Add more than one tree to terrain at a time

[nsmith1024]

Hello,

I created a new terrain, then when i want to add some trees, it have to click “Edit Tree”, then “Add Tree” then i have to click on the prefab circle, then it brings up a window containing all the trees i can select from, then i have to search for the tree type i want to add, click on a tree, then type in the bend factor, then click add. Around 5 or 6 steps to add ONE tree type.

Then if i want to add another tree type, i have to do the whole process again. Seems its only possible to add 1 tree at a time. Since my terrain can have maybe 20 different tree types or more, this becomes exceedingly tedious.

I have to make 10 terrains each with around 20 different tree types.

Quick calculation shows I have to perform 10206 = 1200 steps just to add the tree types only.

It would be so nice if when it shows you the list of trees prefabs that you can add, you could select more than one at a time. The number of steps would be reduced dramatically because i could select all the tree types in a single step by holding down CTRL as i pick the tree prefabs to select multiple.

Just a suggestion to make our lives easier.

Thanks

Easily add many trees to your terrain

Does anyone know of a Unity Asset (or trick) for importing multiple trees onto a Unity Terrain without having to place them one at a time using the Place Tree terrain tool? We do want them imported into the Terrain in the same way as using the Place Tree tool but without the time consuming process of adding them individually with multiple clicks etc. Any thoughts? Thanks
