Jeordanis Figuereo	Hi, I can reproduce the issue. The team is working on a fix. Thank you for your report. I will keep you posted. EDIT: Are you adding a distribution mesh in Ground Strands? This features requieres a distribution mesh. If you try to create strand groups without one you will see the warning in the Script Editor: // Warning: Ornatrix: [\|HairFromCurves1\|EditGuides1] Distribution mesh is required, not applying group changes // EDIT2: You don't need a distribution mesh or Ground Strands if you set the Tracking Method in Edit Guides to Strand instead of Surface. Surfaces is what requieres a distribution mesh to work. Jeordanis Figuereo (Product Designer. EPHERE Inc.) LinkedIn Discord
