Paste Rotation
- Thread starter dricketts
- Start date
How? I can only paste at 12:00, 3:00, 6:00, & 9:00. No small increments in between. Moving individual trees off miles and miles of track is pretty time consuming. If I could paste parallel to the track that would save so much time.

Are you talking about copy/pasting in the Tools meni? If so there seems to be no way to get anything but 90 degree rotation. As the selection by the tool has to be related to the grid vertices there can be no other chioce.
I could find no way to get 45 degree rotation of the pasted selection. How do you do it?
It is possible to select and paste a 5 metre square if the grid spacing is changed, this would possibly allow the track to be followed at 45 degrees but not with rotation of the selected area
Am I off the track, are we talking about copy/pasting a selection or application of a ground texture?

Selecting a smaller square or rectangle does not do it. It is possible to fake it and move on a 45 degree path but the selection is still pasted square with the grid so you end up with a sawtooth pattern of the pasted selections. The selected area of whatever size can only move from vertex to vertex/ square to square.
Think of a chess board.

Sorry I misspoke. I meant 90 degree increments not 45 degree angles.
I been using a staggered row of trees at different heights that were created as one object. The concept works excellent for quickly placing rows of trees along long stretches of track. Unfortunately the kuid I'm using is outdated and there are newer trees available that are a much higher quality. Splines look too straight and unnatural. I was trying to find a work around to placing individual trees and the pasting tool just won't work that well for what I'm trying to accomplish.
I've tried to convince Jankvis to create some payware with his existing trees like what I've described above but no luck yet. He's stuff is very high quality.

Just wondering.
I wonder if it is possible to make an scenery object such as a ground plane with attachment points for existing trees. Because this is a scenery object there would be no constraints on shape, position or rotation. The plane object would not need to be visible if it was preset to be below the surface.
I don't have time to try it, it may not be possible. There's a challenge for someone.

Hi All: I personally like to plant individual trees..The reason is quite simple its called Frame Rate..I can run a train by allot Splines and it will slow down but it won't if I use individual Trees..
driketts: Wouldn't easer to use Individual Trees instead of the paste method??
P.S. I must admit however, my finger gets tired..

No...
... individual trees on that would drive you nuts. Crikey, copy-pasting it is driving me nuts lol
Individual trees (however placed) will always give better fps than splines over the same area. Splines in general are resource hogs...
