RailClone Pro (*) / Re: Outgoing / Incoming corners ?
« Last post by HU0164 on July 15, 2025, 08:37:31 am »Thanks for the revised version.
But I like to understand: why it works on the left side and why we have to increase the value on the right side.
The pivot is in the center of the object.
And why is there no problem with the outgoing angles object? Only a problem on the incoming angle.
I've tried the outgoing angle object in pivot mode, and it works fine.
Please explain.
Thank you very much.

Forest Pro (*) / Errant Patches of Large Grass
« Last post by Dustin on July 15, 2025, 07:35:49 am »I think its due to the geometry underneath but Im not sure how to correct it. Im surprised that FP is affected by the size of the polygons used on the surface or a quick change to a slope? You would assume that FP has the ability to scale the grass clumps in order to traverse sharp elevation changes? Whats most surprising is FP's answer to this by adding one huge grass cluster over the top of a mound and hoping for the best...lol..It basically scaled the one cluster to patch the surface where it cant figure out what to do. I guess Ill have to get in there and even out the polygon spread but still surprised this is still an issue.

RailClone Pro (*) / Cladding Alignment
« Last post by LC3D on July 15, 2025, 05:17:25 am »Hey All,
I'm wondering if there is a way to get cladding to align on 90degree planes...?
I come across this issue all the time and I'd love to know how to fix it...
Many thanks.
Luke.

Forest Pro (*) / Re: Forest Pack & Balcony Plants
« Last post by Michal Karmazín on July 14, 2025, 03:17:09 pm »My apologies for the confusion regarding the use of Spline Area(s). Since your initial question was about the best approach for this type of setup, I mentioned it as an alternative worth considering. That said, if you're already using a Surface Area, the UV mode should work just fine. If necessary, you can adjust the UV mapping to help avoid repetition.
As mentioned previously, if you encounter any trouble with it, please feel free to send us your scene and we will be happy to take a look. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

« Last post by KD4391 on July 14, 2025, 02:02:23 pm »The thing im confused about, is i just added a spline to the AREA (include spline). The UV is within the surface area is it not? However if i am doing this via spline and NOT surface then how is this done? sorry mate i am confused.

« Last post by Michal Karmazín on July 14, 2025, 01:58:39 pm »You're welcome. The alignment issue occurs because the Pivot Point is used to position the segment. However, you can easily correct this by adjusting the Right Padding value to compensate. Please find attached a revised version of your scene. I hope this helps.

In most cases, everything works just fine for any area type. However, I mentioned Spline Area(s) because even when using Surface Area, the plug-in internally generates a virtual spline from the closed edges of the mesh. This virtual spline is used for several operations, including boundary checking, falloffs, and more. Sometimes—especially when there are issues in the surface topology (such as overlapping faces)—this virtual spline may not behave as expected, which can lead to problems like self-intersections. Using Spline Areas gives you direct and precise control over these splines used in the distribution.
While detaching "stacked surfaces" is currently required when using the default XY mode, this is not necessary when using the previously mentioned UV mode. If you encounter any issues, please feel free to send us your scene and we will be happy to take a look. Thanks in advance.
