When anyone in our office places a conceptual shrub hatch, it comes in on LP-PATT-SHAR-NPLT. We would like it to come in on a layer that is not a non-plot layer.
Is this a bug? Or is this something we can change in our preference set? I am hesitant to change LP-PATT-SHAR-NPLT to be a plotting layer because I'm not sure what else will be automatically placed on that layer, and it won't be intuitive for future users in our office to have a layer with -NPLT to be a plotting layer. If I make this a plotting layer and edit the name to not have -NPLT, will that break LandFX?
Thanks!

Katherine,
Those changes will not break anything. In fact it is so common, it is available as a checkbox on the Planting preferences tab.
But all that checkbox will do is to make those two edits for you. From editing the layer directly, you can also choose a more appropriate color.

I'm encountering the same issue & desire! Could you clarify where in the planting preferences box this check box is?
Thank you!
Thank you!
Kelly, the answer to this has actually changed since this post in 2017. The checkbox was removed.
You need to go to General Preferences, find the LP-PATT-SHAR* and LP-PATT-GRND* layers in the layer list, edit it, and change the plot checkbox and Layer name appropriately say -NPLT or not.
SHAR is for shrub areas, and GRND is for groundcovers.
LP-GRND-EDGE-NOPLT is for groundcover boundaries (the polyline - PATT is for the hatch), and LP-SHAR-BRDR is for shrub areas.
