Forest Pro (*) / Re: Problem with exporting Scale coordinates with Forest Exporter
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on Today at 08:38:40 AM »Hi,
Thank you for reporting this issue. With your help, I've been able to reproduce this behavior as well. As you have pointed out, scale values are not influenced by the Scale Falloff feature, although the localTM and finalTM values are correct. This will need to be investigated in more depth by our main developers, and hopefully, it will be something that can be fixed soon.
Best regards,

Forest Pro (*) / Problem with exporting Scale coordinates with Forest Exporter
« Last post by Olstatt on Today at 05:28:22 AM »Hey team,
I found an issue with exporting the correct scale coordinates with the Forest Exporter into an XML file.
It seems that it exports correctly when I have the Random scale enabled under the Transform tab. But if I'm using just the Falloff Scale functions (under the areas tab) then these are not registered in the XML file.
Is it possible to fix this?
Thank you.

Forest Pro (*) / Re: Unable to Determine Object Names
« Last post by leejk on April 18, 2024, 02:28:03 PM »Hello,
Thank you for response. I do see a tooltip in the geometry list, but there is still a problem that maybe I did not explain correctly. If the Name field for the geometry gets changed to something else, then the gemometry list name gets changed to match that. However the Custom Object field still uses the original name of the object in the scene, but if it is a long name like I mentioned before, then there is no tooltip shown when you hover over it. And there is no way to see which object in the scene it is referencing. So some UI cleanup/fix there could be done. A tooltip though would solve the issue and this was probably the original design intent anyway by developers.
Regarding the copy/paste issue, the Interface area in the docs should be updated to explain that further. I looked again this morning and it is explained a little better in the Procedures area.

« Last post by Michal Karmazín on April 18, 2024, 11:09:31 AM »Hi,
Unfortunately, the RailClone plug-in cannot "unevenly scale" the used segment. However, you can use shorter segments and apply, for example, the Vertex Weld modifier to join them. Another possibility would be to directly adjust the base spline to achieve the desired shape (for example, with the help of the Wave modifier) and use that one for the other part with the RailClone plug-in and the inner part with the usual spline modeling techniques. Please find attached both approaches applied to your provided scene. I hope that helps.

Forest Pro (*) / Re: Unable to Determine Object Names
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on April 18, 2024, 09:29:47 AM »Hi,
Some time ago, we removed the tooltips to minimize the UI load and included options to hide rollups. However, you should be able to see the full name when hovering over the item in the Geometry list. As for the Copy & Paste icons, they are not intended for use between Forest objects, but rather within the same Forest object. They mainly serve to "duplicate" the item and readjust the settings, and they appear to work well in this context. Thank you for your feedback - it is greatly appreciated.

RailClone Pro (*) / Re: Keyboard shortcut for Point-Clouds
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on April 18, 2024, 08:54:56 AM »Hi,
I’m afraid that at the moment our plugin doesn’t support customizing shortcuts. For these purposes, there's the RailClone Lister, which displays several handy details of each RailClone object in the scene and allows you to change the display and proxy modes easily. Anyway, we'll see what can be done in future versions.

Is there a way I can make a keyboard shortcut to toggle between Point-Clouds and Mesh Display/Build?
Thank you.
