Civil view import polygons

[Beka_Tchigladze]

Hello 

I want to use use 3ds max for infraworks. I studied how to animate some cars and it works well and I am very happy with that, but I want also to import some polygons from maybe Civil 3D and place group of different trees within this polygons after that I will export and use it in infraworks is there any opportunity to import polygons like I imported alignment? can anyone tell me how to do this job ? to place randomly different type of trees within polygon?

I have tried This type things but there is not desired results.

yes you can import file / model from Civil 3d

Thank you for your response but I think you did not guess what I exactly mean. I know how to import polygon I wander if there is possibility automatically add trees within this polygon.

[rendermaster]

My apology.....Actually you can add trees, however, it is totally separated from 3ds Max Civil View workflow..
in 3ds Max Civil View - you can manipulate object ( distance, random placement, etch) but in case of imported objects and or not part of Civil View Libraries, you cant manipulate them the way you manipulate those Civil View Model...

So I have project of road and there are little forests along this road in some places and I have polygons of this forests and I should add trees inside polygons, I am going to make visualization in Infraworks of my project, but it is hard in Infraworks to add different species group of trees, I make animated cars along the road in 3ds max and I will import it in Infraworks later. but it will be good if there is possibility to add this forest areas also from 3ds max, because it seems, it is possible to add different species off tree along tangents and I thought there might be way to add group of different species of trees (Automatically) in there too.

Yes you can always imported object like trees and cars along with those Civil View Models....

And this is what im talking about on my previous response... you can manipulate imported object independently

I understand that yes it is really great but as you see there, all the trees is placed along polygon edges and I guessed that it is possible to manually add some trees inside the polygon but, I am interested in that if it is possible to done this job automatically using software and do not do manually. is there possibilities to add different types of trees automatically inside polygon?

check this....i used the same spline used in Civil View. I use the spacing tool to add trees along spline

Either I can not explain well what the result I need to get from 3DS Max, or you cannot realize what I mean. I have make screen cast in my Infraworks and please see thoroughly, what I want to make in 3ds max, see the screen cast up to the end and please make answer after that. I need the same effect in 3ds max.
