• Troubleshooting

If you need to fill up a floor or toposolid/sub-division with plants, use our Planting F/X Fill with Plants tool. You can fill in a rectangular or triangular array (Natural Spacing coming soon).

Fill With Plants: Overview

Open our Fill With Plants tool:

Planting F/X ribbon, Fill With Plants button

Or:

 

Plant Manager, Fill button

If using the Fill with Plants button on the ribbon, select a tree or shrub family you've already placed.

If using the Fill button in the Plant Manager, select the species in the Manager and click the Fill button.

Select a floor or toposolid/sub-division in the model.

The Fill with Plants dialog box will open.

 

Select Rectangular for a rectangular array, or Triangular for a triangular array.

 

The Spacing between Plants value will default to the same size as the symbol width currently assigned to the selected plant in the Plant Info dialog box. You can change this value here as needed.

 

The spacing will be set in feet in an Imperial model, or in meters in a metric model.

 

Click OK when finished.

Coming soon: Natural Spacing - a more realistic arrangement of plants.

The plant family will fill the extents of the selected floor or toposolid/sub-division at the chosen array pattern.

Delete or move any overhanging plants as needed.
