Building a really long fairway for a par 5, about 300 yards. Just rendered all my splines and the only one not to show is that fairway. Can a spline be too long? Spline on far left in pic

Can't see the attachment.  Did you get an error?  when I built a different spline too big I got a vertices error.  YOu can also butt two spline of the same time up against each other with no error.

No error...only 14 splines so far, just the one didn't build. Its on the edge of the map and I haven't established an OB yet, let me see if I can attach it again.

 

EDIT- File is too big, I'll attach it again later tonight when I resize.

If you aren't getting the too many vertices error, it's probably the shape of it. Too skinny or an area that contains too sharp of an angle. Try and round the shape a bit in spots that seem constricted and then refresh the spline.

***Are you using a custom layers library??

Sometimes it happens if you are using a custom layers library and the mesh creation box goes blank for the layer type you are trying to draw. It should say "Grid Fill" in the drop-down. That's the last row in the first column of the layers library.

Sorry for the delay. Just too many points I think. Remade the fairway and deleted half the points, everything works now
