Do you mean the rock object?  If so, this is default behavior.

[Cub]

On previous versions once you create a rock and enlage it , it has always been visible in the preview , now the scene has to be rendered

can someone confirm pls


Regards

Yes Cub in previous versions this was the case but this changed in the current beta version. Previous to the beta version the rock object wasn't really usable. Even now you can't displace it very easily so it's hard to make it good, unless you want to use it to create cool special effects like other people in the forums have

I know rocks are a pain 

so whats the benefit of having rocks if yer can't see erm till render time ?

is there no fix ?

Use the fake stone shader. It's far more realistic for rocks than the actual rock, which is, I find, better at making other things, like spaceships or Kevin's potatoes!

You can set where the fake stones are visible by using any other conventional method of distribution, and no waiting on a populator that way either.
