Is it possible to use a railClone object as an exclusion area in Forest Pro?

Hi,

Have you seen the real-time geometry exclusion tutorial?
http://www.itoosoft.com/forestpack.php
then =>  Parametric Areas tutorial.
on 0:30 sec there's a topic "real-time geometry exclusion"

does that work for railClone?

Hi,

Thanks for the query. I can confirm that RailClone does indeed work as an exclude area with Forest Pack. Just select it from the scene using the Object Area button ((http://www.itoosoft.com/img/forest/ref/button_object_area.gif)in the usual way.  Here's a screen grab from a recent presentation that demonstrates a RailClone stone path excluding grass made with Forest Pack.

Hope that helps,

Many thanks,

Paul

Hi,

Thanks for the question. Please try setting the RailClone and Forest Pack's coordinates to world origin (0,0).

Best,
Paul

For ForestPack Object: Display>Render>Max items> Increase by x10 or try value 0. Also, for better edge detection You can increase Resolution for Railclone object (Areas>Select Railclone001>Resolution)

For RailClone Object: Display>Render> Uncheck `Use instancing Engine`.

Sorry for not elaborating but I`m at some deadline project.
