Hi.
I'm creating a stadium. I'm using FP to distribute characters.
For the seats, I have the top faces of where the character sits (just squares)
I've set distribution to Reference.
I've selected the seats object
I've set it to face centres
It's assigning 2 characters per face/object.
For clarity, I'm using a cube for this image

How can I tell it to assign just 1 character.
The seats object is an editable poly. It's not triangulated.
There are only 4 vertices per face (seat)
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for question. Forest Pack distributes items per face(Center of 3 verteces), not per polygon. Every Quad polygon has two triangle faces.
Hope this explains how ForestPack works.

Can you think of any way I can get around this?
Thanks again

Hi. you can explode current mesh to separate objects:
convert to mesh explode to objects:

Recenter pivots
Then Clone and align a new "triangle face" with clone and align tool:
