At present it seems I can only allocate one species of plant to any area unless I place the plants individually. Often I want to repeat a matrix of large and small plants and ground covers across vast areas. This is common in meadow-style and waterway plantings for example.
It would be great to be able to define a group of plants that fit into a certain square measurement, and then be able to place that group in the same way that shrub areas are currently placed. It seems 'Group Areas' is as good a name as any.
E.g I want to use a mix of 3 species per square metre: 2 of plant A, 4 of plant B and 4 of plant C. If I could define this group and then place it as an area, the schedule would extract total square metrage of the group, and show below the title the total number of each species placed in that Group Area.
The Group Area could have a detail plan associated with it that shows the setout of these species in their prescribed metrage.
Annotation would refer to the group title, and possibly list the plants and their quantities as well.
