Short description of error
Confusing crown group error.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Make a crown group and and move it to a non-visible layer. Try to use the crown group in the Tree Generator add-on toolbar, and it will give a confusing error difficult for end users to understand.

Request using a simple check to see if the crown group is on same layer and telling user "All layers with selected crown group need to be visible" if not.

Thank you for reading.

Is this the error you are getting?

pointInsideMesh line 94:
'SummerLeaf' has no mesh data to be used for ray casting

Here it is. Just a FYI rather than a full "bug".

So it's the ray_cast() method and I believe it is caused by object being in edit mode - there's no data for raycasting in that mode.
