    Site Modeling

    After I do this, what step am I supposed to follow in the manual, Importing Source Data from an External File or Adding Source data with 2D Polygons? I tried this with a 2000 DWG file and then followed the steps for the Adding Source Data with 2D Polygons, but no polygons were found. The manual doesn't explain any of this very well. Do I have to have a 2004 DWG, b/c I have Auto CAD 2000 in the office?

    Where can I find this "Simplify 3D Polys" command, been looking but I can seem to find it.

    Site Modeling

    I've done the exploding of the Auto CAD file, imported it into VW by selecting 3D only, then went to site model & set the properties and I recieve a misc. error 20,2. Any idea what I'm doing wrong. Thank you for your help.
  4. This is my first time trying to use the site modeling application of landmark. Could someone tell me exactly what type of survey file I need to ask for from the engineers. Does this file type have a specific name that they surveyor would recognize to be able to send to me? Any other tips would be great too. Thanks for your help.
  5. I followed what you said above and my coordinates are x= -1335.093, y= -1013.151. There is nothing out there in spcae. All of my coordinates for the plants are similar to the above, which doesn't match up with the coordinates of the drawing. I think I'm beginning to pull my hair out. Any more words of wisdom would be great.
  6. I followed your instructions, and the rogue object has the same layer and type as all my other plants in the planting plan. I have since gone through my plan and deleted then re-entered all the plants that were new since this rogue object has appeared, recalculated and nothing has changed. Is there any other category that I can type into the header to narrow my search more? Thank for your help -Rebecca
  7. I'm having a slight problem with my plant list simple that hopefully someone can help me out with. I recalculated my plant list b/c I added a few new plants to my plan and about half way down the plant list I now have a row that reads: ID 0 Botanical Name Common Name Scheduled Size Notes. I don't know where the plant list is picking this up from or why. Please help. I need it gone. Operating system- MS, Landmark 11.5 -Rebecca
  8. Mike- I'm sorry but you're going to have to be more specific. Do I need to format the column where the remarks are with the correct field from the Object info pallet? I don't see any field that is for 'Remarks' in the object info pallet? What is the scheduled comments for when I define a plant? I thought that would show up in the remarks column on the plant list.
  9. Can anyone please tell me how to have information show up in the remarks column of the Plant List-Simple. I've been typing in the scheduled comments field when I define a plant in the plant catalog, not sure if this is the correct place anyway. Nothing is showing up even when I recalcualte the Plant List. Thanks for the help.
  10. I've just recently had this problem happen to me & I think I read about someone else having this same problem. Here it is, when I'm placing plants with my place plant tool the tool sometimes doesn't work when I click on it, it automatically selects the 2D selection tool (arrow). The only way I can get it to operate again is if I save my file and close VW. I'm using VW Landmark 11.01, with MS OS. Any suggestions. It never happened to me until about 2 weeks ago. Thanks for your help.
  11. Robert- I using a standard 2d symbol that is in my plant catalog.
  12. Hoping that someone could help me out with this topic. I have followed the above instructions for creating a "drift", but when I set the plant style and select no sketch and my plant style is enabled, nothing happens. If I select cloud in the plant style, the result is a drift around my overlapping grouped plants with all the plants showing, no merging is occurring. I'm using MS OS and VWL 11.01. Thanks for the help
  13. How do I do this with an already existing file?
  14. I'm using Landmark, and the problem with the standard sheets is that I can't edit the sheet titles. All the standard sheet titles (landscape plan, schematic site plan, .....) are not the standards that my ofice uses. It was suggested to me that I use the drawing border tool to be able to enter the information that I need. But that is also a problem if my firm name is running over the borders. Any help with this.
  15. I'm using a drawing border from the drawing border tools, the Drawing Border-Arch ConDoc. I would like to know how I can edit the font size and the title of the the designated areas, ie. Consultant. The problem is is that my design firm name is too long and extends past the drawing border. I'm using microsoft OS, VW 10.5. Any suggestions? Can I edit it somewhere in the program files?
  16. I'm using microsoft os, vw 10.5, and adobe acrobat distiller 5.
  17. I'm trying to plot to Acrobat Distiller to be able to send my file to the printers (they don't usually print VW files). My file is large, 19.5 MB. When I began the process of printing to Acrobat Distiller, the program says that it is printing page 1, the progress bar shows that it is about half through the process, then just sits there. I let the program run for over 30 minutes and it never finishes. Does anyone know if this is a problem due to the size of the file? I haven't had problems with small files. And also a pdf file was created with only part of the information there. Any help would be great.
  18. I was wondering if there is a way of calculating the area of a planting bed, ground cover or hardscape area? Also if you create a plant line around a polygon is it possible to calculate the amount of plants necessary to fill that area (how many plants @ 18" o.c. does the area require) and can I get this information into my plant list. Once again, thanks for your help. -Rebecca
  19. This is my first time using the plant list worksheets and I have a few questions on how to edit the worksheets. #1- How do I insert a column that would read the botanical name of the plants from the plant catalog? #2- How do I delete a column, ie. the floral color? #3- Do I need to keep the first column that reads 1, 2, 3, 3.1, and so on? Or is it possible to some how hide this column so it does not print? #4- My plant lists are always sorted by categories- perennials, annuals, shrubs, and trees. Is it possible to have the plant list sort the plants this way and how? #5- I am using the Plant List- Basic. Can I edit this header? #6- Row # 3 has a number under the ID and Qty columns, is this my total count of plants and can I not have this print or move it to the bottom of the plant list. I think that's about it for now. Thank you sooo much for your help. -Rebecca
  20. A quick question for anyone out there. I have a file that is 19.4 MB in size, and I have noticed that the larger the file has gotten the slower it is regenerating after I have moved an object or what not. I am working on a PC- Pentium 4, 1.59 GH and 512 MB of RAM. Is there anyway that I can make the regeneratting process of the drawing happen quicker, it's really slow right now.? Thanks for your help- Rebecca
  21. Can anyone out there help me with this question??? When I'm editing plant symbols in the RB and the symbol is currently placed in the drawing, are the symbols updated with the new edit? I ask because some symbols are updated while others remain as the old symbol without the updated edit. Thanks for you help. -Rebecca
  22. I would like to move some 2D tree/shrub symbols into the system folder- 2D Psyms folder to be able to access them whem using the plant catalog. I am using VW 10.0 w/ windows operating system. I was able to right click on a symbol in the resource browser and was given options of what to do with the symbol, move was one of these options. I was able to move the symbol and it was great. But now when I do the same thing with other symbols I'm not given the move option. Can anyone help me please? Thanks
  23. Can someone tell me what I can do to not have "Arch D" printed across my plans when I am using the Arch D standard sheet. I am using vw 10.5 landmark. thanks for the help.
  24. And to add to my first posting- when I make changes in the plant record or the project plant list, the changes do not occur in the plant list spread sheet that I access through vl_resources. Anything I can do about this?
