Can't Add Foliage Paint Meshes

Hey, I’ve encountered a very strange error. It seems that I am unable to drag static meshes into the Foliage Paint area.

I’ve tried my own meshes and also ones created by Epic. When I drag meshes into the foliage paint area and release, nothing is loaded. I find this very odd. I checked out a youtube tutorial on the foliage paint tool and the guy had absolutely no problem dragging meshes into the area.

Any idea why this may be happening? Thank you.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. Dragging meshes to the black bar doesn’t seem to work either… hmm.

Ahh, got it!

Hi Daphnis26,

You need to actually drag the mesh onto the black bar that says “Drag static meshes from the content browser into this area”.

We are aware of this issue, and have a report logged to fix it.

Cheers

Great! You probably came to the same conclusion I just did…looking closer at your image, I realized you were trying to drag in a Blueprint instead of a Static Mesh, which will not work.

Cheers

Yes, that was it. Dragging a mesh onto the bar like you said worked!
