Thank you both for your input. Jeff had the answer to the specific question I was looking for. Dead easy. Don't know how I missed it.

I would like to be able to search for all occurrences of one of my own plant symbols in a design in Landmark 2023 (Mac). Of course I have many plants and many occurrences of the same plant in a design. I know how to get a report of numbers of each plant but not how to find any or all instances of a particular plant. Is this possible and, if so, how is that done. Thanks for any help.

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks to both of you for your input. I have fixed this issue. I have another question but I will start a new thread so its less confusing.

I'm still figuring out Landmark. I have been creating lots of symbols from my own plant data using stock 2D symbols from the Vectorworks library. Some seem to have a white fill, others do not. Some of those that are filled can be easily edited to fill=none in the Plant symbol panel either from my symbol library or for the instance in the design. Others cannot be changed using either of those approaches or by attempting to edit the class fill, even when that shows fill=none, the object remains filled. I would like them to be transparent. I have notice that those that can't be changed have the fill in the attributes panel set at Class Style. That can be changed to None but the object remains filled. What am I missing or doing wrong? I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Jeff, thanks so much. Fantastic! I have no idea how to discover that. I searched in the Resource Manager, saw two occurrences of that Tile and managed to delete one. That did the job indeed. We didn't use that resource so I presume it came in with the original base design. I presume if you could have explained your approach simply, you would have so I'll thank you and leave it at that. Sounds like it is not a common problem so hopefully I won't be bothering you with more of that anytime soon. Thanks again, Curt

Hi Jeff, I really appreciate your response. My problem is that being so inexperienced with CAD and Vectorworks, I have no idea what to look for in terms of configuration or oddities. I'm happy to share the file for you to look at (see attached). I am just using the default export options. Please forgive any amateurish mistakes, of which their must be plenty. The DWG originated in AutoCad and then was modified in Dynascape. If you have the time I appreciate any effort you expend on it. If you see any likely issues, please share your insights. Thanks, Curt Herbst-Knott Residence w-Trees and Shrubs.vwx

Hello all, I am several months into working with Vectorworks Landmark 2022. I have just completed a first 2D landscape design on an imported DWG base plan. Everything has gone well and I have recently developed 4 sheets with a variety of viewports and imported an imported spread sheet. When I went to export or publish the viewports, only two of the 4 exported successfully as PDFs. The other two froze and crashed my iMac. I ended up printing them to PDFs instead of exporting or publishing them. Now I am to the stage of exporting a DWG for the Architect to use to finalize the plan. I cannot export in any of several formats I have tried (DWG, DWF, PDF, etc.). It always freezes at an object very late in the process (somewhere around 7720 of 7760 objects. The program crashes and has to be force quit. I have let it sit for an hour with no resolution. I can export another simpler drawing I am used as a tutorial. It was an imported DWG that I modified as well. I am working in OS 12.4 Monterey on a late 2015 iMac with plenty of RAM but just standard vRAM. I have also tried the process using the same file on a more recent M1 iMac running Monterey and has the same experience.Any help with this is welcome. Deadlines are approaching.

Just a quick follow up... I am running the Mac version of Landmark.

I am new to Vectorworks. I have imported new plant data into the plant list and have tried to create a plant database using the "Create Vectorworks Plant Database" command in the Vectorworks Plants plugin. Every time I use that command, regardless of which plants or how many plants I get an error saying ""XXX.txt" could not be created on this disk. Use a different name, make more room on the disk, unlock it or use a different disk." I have tried different names including the standard name "Plant Database" to no avail. I also have saved numerous other files using export and save a copy commands etc and have no problem. The disk has plenty of space. It seems to me I should be able to save a catalog based upon the manual and other discussion. Any help on this? Thanks in advance.
