Started the tutorials last night. I get to using CF's first tool (measurement), and click on the Perfect Parallel option at the top, click on  Courseforge On, and I get the message "Can't find terrain. Shutting down Courseforge.". I'd already noticed that the scene window was just the grey grid, rather than the forested green in the tutorial.
HELP!

 

UPDATE:  Got it working now. Had to hit Course 1 under Standard Assets in the project window.

Double click on the current scene name in the Project window.  For the opening project it's called course1.  You have to do this every time you switch projects in Unity.  Then start CF.

Thanks Crow.

Well just went to start a new project (because the last 3 have crapped out), referred to this post, found course 1 (which is harder than it should be considering its skipped in the otherwise excellent tutorials), double clicked on it, and I still can't find the land plot. Rather distressing, and a bit of a buzz kill (hard to go any further). Any ideas?

 

Update: you have to open it in the Inspector window. Works now. Might want to fix the tutorial, I'm sure others are facing the same frustration. It's a shame CF and Unity are sooo un-user friendly. Oh that's right, this way only the "most determined" 2% will be willing to go through it, and we'll only have courses from the elite who are willing to put up with it. Not that we couldn't pick out the good courses from the "early efforts" (when I heard this argument I realized I'm not as much of an elitist as...well).

Double click on human height or terrain in the hierarchy window.
