Instance Problems when creating the expression for outdoor Environments

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Instance Problems when creating the expression for outdoor Environments

Hi Guys

Well, getting on well with the Outdoor Environments tutorial until i came across this problem. When i created the second particle system so that i could random scale the short grass along the path the expression was accepted (see attached picture) however in the General Options -> Scale drop down i am not able to see the Random Scale attribute that i have created.

I have also tried adding an different name "CWScale" just in case my first attribute was named somewhere else in the program, but still doesn't show in the drop-down

Any thoughts?

Cheers Mith

Try selecting allow all data types. That may fix it.
