When you have a road placed, and you sculp the terrain it refresh it in real time, but if you undo the sculp the road does not refresh again. If you try to reset to conform the landscape again, it will keep the one with the sculp in the memory;.

Feedback from 3 days of use (v 1.88 / UE 5.5.1)
Hello! Here’s my feedback after experimenting with Dash this week, version 1.88 on UE 5.5.1 . Please mind that I might have not dig enough in certain functions, or I followed outdated tutorials from Youtube and many features disappeared/changed in the tool panel. :
There are definitely some super cool features and a huge time saver for certain tasks, particularly:
- Placing/repeating props and meshes,...
Dash toolbar button to act as a toggle
Hello,
Would it please be possible to make Dash button to act as a toggle ? I mean the first time you click on it, it displays the Dash floater, and the second time you click on it, it hides the Dash floater.
Thanks in advance 🙂

Dash Plugin Suddenly Causing Severe Performance Issues in Unreal Engine 5.3
Background:
Initially, I was using Dash 1.7 without any issues, and everything ran smoothly. The problems began unexpectedly after attempting to update to version 1.8. Although I reverted to version 1.7 due to interface bugs in 1.8 Beta, and it worked fine for a while, these severe performance issues suddenly emerged without any clear trigger.
Current Issues:...

Dash Content Browser Issue
I am currently unable to drag any assets that i've downloaded from MegaScans from the Dash content browser into my scene.
Has anyone else met the same issue? Currently using Unreal 5.5.1 and Dash 1.88...
Blend material resetting?
I've been saving thoroughly creating my scenes, but sometimes when I go back to them all the blend material settings are completely back to defaults. I'm not sure why this happening, but it takes a lot of time to set everything back to the way it was. :/
Issues with blend material resetting and vine baking
Hi, I am using Dash 1.8.5-rc.7 and have issue:
- I have created some vines / ivy using Dash's "Draw Vines" tool, and would like to bake them. When pressing the bake button, the "Ivy Mesh" or the stems disappear completely, leaving only floating lives "Ivy". Is it possible to bake vines without removing the stems?...

"+" and "-" beside control sliders and double click to reset to default
Sometimes it is easier to do small increments with + and - buttons
Fallback target -> Relative error ->0
When working with nanite the fallback mesh generates weird shadows as it is a low poly target mesh.
Would be nice to set Fallback target to Relative error and it's value to 0 with one simple command to have immediately perfect shadows on the asset....
Crashes when using masks in Scatter
In the scene i am currently working on i can not use masking on a Surface Scatter i have made with a landscape an a scattered tree. The scattering works fine, but when i try to add either a Landscape mask or an Object mask (with a spline) it thinks for a long time and then it crashes.
It is v1.8.3. I have attached a screenshot after adding an object mask. Also the log file after crashing.
I have some other scatterings in the same scene with bushes and gravel without problems, using splines as masking....

1.8.5 Beta problem
I just installed the beta version. Now it will not open when i click the Dash button in the interface. Is that a known problem?
Why I can't see edit materials in unreal engine
first click on the object and then the meterial editor should have appeared ????

General Feedback
My trial period for Dash is about to expire and I'm struggling to find a good reason to buy a license. I'm having so many problems with this tool that it's hard to pick one that is worse than the others. But probably the worst in my opinion is the lack of good quality documentation to help understand how these features work. There are pages, for example, just blank with no information. I tried the AI tool, but it lacks specifics and it took me six questions to get an answer to what I thought was a simple question.
Here is just one example. I wanted to use the Physics Paint tool to drop a number of utensils on a rather complex table object. But I never figured out how to do it. The first problem was that it would drop the utensils at the very top of the table. I figured it was using the simple collision, so I reset the table's collision to use complex collision for simple. That didn't help. I tried different settings and nothing helped. It kept dropping utensils and they would stop way above the table.
So I replaced the table with a simple box thinking that would do the trick. I set the scale and position of the box to match the table top and deleted the table. My next problem was that I couldn't get the brush to change size. I changed the default 1.5 down to 0.2, and in the display area the sphere shrank accordingly. But when I went to paint, it would paint at the large 1.5 size. Changing the brush size had NO effect on the painting....
License Key unknown error:
I recently bought the perpetual license, and when I use my key inside of Unreal it gives me error code 1: Data header is invalid.
Merge Actors & UDIM
I don't know exactly how the merged material is created when you merge many assets together. I've tried to merge too many of them and the look of the merged material changed dramatically (maybe merge many 4K textures into one 4K texture can lead to bad results).
But...if the merge actors tool can generate UDIM textures on the merged mesh that problem can be overcome, right?
When I do photogrammetry the software that do that usually make me choose if, on the final mesh, I want to apply a single (ex. 8K) texture or multiple UDIM texures.
In that way, with dash, we could create big new assets with very high detail starting from many small assets....
License Problems
I recently re-subscribed because of the new features, but when I'm putting in my license key (after swapping out my motherboard, reinstalling unreal engine and Dash) it gives me the error code:26, any tips on what to do in order to use what I paid for? Thanks in advance 🙌
