Foliage local rotation

Yeah, I tried that as well and i don’t find it much easier to use.
It’d be nice if I could get some kind of staff response on this or i guess I’m in for many hours of placing rocks lol.
I figure i can place the ridges by hand with static meshes and do the fill with the foliage tool but still it’s less than ideal.
I’m not even sure if that’s an option though for a scene that going to end up with thousands of static meshes, and I’d hate to find out hours in that its killing my performance.
