AI treat object like forest

[Pilot]

I am working on a collection of grave plots for a Najaf City island, and I have run into a problem.  I want the AI to treat the graves like a forest, ie, they will move in and out and between the plots freely.  Right now the AI is keen on trekking around the graves instead of going through them.  For the life of me I can't figure out how to make the AI believe the graves are forests.  I have added a Named Property to the geo lod as the following:
class
Forest

I have made a paths lod for the graves, I have defined the graves in the config.cpp file as forests, and I have even given each grave plot model a prefix of "les_".  None of these attempts have worked.  Is there something obvious I have missed?

Thanks for any help.

i think that a path lod alone is not enough. i guess you need to name the knots, like in brsseb's tuto for a house.
unpbo the BIS forests and you'll see that almost all point in the forest are named intX or posX with X standing for a number.

I have done that.  However, I have never made a path lod before, so chances are good I screwed it up somewhere.  Would it help if I posted one of the plots here for you/anyone to look at?

Hi Pilot,

maybe have a look into this thread http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?s=e7284008d7b1ad074915c239185ef1f3;act=ST;f=48;t=51195 at BIS forum, where i made a
graphical example for Gnat, how to set up a propper ai pathlod.

Just in advance - you'll need lot's of In points and at least one pos point to get it to work.

Hi Chris Death!

Thanks for the reply.  The picture you posted looks very close to what I ended up with.  After OFPEC went down I did a lot of experimenting and looking at BIS's forests.  After some frustrating nights trying to get this to work, I added quite a few more IN points and some more POS points and everything seems to work OK.

EDIT:
Hmmm, although I do see something I might have done wrong.  I think I have a few faces that serve more than one point.  Might have to fix that...
