xgen Collide modifier in Maya 2017?

I'm trying to add collision between dynamic xgen guides and meshes in the scene.

 

Support section just says to add a collide modifier in the interactive groom editor, however as you can see

there is no such thing on the modifier list. Help would be appreciated.

The collision modifier was added in a later Update. Update 3 for 2017 has a lot of new features and improvements.

Xgen interactive grooming Comb brush's collide with meshes option doesn't work properly with custom geometry, though it works fine with inbuilt geometrys like sphere, plane etc. Is it because of non planner faces? Because for custom geometry problem occurs on some area or faces of geometry

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. some tools of interactive xgen seems not work properly with some kind of geometry. Neither with the 3d models of the content browser.

 

If you load a cow, or a cat from the content browser, assign an interactive groom description and starts to comb with "collide with mesh" activated, there are some areas that looks terribly weird.

 

And the smooth tools doesn´t work properly.

 

Is there any way to fix this?
