Aaargh, did you not listen to anything any of us said?!
An extremely brief tutorial that worked for me:
(Uses the grass01.dbo model, provided with all versions of Age. These instructions work for other prefabs, too.)
1. Start AGE.
2. On the left-hand column, click on the + sign next to the 'grass' item.
3. Click grass1.dbo. You will see a ferny thing appear in the middle of the grid. (It's not the actual model, just a 'brush' used to create the model + preview the effect.)
3. To move the fern, click and drag.
4. When done, press 'Enter' to place a fern at that location.
(Note: Use the right-mouse button to turn around (hold & drag), or the right-mouse button + the arrow keys to move around.
WHEN YOU PLACE A (in this case) FERN, NOTE THAT THE CAMERA IS BY DEFAULT TOO FAR AWAY FOR THE RENDERING SYSTEM TO CONSIDER IT IMPORTANT.
If you zoom in, you'll see that the model *is* there just fine, just out of the camera range. Also note that the brush will stay where it is, so drag it out the way to be able to see that your lovely fern is, in fact, there.)
