Notes

• When you have chosen to import foliage height areas or a foliage height GeoTIFF, the already present tree constructions in the 3D world are ignored.
• When changing the Function values of a function, all these functions that exists in your project, will be updated with the new values.
• The Function values table is designed by default to not show all functions. Click on the Add buton to add other tree functions for example. See also the How to add Functions for editing page.
