Power Tip: The Planting F/X for Revit Plugin

• Adjacent Plants: Overview
• Related Webinars
• Troubleshooting

Our Adjacent Plants tool allows you to select all trees and shrubs of one species and code that are located nearby each other in your design in Revit.

Adjacent Plants: Overview

Open our Adjacent Plants tool:

Planting F/X ribbon, Adjecent Plants button

Select a plant family in your design. All families of that same selected plant surrounding that are nearby in the design all be selected.

The tool will pick up trees within 2x the distance of a selected tree's spread, or within 1.5x the distance of a selected shrub's spread, allowing the selection to pick up grouping spaced slightly farther apart, like allées of trees or shrub/perennial massings.

Selecting an adjacent plant group all at once allows you to delete, move, or otherwise edit all selected plants simultaneously. Use this tool with our Copy Along or Fill with Plants tools to change the spacing of the families.
