Once you have painted and scaled elements within your foliage container(?) can you duplicate, drag and copy things you have adjusted?
You can move individual items, but copying and pasting areas isn’t supported ( as far as I know ). It’s easier just to paint some more foliage.
These answers save me time trying to find solutions that do not exist. Thank you for the help @ClockworkOcean
No worries. The foliage tool is a great thing, but it is assumed it will be used in a certain way.
There is also the procedural method of foliage placement:
And it’s not too hard to write a blueprint script to place the foliage yourself. Then you get total control.
