies. It is shown that the observational data are consistent with a two-part model, in which the galaxies closest to the plane of the Local Supercluster have random orientations and those outside the plane are aligned with a degree of dispersion.
