GeNa spawner with Terrain Flattener spawns buildings half underground

[mroshaw]

Hi!

I've been following the GeNa Decorator tutorial video and trying to apply the Terrain Decorator alongside a number of 3D Forge assets that I've bought from the Asset Store.

I follow the tutorial to the letter, but when I spawn my building into the terrain, it's spawned too low down, submerged into the terrain. So things like surrounding fences, carts, barrels etc are all spawned beneath the terrain:

My prefab hierarchy is this:

I have a Prefab Unpacker on the top level GameObject, and a Terrain Decorator on the Flattener GameObject.

With the Flattener and Towerhouse3 GameObjects at transform position (0, 0, 0) and scale (1, 1, 1).

If I drag the original prefab (TowerHouse03) onto a flat terrain, it's correctly aligned with the props and house nicely aligned to the terrain surface.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

The prefab Unpacker needs to be attached to the TowerHouse03 Prefab if you have decorators on it. 
Otherwise it will not work properly. 

If you can please send me a screenshot of the spawner, if you need further support.

The unpacker is on the parent GO, just like in the video tutorial.

I resolved this by bumping the height up in the prefab. I noticed in the 3D forge prefab assets, that the scenery was placed at (-1), so increasing the height of the whole prefab resolved the issue.

Thanks again!
