Trying to see what marquee does...   Not able to get it to do anything (?).   I'm sure I'm doing something wrong...
I am thinking based on the title is a marquee with text or something similar but the effect controls don't have anything about text, so my guess must be offbase...

What kind of model are you putting it on?

Edit--got it to work.   Putting it on two megatrees as a "macro" not individual trees.  I kept adjusting the thickness then I got it to work.   Thanks Gil.    Should I apply it to individual trees instead of a "megatrees" macro?

It will work on a model group but you gotta understand how they work.  Did you define the group as "Minimal Size"?  If not then there is extra blank space around the outside of the actual trees so you have the make the Marquee thick enough to get past the blank space.
