  There is but you have to do some fiddling with text files. There is a whole thread dedicated to doing this in the Commercial Products forum:

  Alienator Pro does make it easier but as AllenArt said it can be done by editing the text files.

  I've bought it myself but I've been in it up to my neck with year end updates on my employer's server, for the last few days, so I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. 

  As I understand it, it enables you to create your own custom ecologies using parts of existing ecologies or other plants and trees in your runtime.  

  Cheers,

  No, it does not eliminate the need to edit JSON files with a text editor, to use your own props. If you open an existing ecology JSON file in a text editor and copy the code for a single layer into a new file, you can edit the propset section to use the props you choose. Save your edit and use it as a custom layer in the toolbox to add that layer to any ecology. If you just want to change the props in a single UltraScene, rather than build a reusable ecology, Alienator Pro is easier and does not require any JSON file editing.

  Thanks a lot for clarifying the things!
