until there are some fixes I'm designing in 2 and copying it over. Just not worth the headache at the moment.
I've thought about laying in just a rough fairway in 2, copying the file, then using the new splines. *shrug* not sure...but I'm not using the 2019 designer exclusively until things are better.

Not very impressed with the 2019 designer. Spent quite a few hours in it today and I'm just not sure what to think of it. They have some really cool features but yet they took a lot of good stuff away that IMO is very essential that you have if your using the designer. That video Jeremy showed of Canuck's shows just how frustrating it is. Another thing is that if you raise or lower anything with the brushes, it now doesn't set itself back to zero so you really need to pay attention to that. Also, the splines do not shrink down whenever you zoom the camera closer to the surface...hate that. Hopefully HB will listen to the complaints (doubtful) and patch the designer sometime down the road. For now I feel that designing in TGC 2 and just porting over your layouts and then using 2019 for maybe the planting and such might be the best option. This is just my opinion of course and others may love the new designer. It really took a lot of my enthusiasm away from designing courses.

the reset is a bug they know about griz. Paul is for sure working on that one I know.

I prefer the new designer. The auto fill splines are such a time saver, advanced editing is easier, multi plant trees and rocks I'm happy with.
The sculpt brushes not resetting is a bit of a pain, but I've learned to press L3 and readjust the size when I want to.

Anybody know where the course designs are stored on a PC. You used to find them in (app data) - (local low) - (hb studios). There is no folder for TGC2019 in that file. My son and I used to send our course designs by email to each other to play before the courses got posted, is that option no longer available.
This was also how you used to share data if you were designing with a partner.

The sculpt brushes not resetting is a bit of a pain, but I've learned to press L3 and readjust the size when I want to. I actually agree with this. Splines IMO are a major step forward from TGC2 and, on the whole, make the designer better. But I also think what Andre put in his video is spot on. Fix the three things he pointed out (especially scalloped light rough & click-n-drag functionality) and the designer is head and shoulders better than the first two iterations. Until then, there are going to be pros and cons, and console guys don’t have the luxury the PC guys do, being able to move the course file back and forth between versions of the designer to get the best of both worlds, so to speak.

Yep I agree the splines make it so much easier with the autofill and secondary surfaces. I like to lay the bunkers first then shape the fairway around them, so with the splines you can move the fairway without worrying about kinks or adding more light rough. I've been redoing my current WIP so I'm just marking out my fairway then deleting all current surfaces except greens and bunkers, then splining the fairway and heavy rough back down. But the click and drag not working the same as TGC 2 makes sculpting a bit more of a drag.

Anyone know if HB is aware of, has acknowledged, and/or has announced any plans to address the giant tree issue when porting Boreal courses? It would be nice to know if this can be fixed before I undertake replanting Magnolia, Pinehurst, and Merion East.

They are definitely aware, but I don't recall seeing Paul commit to any kind of a fix.

I imported Sister Bay last night, and I can barely see the fairway from the tees due to giant trees in the way. I'm wondering if it's because I resized those trees to make them bigger in TGC2 originally.

I'm wondering if it's because I resized those trees to make them bigger in TGC2 originally. From what I pieced together from various threads I've seen, my hypothesis is that they removed Spruce trees (haven't fully investigated to confirm but someone said they did), and the trees they put in the Spruce slots weren't scaled properly, so anywhere a Spruce exists in TGC2 a huge pine now exists. This may be wrong, but so far I've clearly seen that at least one of the massive trees in my ported courses is a tree I've never seen in TGC2.

What were they thinking when they put in a "Heavy Rough Roll" adjustment slider but not one for the greens? Did not one single person at HB think this was ridiculous. And I don't even know where to start with the bunker issues.
