Thank you so much! It really has come a long way and I know it will pay off in the end so thanks for all the hard work!

@Katarina Ollikainen The tool is working much better! However one thing I am noticing is that when I set up a landscape area resource in one of my files in my workgroup library, when I drag in the landscape area from the resource manager from that file, it doesn't bring the linetypes or hatches with it that I have pre-determined for the style. I'm not sure if that makes sense but essentially when I try and drag and drop the LA resource it comes in with missing attributes that have already been defined and set to "by style". Is there a way to make sure that those resources. i.e. hatches and line types come in with them? Thank you!

@TeeMuki Personally, I don't class my attributes for the Landscape Areas, I just set them for the style and be done with it. They are mostly used for schematic design so once I move into CD's I change things up. That's just my preference.

It's a lot easier if you just post a file, but the plant line is always going to be the kind of sawtooth edge. That's what the tool is in the program. Even when using the plant line tool under the "landmark" drop-down menu, you can see that is what it has always shown. There is also the plant cloud option. Remember, you have to go into graphics after you've defined your attributes to tell VWX what you want that LA to show. Again, posting a sample file will be much easier to help you.

@TeeMuki I am able to show the plant line with a hatch and then have the bed area behind it with a solid fill. See screenshot below. If you can post a sample file of your issue, I can take a look.

I figured it out. For some reason, if you use the redline tool in annotations of a viewport, the angled leader doesn't appear. If you do it directly on the drawing, it does. 🤷‍♂️

I am trying to use the redline tool and in previous versions, the leader line wouldn't be just a straight line, it had a shoulder to it and then the leader at an angle. When I move the text, it separates the leader completely from the redline itself. Am I missing a setting in the options or is this just the way it is now? See attached screenshot with yellow circle. Thanks!

@Katarina Ollikainen One other thing I've noticed is when I import my different Landscape Areas from my workgroup library. When I then use the "create objects from shapes" tool to create the landscape area and choose the right one, it doesn't come in with the attributes right away, and I have to re-select the hatch that the landscape area uses for the plant line. It's not a huge deal, but you just have to go back into "edit style" and re-assign the hatch. Again, it's not a huge deal, but it's kind of a pain. Also, after I've created one landscape area and then want to create another one with a different style when the dialogue pops up to select which LA I want to use, it still uses the attributes of the last one. You have to again go back into edit style and then back right out, and it fixes the graphics. Both are not a huge deal but just an extra step. It would be nice if when you select the LA you want to use, the attributes change with it instead of having to go back into the "edit style" dialogue. Thanks!

Thank You!

No worries!

@Pat Stanford @Tom W. Yeah it doesn't use the same options unfortunately. I tried editing the definition including the #thsep# at the end and that didn't work either. Seems like there should be a way to achieve this.

Hello and Happy New Year! I have a hardscape graphic legend that is pulling from my drawing and reporting back the area of each hardscape. It's working correctly but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the comma separator in the area value? I'm using this worksheet function: #WS_AREA##sq ft_0_1# Is there something I need to add in there to get the comma separator to show up? See attached screenshot. Thank you!

Yeah but in the Hardscape and LA tool, the instance can be the same name for two hardscapes or LA's. So say I have several hardscapes that are the same style but they are all landings within a set of stairs and I want to break those out in my worksheet as "stair landings" I can give them all that instance and then summarize them in my worksheet. Anyway, sounds like there's a way to achieve what I want. It may be as simple as grouping the two wall styles and naming it in the "name" field.

I've used symbols in the past and that works. Just trying to find a more streamlined way. Thanks!

@Tom W. Yeah I had used the "name" field at the bottom of the OIP but say I have a grouping of stairs in a certain area I want to just call them "orchard garden stairs" and you can't have each wall object named the same thing. I'll try out those other options and at the very least I can make my own record. I think it would be cool to be able to have an instance name for walls. Either that or a new "landscape stair" tool 🙂 Thanks!
