      I have created a rather complex contour using "From Scratch" and "Smoove" sandbox tools. After spending many hours getting it ready, I am trying to insert components (trees), but get messages that "cannot insert". Components do not recognize the surface. I have tried placing them within the opened group which works some.

        This is a wild shot. Right click on the component, select unglue to release it from the plane on which it was formed? It should readily move where you place it.

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

          I also do not understand what's going on. "Inserting" a component means to pull it from the component browser. Is thatnot working?

            Hmmm. It's late here. I should have read your post more closely. My apologies.

              Well, nothing is certain yet (and it's already morning here but I have not had any sleep last night)

                I was simply acting on a picture of a component not responding and did not notice the "insert" term. 😳

                  To clarify. I am able to insert the same components on flat surfaces and also on grades I have created "From Contours".

                    So is this what you are trying to do?

                      Yes, Gaieus that is what I am trying to do. Did you smooth edges?

                        Not in that screenshot (as you can see) but in this one, yes. It works normally.

                          I am having intermittent success. Trying to see what consistently works. By the way where can I get some more photorealistic trees (preferably free), so I can render in Shaderlight when I am through.

                            3D or 2D (Face me trees)?

                            I do not have a great collection myself however.

                              I am trying to get some good renderings and am new to the rendering effort. After trying several programs, settled on Shaderlight recently. Seems like good features at a reasonable price. It appears that the 2D face me trees are usually more realistic. But would be interested in both.
