Surface problem with attached polygons

(1/1)

Hello,

I had a reference file, an fbx file attached from Revit. I've exploded the reference file and converted it to an editable poly. We made some changes in the scene so I had to expand the area. So I created another polygon surface and attached it to the first surface. However when I apply forestpack it only appears in the first polygonal surface not the second, and if I apply normal modifier and flip and unify normal than this time only the second attached surface becomes active. I've attached the file. I try to apply one forestpack to this surface but it fails. Any suggestions?

iToo:
Each one of the original surfaces had normals pointing to different directions (up and down respectively). So, a simple Normal modifier doesn't work here. Try this:

1) Change to "Element" mode in the editable poly.
2) Select the right side of the surface.
3) Apply a Normal->Flip Normals modifer (applying it only to the selection).
4) Reload the Surface in forest (Refresh button in the Surface rollout).

As far as i know, there is no way to see the normals vectors in an Editable Poly. But it can be done converting to editable mesh: Face mode->Show Normals.

Thank you,

I have detached the object and flipped normals and re attached but that did not work for me but when I converted to mesh and flipped the normals as you suggested that solved my problem.

Thank you again.
