  3. Hi,
    Just a doubt, did you reset the xform for the model?, it is the very important step.

  4. yup. i have done this step.
    i have some boxes in my scene. i converted them in to polygon mode then reset xform and then again convert them in to polygon mode. then i took a empty flow and birth script, edit the script change name then save it. it saved properly but pflow doesn't took boxes as particle. it generates its own particle..

  5. HI Manish
    going thourgh your scene file you probably have done some mistake. like all your models are not center to pivot, so align the pivot to the center of the object and reset xform and convert to poly.

    Still you will find your scene wont be working, because you have create the messy script.
    Under the birth script in your scene, if you scroll down, you forgot to delete extra default script that comes with birth script, you need to delete that too. now once again delete everything in the script and paste your birth script.

    Now , this will work for sure.
    All the best.
