Description

Tree Tool allows you to manage each tree individually.

Using this tool, you can perform the following actions on trees:

• Move;
• Scale;
• Change color;
• Change prefab;
• Extract;
• Inject;
• Duplicate;
• Delete.

In addition, the tool can perform the following mass actions:

• Clear;
• Extract
• Inject.

Using Tool

Select the Tree Tool from the toolbar.

Terrain Trees

The Scene View will display a square at the position of each tree. Important: Squares have a limited display distance (50 units by default).

Click on the square to select a tree.

The tree will display handles allowing you to move and scale the tree.

Close to handles, a toolbar will be displayed allowing you to do the following:

• Color - changes the color of the selected tree.

• Prefab - replaces the prefab of the selected tree. Only prefabs added in the Paint Trees section of the Terrain component can be used.

• Extract - extract the selected tree from the terrain, and instantiates it in the scene.

• Duplicate - creates a duplicate of the selected tree with the same settings and position as the original and selects it.

• Delete - deletes the selected tree.

• Settings - shows a window with tool settings.

  • Create Undo - create an undo for each action. Can create freezes. Disabled by default.
  • Selection Distance - how far the squares for selecting trees will be displayed. The default is 50 units.
  • Selection Size - the size of the square for selecting trees.
  • Snap To Terrain - should trees snap to the terrain.

• Update Available - indicates that the built-in update system contains a new version of the asset. Click to open updater.

• Help - contains links to documentation, asset pages, support, and a built-in update system.

Tree Injection

When Tree Tool is active and GameObject that is the root of the prefab and contains MeshRenderer is selected, a toolbar will be displayed next to the handles, allowing you to quickly inject the tree instance.

Mass Actions

Mass actions are grouped under "Tools / Infinity Code / Tree Tool / Mass Actions". You can:

• Clear trees for selected terrains.
• Extract all trees from selected terrains.
• Inject selected tree instances.

Updating Asset

We send to Unity Asset Store only stable versions.

Tree Tool has a built-in update system, using which you can download the latest versions of Tree Tool and get early access to all versions and updates.

Important: Always back up the project before updating assets.

Select "Tools / Infinity Code / Tree Tool / Check Updates", to open the updater window. Enter your Invoice Number or Order Number, select the update channel and click "Check New Versions".

You can find your Invoice Number in Unity Asset Store order confirmation email, or on the orders page in Unity Asset Store: https://assetstore.unity.com/orders

If more than 10 updates were released in the selected channel from the current version, only the last 10 updates will be shown.

If updates are available, you can read the list of changes and download the update.

If you have problems installing the update, then:

1. Remove "Plugins / Infinity Code / Tree Tool" folder.
2. Import the new version of Tree Tool into the project.

If you want to return to the previous version of Tree Tool, then select the channel "Stable Previous". Using this channel, you can get 10 previous stable versions.

Tree Tool automatically checks for updates every 24 hours. If the new version is available, you will see an icon in the Actions. Clicking on this action will open the updater window.

Automatic update check does not require an Invoice Number, and works on a previously selected update channel. If you did not select the update channel, then only stable versions will be checked.

Troubleshooting

Known Issues

Squares are not displayed Squares have a limited display range. The default is 50 units. Get closer to the tree.

Squares cannot be selected Select any other tool, then select Tree Tool again.

Undo support Tree Tool has full undo/redo support, but for performance reasons it is disabled by default. You can enable it in the settings.

UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStackTrace warning or an empty warning This warning is generated by the Unity Terrain Engine, and unfortunately we can't work around it or disable it.

Tree rotation Unity Terrain Engine does not support tree rotation, and this cannot be implemented in the current version of the editor.

Other Infinity Code assets

Huge Texture

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/input-management/huge-texture-163576

Huge Texture allows you to import and use textures larger than 8192x8192px.

How it works: When importing a texture, Huge Texture splits the texture into pages and saves it as a Texture Array. Texture Array is combined on the shader side, which does not create extra draw calls and has almost no effect on performance.

Features:

• The maximum size of the texture: PNG and JPEG up to 16384x16384px, RAW up to 2GB (0.715 gigapixels, 26624x26624px for square textures without transparency);

Requirements:

• Not all platforms support Texture Arrays. The list of supported platforms is here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SL-TextureArrays.html
