Tree won't rotate

I've exported a 2d tree into the sim, with the TrainUprightViewFacingFlora.fx shader, and yet it fails to rotate at all. I checked a file of a Kuju 2d tree which has the shader and works fine, and I couldn't find any real difference with the exported file.
What could I be doing wrong with this file? I'm using 3d Canvas 7.0.2.

I'm not an expert in scenery, but I believe there is something in one of the bins that has to be set to always facing the driver.
It's been awhile since I looked so I don't remember exactly where a person finds this.
I would assume the 2D object in question would also have to have a designated "front" for that to work.
This might be the setting in the bin.
<RotateEndGeometry d:type="cDeltaString">eTrue</RotateEndGeometry>
If you have Donner Pass this is a 2D hedge bin you can check out for guidance.

Hmmm, but, it's 2D, you can't rotate it because it doesn't have a side view like a 3D shape, all you get is a front and a back and that's what you see and it follows you round with the camera, it isn't a static object it moves in symmetry, a 3D will remain static and you can go round it in 360 degrees by default.

That's just it, he can't get it to rotate with the camera view.

This might help you (;

He said in his first post, that he was using that shader...
