Strange grass in random location can't delete

This is probably the third or forth time I encountered this issue. I was working on the file for days and all was good, then suddenly I see this random grass that’s placed in random locations and I am not able to delete or hide it at all. and it shows in the renders.

I’ve tried hiding every layer, I deleted everything in the model, and the grass still shows.
This happened in other projects in different files as well.
I have the latest D5 update.


Hi there, I apologize for the inconvenience. Have you tried checking the flip side of the surface in your DCC (3d Modeling software)? You may also want to check your 3d modeling software for hidden surfaces placed with the scatter tool.

Would it be possible for you to send this file so I can test it on my end? You may send it to “support@d5techs.com” and then have it titled “Clov—Forum Sudden Grass Appearance.”

thank you.

Thanks for your reply.

I just sent you my D5 file in email. please have a look and let me know if you see the same bug.

There are no hidden surfaces in my 3D model, and I didn’t use the scatter tool.


I had a problem like this too, it happens sometimes after syncing, it moved the grass away from the object with the grass material.

Have you tried resetting the material? change it from grass material to custom or something else, and then change it back to grass material?

There is a grass material in the model placed correctly, I reset that material and nothing happened to the random grass object.

also, it seems that I can’t even inspect/select the material on that random grass.

But I noticed, if I keep selecting and unselecting layers one by one (I did that multiple times) it fixes itself, and the random grass object disappears… but it doesn’t always work.

Hi there, I have opened your file, and this is what it looks like on my end:

I think the problem stems from the Site.3dm file. You might want to remove it if it is not in use since the grass that appeared on your screen was situated in that exact object/file.
