Planting help

[bj104]

Hi all,

I just started working with the JN6 designer and am having a pretty great time with it so far. My only issue is planting, it's really a pain right now. I am working on a real course that has quite a bit of tall grass, and it's taking ages to plant it. Is there a quicker/less painful way to go about this? Currently I am just copy/pasting a few grass types and placing them, but I am going to have to place many thousands of grass objects at this pace. I'm hoping there is a better way to do this as I feel like I am missing something.

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately there's really no way around this. I know there are some grass objects that are a little bit wider but how much wider do you want them before you lose the effect of the grass object's appearance. My design experience is probably just above your level. Just be patient with your design and you will eventually achieve your desired result.

Thanks for the encouragement, just wanted to make sure there wasn’t some workaround or shortcut before I spent so much time on it I’ll keep plugging away!

If you want to speed the process up hold the control button down and click on your object . This allows you to place the object without using the copy and paste process. When I do large areas of grass and I have several that blend together well I hold the control button down and select several at a time which really speeds up the process. You can use this method with as many as eight objects at a time. Hope this helps.
