Problem Picking Subsets from Foam

[wxyz]

I find that when I click on the Simulator from a Foam object I cannot get the roll down menu to select Spray or Foam. This happens even after loading the presets that have a foam component.

what if you try to choose a PF object? it uses the same UI mechanism

[wxyz]

PF objects are ok

[Ivaylo Katev]

no idea. if the problem persist, send us a scene

[wxyz]

Is the procedure to hit "h" when picking the Foam source?

[Ivaylo Katev]

no, if it appears it is some side effect

[wxyz]

What is the procedure?

[Ivaylo Katev]

just pick the phoenix simulator that contains the foam, and a dialog with all the particle groups should appear

[wxyz]

Anyone else having this problem?

[wxyz]

I create a simulator and select liquid and check foam. I create a foam and select the simulator. No subsets are shown and the base simulator is selected. Am I missing a step?

[Ivaylo Katev]

did you perform simulation before the attempt of selection?

[wxyz]

No, I thought the foam had to be set up prior to the simulation.

[ivaylo.ivanov]

Prior the simulation the actual foam do not exist yet.

[wxyz]

Thanks. Why have people been wishing that foam could be added after the sim if that's the only way to do it?

[Ivaylo Katev]

because the foam is just a particle group, it has no privileges, like ability to be chosen before its creation.
