This page provides information on the Chaos Scatter Edge Trimming Map, its settings and usage.
Overview
The Chaos Scatter Edge Trimming Map allows you to trim scattered instances consisting of multiple mesh elements so that they stay within the boundaries of the distribute-on objects or the include/exclude splines. In addition to making the scattering look more refined and natural, this feature also provides a performance increase - thanks to removing some of the instances, you can save RAM and make parsing time shorter.
