Hello all,
Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for vegetation to grow on
on the underside!
Can I edit the areas where this happens in D5,
so that the vegetation appears on the correctly side?
Does this have anything to do with UV mapping?
Bye

… it would be nice if someone from support could comment on this.
As I said, this effect is not uncommon.
Bye

Hi Andreas, sorry for the late reply. Next time you encounter that problem, please reverse the faces or Normal of the material in your modeling software, then sync back to D5 Render.
For example, in SketchUp, if I import a model with the wrong side， then in D5 the grass will grow on the underside after I turn on grass material or scatter plants. After I reverse the face in SU then sync to D5, the grass will become normal. This should work for other modeling software as well.
Hello Oliver,
thanks for the tip.
Yes, in my modelling software this is also possible.
I was thinking, reversing the normals would also be possible in D5,
as it is possible in the other visualisation software I use.
Even though D5 is not a modelling software, the possibility to change the normal
for surfaces in D5 would be an advantage.

I have the same case but happened not on reversed plane but on mirrored object.
I know exploding all the model (mirrored object) will solve this but I cannot in this case.
Hello mrait,
if you cannot change the area in your modeling software, you can try placing Plants with a path on this area.
Bye
Andreas
Hi @mrait
I apologize for the inconvenience. After exploding the group, could you reverse the face of this specific surface?
@a.drexler thanks! I guess its the only way for now. I tried importing the same model in a new D5 file, but its the same.
HI @Clov,
Thanks for the reply.
I exploded the group (component for SKP) but I didn’t need to reverse the face as it is just mirrored.
After exploding the groups, it is fine. I was able to put the grass (using brush) as expected.
I put the same model (not exploded just mirrored) in a new D5 file and applied grass (using brush).
And I have this result. The grass is applied on one mirrored object only and not on the underside for the other mirrored object. I guess this is a separate topic haha.
