Spline placement

[Delija]

Anyone know why when using spline placement to place some trees almost 40% of the trees are not there? like, thay are listed in the placed objects, with lods and everything but thay are not on the map. and how to fix it? thanks

Are the trees point of origin/translation set correctly i.e.  X = 0, Y = 0 ,Z= 0

Check that the LOD transform Group of the tree is not at a different translation to the parent Transform Group e.g pinusSylvestris_stage01 is the parent TG

Here is my problem, as you can see i have 6 different trees that are suposed to be placed along the spline. When i place them and than select an area, trees marked blue are on the map, the rest are placed along the spline but they are actually not there, on the map

That looks to me like you are trying to place trees on a border mesh which won't work the spline script will only place trees on the map terrain

[Delija]

It is on the map terrain, in the middle of the map terrain. i am just using an image as a terrain decal for better placement of the objects on the map

Move the terrain decal below the map and see if the trees are on the terrain and show the Attributes panel for one of the missing trees

Also the spline Placement panel with the settings you are using

With the missing tree (aspen_stage05) selected in the scenegraph select 'F' on the keyboard, this will take you to the location of the tree on the map and let me know what happens

Its aspen_stage6 thats missing, and this is how it look. It takes me to the "location", just under the map terrain. but there is nothing. Alse, when i open TG of that tree, everything is there,LOD0...LOD1, everything is just like Aspen_stage05. Only difference is that Aspen S5 is showing up on the map, Aspen S6 is not. Also i dont know if that has something to do with it but total number of trees placed is 659. That means that Aspen stage6 in this picture is not showing up, but if you go down the list there are many other Aspen Stage 6 that is showing up normaly. Same with other trees. i Have 4 different trees in the "objectsToPlace. and you will find every one of them both showing up and not showing up in that list of placed objects

Apologise profusely, I have found an error in the script and will update the splinePlacementPanelCombined_25 script later today.

Problem was caused by the Random Scale settings some trees were given a scale of '0' with Scale Low (Min) set below 1 so were placed but invisible.

Script will be updated later as I have an update to do to the Fence Power Placement script also.
