ForestIvy / Import Baseline ... not interactive?
« Last post by eqko on December 08, 2025, 02:44:50 pm »Hi there,
When using import for a baseline (see attachement ivy_import), the ivy doesn't updated when moving the imported baseline ... so when the scene is attached as xref to another scene and moved, the ivy stays behind ...
Testcase:
Am I overlooking something, am I trying to do something it wasn't designed for, or am I creating a usecase for Ivy Import Baseline that has not been taken into account?
or do I somehow need to convert the imported baseline to an actual paintline (which does update when moving the surface or the xref in another scene)

Testcase:
- create a helix spline (Helix001)
- import is as baseline in an ivy.
- move the helix object (see ivy_moved_baseline)
- notice the ivy not moving with the splineobject (Helix001) choses at import

« Last post by Michal Karmazín on December 08, 2025, 02:42:41 pm »Hi Phil,
When creating a Forest object / using a spline or surface, always check the coordinates - they should match the intended orientation. For example, a spline or plane created in the Front view will behave differently in ForestPack than one created in the Perspective or Top view.
If you want to change it, you can use 3ds Max’s Rotate tool just as you would with any other object. For splines or surfaces that have been reused or imported, it can also be helpful to apply the Reset XForm utility to reset their local coordinates.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,

Forest Pro (*) / Rotating Icon
« Last post by Sketchrender on December 08, 2025, 02:34:31 pm »Good afternoon.
This may be a very simple solve, but i have never worked out how to rotate the icon.
So at the moment, when i use the generate and not Icon Mode, I get a vertical icon, and so everything tries to built vertically.
How do i reset it to Horizontal.
I tried rotating it , but to no avail.
Help would be grateful.
Thank you
Phil kelly

If you paint a lot, render, paint more lots of crashes

I have resolved the issue by changing the location of the folder. It was same disk (space was not an issue).
I have also set different folder for downloaded packages. Previously I used same folder both for packages and installation.

I'm sorry to hear you're facing these troubles. Please double-check, that there's enough space on the unit, optionally try to set another folder under Update Manager's Preferences > Packages Cache > Select folder.
If that doesn’t resolve the issue, I suggest proceeding with the following steps:

- Check the path under Update Manager's Preferences > Packages Cache.
- Close the Update Manager.
- Remove all the content from the folder found in the first step / the default one:
C:\Users\<yourUsername>\AppData\Local\Itoo Software\Update Manager\downloads - Reset the Update Manager by deleting the following file and download these again:
C:\Users\<yourUsername>\AppData\Local\Itoo Software\itoosoft_packages.ini

My internet is ok, disks are ok, licenses ok...
How to resolve this?
Thank you
