@MartinJFrost "Tracks and Footprint decals"

Hi, when I use the footprints, I try to lay them out but they do not show up on the work screen, so when I render they are misplaced.

I try to line them up but would be a lot easier if I was able to see them in the preview screen.  Is there a way to do that?

    Which Drawstyle are you using? Decals are an Iray feature.

    Did you make sure to move the prop to the plane or floor? The ground plane needs to be the parent object in the scene for the footprints to show up in iray preview or render.

    Added a picture of the Iray ground Surface Decal Node under the floor node (so floor is parent). You also need to make sure the bounding box is around midway through the floor for the prints to show up.

    You're in texture shaded viewport mode. You need to switch to Iray Preview to see them in the viewport.

    This should drop down a list including "Iray Preview" (as I recall)
