    Okay, I've looked at a number of threads online and numerous videos on YouTube and I still cannot find my problem precisely. I made a tree in Blender (even though it's not the best) and I want to add it to my terrain and paint it like any other asset. However, for some reason, my tree just won't be added to the terrain. My custom trees won't paint and neither will my custom grass. I found a way around my custom grass by uploading the mesh to the Tree painter which allows it to work but it doesn't allow me another tree I created to be painted. I also cannot seem to get the Detailed Mesh either. I can upload the materials and prefabs if needed. Would anyone have even the slightest clue what's wrong? It just won't paint my files.

    Perhaps the models need a certain component before it can be painted?

    EDIT/

    I checked the errors and it said something about how my model couldn't be instanced because the bounds couldn't be determined. I have an idea of what that is however, I have no idea about how to go about fixing it.

    Well, not that anyone cares but I eventually figured out my problem and I think I'm going to create a tutorial on how to get interesting trees in Unity. Basically, it was the LOD. I didn't insert any information. I had to insert information into the LOD and THEN upload the tree. I had a LOD Component however, it didn't have any actual levels of details into it. I assume a tree needs that to be inserted into the terrain.

    I posted my results on my Instagram page if anyone is curious. And if anyone reading this message needs help, don't be afraid to send me a PM. I'd be glad to give you as much information and guidance that I can on the issue. I know this is also a Double Post, and usually those type of things are against the rules however, I had a need to post this message because of how long it's been since I posted it.

    Computer Science rocks!

    No problem. I knew this was an issue that a lot of beginners were going to face, so I figure, why not help out a few people here or there?
