Help with Converting Dash Scatter Nodes to Instance Foliage
I am setdressing scenes set in a world with great expanses of nothingness apart from rocks, pebbles, and all kinds of very short and multicolored turf/ grass, it is for a long format project and I will make sure to share on here when it comes out -for now I can't say much more. All I can say though is that Dash has been incredibly useful and sped up the process immensely ! 🫶

Help with Converting Dash Scatter Nodes to Instance Foliage
Hi Daniel!
Apologies for the very delayed response - got crazy busy 🙏
I think I figured out why it was crashing - It is when Dash is converting my referenced Static Meshes into Static Mesh Foliage and I think one or two of those static meshes are buggy and cause Unreal to crash, the rest converts fine, very strange but glad I figured it out.
What I ended up doing is leaving everything as is since after testing with on another PC without Dash I realised everything appears fine - just isnt editable as you explained above ✨
Thanks so much for always taking the time to respond to all the queries!
Super appreciative 🫶

Absolutely! I will make sure to share the final project when it is released 🙌
Thanks so much for the troubleshooting and your time, Daniel 🙏

That actually makes a lot of sense when thinking of the events leading to this issue - I added a new Dash scatter node and when I went to edit an older one that's when I noticed they were all gone and only the new one I made was editable 😲 !

Yes I am working with Perforce but no one else has been working at the same time or grabbing that level yet ( It is just me working on setting up the scenes/setdressing ) . The other level has been set up exactly the same.
Quick side note - Dash is such an amazing tool, I was able to quickly learn my way around and create beautiful scenes in a matter of days despite being quite new at Unreal and Setdressing/ Scene building, I love working with Dash! Thank you and your team for creating such an intuitive and useful tool 🫶

Yes I see the DashSceneData and what stresses me out is that since this issue has occured the code/ information I used to see in details panel > Data section of the Dash Scene Data node/tool is a lot less than what it was 😓

Hi Daniel!
Thanks so much for getting back to me 🙏
I could send some screen records through but what I am working on hasn't been released yet, so I am unable to share it in this public thread due to confidentiality issues.
However, looking at your screen record - what is happening on my side is that when I select the Scatter nodes the Tool editor doesn't even pick up that it is there - the list is blank and no sliders come up to allow me to edit the node (as if I have not created any nodes yet).
I have had the issue where the landscape/floor assets get unreferenced and re-referencing it as you demonstrated in your recording works - But in my particular case the nodes become uneditable/ the editor doesn't pick up on them anymore. I am able to create new scatter nodes and that works which is why this is so mind-boggling
