Forest Lite / Re: Forest Pack for 3ds Max problem
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on Today at 08:59:13 AM »Hi Stacey,
Please double-check, that the Forest scale is set to 100% on all axes. If not, setting the scale correspondingly should fix it.

Forest Lite / Forest Pack for 3ds Max problem
« Last post by staceydrennon on Today at 08:47:18 AM »Hello,
For anyone who uses forest pack, do you ever run into a problem where the objects appear squashed/flat. For instance, the trees, when they get imported, the proxies are just flat and they don't appear in renders. If so how do you fix it?

I'm afraid not. 3ds Max 2025 is supported since RailClone Pro 6.3, which was released on September 23, 2024.

RailClone Pro (*) / Re: Scale down to fit segment but not scale up
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on March 18, 2025, 09:37:59 AM »In such a case, using the 'Scale final X seg.' macro would be the recommended way.

« Last post by junglejuz on March 18, 2025, 06:30:05 AM »Thanks so much for responding with this Michael. I probably should have mentioned that there will be more than one object segment per spline segment. So I need it to scale the last one back. Your setup works only on the first object on the spline segment. Basically I'm trying to fill an entire library of bookshelves with clusters of books, so ideally Railclone should only place a second object per spline segment if more than say 70-75% of that object could fit on that segment. This would help avoid some needing to be scaled back too much and also create some variation with not all shelves being completely full. Here's a link to a stripped back version of my setup.

I really appreciate your help.

RailClone Pro (*) / Re: URGENT ! No Geometry Error

It's definitely a Material ID problem.
Color 7 on Autocad = ID 7 3DS Max
Thanks for your help.

« Last post by Michal Karmazín on March 17, 2025, 04:17:43 PM »Hi,
You can check if the size of the used segment is larger than the spline section using the 'if' condition within the Arithmetic operator (return if(Input1 > XSectionLength, XSectionLength, Input1);). If it is, you can override its size to match it within the Transform Operator. Please find attached a sample scene (250317_XSectionLengthCheck_ITOOSOFT.max). I hope this helps.

« Last post by Michal Karmazín on March 17, 2025, 03:24:58 PM »Hi,
I'm sorry to hear you're facing trouble with it. Curb styles use the spline's Material IDs to assign different types of curbs (ID 1 for normal curb, ID 2 for drop curb), so feel free to set the corresponding part(s) of the spline to the appropriate Material ID. Let me mention that, as posted here on our forum:
"... upon my experience, in case of importing splines from a .dwg file, its Color is used for generating the 3ds max Material ID. If you want to avoid the Edit Spline modifier step - assigning the Red color to such spline (layer) should result in ID 1 / Yellow as ID2 (as the Red color should be indexed 1 (Yellow 2) in AutoCAD)."
I hope that helps.
