Object

Option	Description
Model	On "...", you can select the model for the entity.
TexturePreset	You can change textures and shaders on the selected mesh. Selects one and/or all as needed.
AI Coef	This is a "conditional" setting. It is responsible for increasing the player's stealth in the grass with a given texture. The closer the parameter to 1, the more effective the grass will be in hiding the player. Conversely, the closer to 0, the less effective. Another factor that also affects stealth is the number of grass around the player (property – density), distance from them to the player and grass size (property – scale).
Density	Density of the appearance of the model in the current color.
Min Scale	The minimum scale of the selected model in the current color.
Max Scale	The maximum scale of the selected model in the current color.
Enabled	If disabled, the model will not appear in the foliage.
Align To Normal	Aligns normally to the terrain. The main function is to align on Y or on the slope of the surface of the terrain, the rest is not affected. Affects Smart Size: if true, then the size is not modified by the Foliage Set Density or AO.
Rotate in XYZ	This works only when "Align To Normal" is switched off. If the property is checked, the object will have random rotation by every axis.
