<desc>If <code>true</code>, placement will not ensure that objects are in solid material. This is needed e.g. when placing objects in liquids.</desc>

</syntax>
<desc>Creates the specified number of objects in the specified target rectangle and target material (optional). Returns the number of iterations or -1 if creation has failed.</desc>
<remark>If there is only very little of the target material present in the landscape, placement calculation will take longer.<br/>However, endless retry loops are avoided.</remark>
<examples>
<example>
<code>PlaceObjects(Loam,20,"Earth",100,0,200)</code>
<text>Create 20 chunks of loam in earth within the coordinates 100,0 and 200,LandscapeHeight().</text>
</example>
<example>
<code>PlaceObjects(Fish,10,"GBackLiquid",0,0,0,<funclink>LandscapeHeight</funclink>()/2,0,1);</code>
<text>Creates a total of 10 fishes in all liquids found in the upper half of the landscape.</text>
