DigReal I think my new rule of thumb is "blur is my friend". The exact point where black and white meet allows for the center of a large object to be placed to the absolute of either color value. With a gray or blurred strip, this represents a "No go" zone. With the right filter settings the EcoSytem places objects objects once the color is absolute white again. At least that's the way I interpret the results. I think if you scale your objects dramaticaly you could end up with a hug boulder crossing the walkway.

Yes the gausian blur is a key part for the distribution map. With the right filter settings there are no objects crossing. For that tree, you may need a greater area of blur or dark gray to remove it. Your right it does matter what scale you are using. I don't think it's a bug. You just have to plan the distribution map to manage that scale of tree better. Wish you luck
