Unable to Add Plants to the Plant Manager in the Planting F/X Plugin for Revit®

Issue

You tried to add a new plant to the Plant Manager in Revit, but nothing appeared in the list of plants for your Planting F/X project.

Cause

Our Planting F/X project list is tied to the project number in your Revit file's Project Information.

 

Revit itself uses projects 0, 1, and 2 for internal system projects, which causes an issue if you try to create a project in the Planting F/X Project List with the same number (or 00, 01, 000, 001, etc).

Solution

Choose a different organization system for your project numbers when creating a Planting F/X project to c. Project numbers can be alphanumeric, such as TEST-01.

Many firms use one of the following suggested systems:

• By year (e.g., 2024-001, 2027-025)
• By office location (e.g., T-4559672 for the Tampa, Florida, office, SLO-37234 for the San Luis Obispo, California, office, etc.)
• By project type (e.g., R-003 for Residential, CO-3492 for Commercial)
• By client name (e.g., SMI-001 for Smith Residence)
• For students with a free academic license, by your initials (e.g., ADM-001 for Amanda Marin's first project)
