I was going through the forrest asset tutorial and got to the part where you override the color with the pscale and then are supposed to paint the boxes and they should change accordingly. When I do this my boxes just don't change…. just wondering if anyone had any suggestions….

Thanks

I haven't done the tutorial so it's hard for me to say. If you post the .hip file you have so far, we can probably take a look.

so at this point you should be able to highlight paint and paint on the scale of the boxes… but nothing happens…. this is where I am stuck…..

The attribute names are case sensitive. You have “pscale” as uppercase in the AttribCreate and then you have it as lowercase in the Paint. Change them to match.

you better change both to lowercase, because “pscale” is automatically recognised by the Copy SOP and the copies are scaled by it accordingly

if you middle click on paint SOP it should say pscale in point attributes
if there is pscale, delete paint SOP and create new one
