This offer was created in January 2022. Since then, there have been many updates.
Among the most recent updates, a new scatter was added, but the community’s wishes continue to be ignored. The new scatter does not support custom imported 3D objects.
It’s sad to see

some usefull answer??
Hello. In the future we will support scattering more kinds of models and also scattering externally imported assets. Please look forward to future optimisations and updates.

I think it’s really really important to be able to scatter our own models of plants and people. Moreover, be able to save and share presets made with our own scattered objects. For now it’s nice to be able to use the D5 presets but in short time everybody will all have the same looking sceneries with the same patterns of plants so please allow us to customize our work…

Yeah. Really looking forward to this too.
I hope this gets implemented soon !
Hi! To the D5 team, do you know when this feature will be implemented? It’s really an assential function for many of us I think. Keep up the hard work, it"s a good software!
this is indead needed. scatter but also said in the first post also in linear.
just like this example: example mass placement.mp4
More than 2 years and still waiting.

Thank you for your patience. We are working on implementing the ability for the path tool to support local model resources.

Great to hear that!
Along with path tools, please allow inbuilt scatter to use local model resource as well.
Thanks

Please implement an option to add custom objects to the spacing tool and animation path tool.
Most voted and still nothing.
This needs to be added asap. Its the only thing holding us back in D5

Guys this is so important and it’s still under review. All the important things are are under review and only path tracing is supposed to come soon.
I understand you want us not to use other models and scatter only you fantastic trees and bushes, so we have to pay for a subscription.
Yet, we may need to scatter other things too except from vegetation.
I do agree with this one - please keep me updated if it is possible now

I was hoping so hard that it would be possible in the latest 2.10 version but alas, we’re bound to wait another round till this highly requested feature makes it to reality…
please add this feature, we have customer that hold back if that feature isnt in as it is essential for them(and i guess for many more), the question came up today. it coud be a pro/teams feature only so the free version cannot suround the limitated items, if that is the reason for this missing feature? i assume the scatter assets are internally a special proxy/instance format, so maybe it might need a tool to convert imported assets manually to the needed format , then add them to local or teams library, and be able to use them for scatter , brush and path, thanks!!!
D5 team. I’m sorry but if you want to attract landscape architects to this program you NEED to allow full brush/scatter workflow for local assets. I don’t care how robust your online library is – I doubt you will ever have all the plants I need (but that I can import 3d models of myself). For example – because you are reserving this workflow for online assets only, I now need to populate and entire Camassia leichtlinii wetland field with individual plant models (or find other time-wasting workflows)! Extremely frustrating and I will absolutely be canceling my PRO account until this becomes a feature (just allow it for PRO only if you’re worried about your $$$!). As a “client” of your program I am asking you to FINALLY implement this. Bottom line: For Architecture I can see how your online asset library may be sufficient, but for Landscape Architecture we NEED equivalent workflows with locally imported assets.
