    Editing Plant Data in Worksheet

    in Site Design

    Posted

    My worksheet shows a plant that was not selected and placed on the drawing. I show 3 Live Oaks which I didn't place. Therefore, I can't seem to delete the item from the worksheet which seems locked for database editing directly AND I can't select the item in the drawing to delete it from the Object Info palette. What do I do to get it off my worksheet?

    I tried to open "edit plant' under AEC but continue to get this message "Error: Name Conflict--You must rename or delete existing object named 'Plant Record'. But I cannot find any objects with this checked. I did find one that I used a symbol for a tree, but I unchecked the box entitled 'Plant Record' under it's data secion in the object info palette. Yet I still can't get into 'edit plants'

    Worksheet without placing plants

    This may seem like an odd question, but is there any way to create a worksheet using chosen plants without actually going through the action of placing the plants on the drawing? Sometimes I have been hand-drawing my plants after creating a siteplant on Vectorworks. I can do this very fast so it saves me alot of time. BUT, I have customized my Plant database with 'comments' that include maintenance. I would like to use that as a database and print that out on a separate sheet as a worksheet. Can that be done without going thru the action of placing plants so they show up on a worksheet? If so, could I manually fill in the quantity?

    Converting plant symbols from 9.5 to 10.5

    How can I add my 9.5 custom plant symbols to a 10.5 favorites file for easy access? Or better yet, just put it in the 10.5 symbols list?

    Also, I have just recently been having the problem with VW10.5 quitting unexpectedly every 20 minutes or so. It has been better since I changed the save function to every 5 operations instead of every 5 minutes.

    I have Mac OS 10 Jaguar

    "You can change the default value of any plug-in using the Parameters button of the VectorScript Plug-in Editor command on the Organize menu."

    Wow, I think I need some help with that. Under the Organize menu, under Scripts, under "Create Plug in"? Then what do I do? How do I recognize which named plug-in includes the link lines for multiple plant placement? Seems complicated.

    Thanks Robert. I was able to edit the worksheet just fine. The fields seem to be consistently too short so I need to lengthen them for the comments and sometimes the name.

    I still don't understand why the height and width field doesn't fill in in the Define Plant box after choosing the Plant data button. My PRD was a custom import from VW 9.5. Could this be the problem? I played with the import several times because at first many fields didn't transfer. But I think I got it as right as possible; and the ht/width fields are now filled in properly.

    Also, is there a way to universally set the look when placing multiple plants? I don't want connecting lines on multiple plant placements and it seems I can only do this after the fact in the OB. In VW9 this could be defined before plant placement.

    I have been unable to have the comments field show up on my Plant List. When I select plants for the Plant Catalog, neither the comments field nor the plant ht/width shows up. Is there a way I can have these entered in automatically rather than manually? I want to use the comments field in the PRD for maintenance tips for the client and I don't want to enter it each time for every job. I'd like to just store all the info in the PRD and have it tranfer to the Plant Catalog.

    Also, I don't understand why the height/width fields don't fill in either.

    Also, is there a way that only the selected symbols used in the Plant Catalog show up in the Place plant tool? It is a pain to scroll thru unused symbols looking for your symbol.

    In addition, is there a way that I can have certain symbols always attached to certain plants, thereby avoiding that extra step for the next job?
