scatter on surface doesn't work
« on: May 28, 2024, 11:48:00 pm »
Hi everyone,
I'm in the middle of creating some vertical walls with the vertical assets from the library.
I have several walls that are facing in different direction and because of this I'm trying to use the UV set up.
Problem is, FP icon is becoming yellow but I don't see any object scattered.

I thought I was doing something wrong, so I tried with other presets(grass) on a plane surface, with either xy grid or uv, but it's not working.
I think I'm following the right configuration for using and at hits point I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is a problem.

Is there a known issue?
Something I should try or attached so as you to check?

Thanks in advance,
Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,

I'm sorry to hear that you're facing trouble with it. Considering the yellow color of the Forest's icon, please double-check if these items might simply be hidden due to Camera clipping (Camera > Limit to visibility). If that's not the case, if possible, please feel free to send us your scene, ideally simplified and containing only the problematic objects.

Thank you in advance for any further details you can share with us or our user community. Your insights may help other users who encounter similar issues.

Best regards,

Thank you for providing the scene. It appears that the Surface Area was disabled for Forest001, which might have happened accidentally. Enabling it (Areas > Surface Area > On) seems to resolve the issue.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

I knew was something too simple to be found.
Apologies for the inconvenient, didn't think to look for something so simple.
