Title: Objects to follow the path for preset
Post by: NP2889 on July 31, 2015, 12:37:03 PM
Hello,

i am trying to achive a preset for cars, I want to just draw the splines and add the preset to scatter
the cars. Unfortunately the objects on the spline will not orientate along the spline as seen in the attachment.

What do i miss?

Just saw the post below. RailClone is the answer. Thanks!

Hi,

Currently, the Generate mode doesn't include any option to follow the direction of spline, but the Custom Edit mode includes a similar tool for this purpose: Tree Editor->Creation Tools->Along a Path. It works slightly different, because it creates single items along the path, instead using the area surrounding the spline. Hope that helps you.

You can find more about Creation Tools in our on-lime reference guide (http://docs.itoosoft.com/display/FORESTPACK/Tree+Editor).

By the way in this case you'll archive better results using very simple definition with RailClone.

Best regards,
