Hi all,
I have a large exterior scene with tons of landscaping. I have the landscape plan in CAD format and all the plant symbols are blocks. When I import the cad file into max, all the blocks are instanced. Normally, I'd use the substitute modifier on the block to replace all instances of the block with the correct 3d plant, but it seems that in Max 9, the substitute modifier won't let me select the proxy as the substitute object. Anyone know a way around this?
I know I can use clone and align, but I have hundreds of instances and would like a quicker way. I remember seeing a tutorial on this somewhere but I can't seem to find it now.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
