    Existing Tree Tool

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi all
    We in OZ operate from an Australian Standard - AS 4970 Protection of Trees on Developments Site
     

    It has a formula to calculate Structural Root Zone which is when you measure across the base of the tree
    The standard says ...
    An indicative SRZ radius can be determined from the trunk diameter measured immediately above the root buttress using the following formula.
    This is called Diameter at Buttress (DAB)

    SRZ radius = (D × 50) to the power of 0.42 × 0.64

    Where the D is in metres
    I have built an app to collect data on site but we use millimetres not metres
    Does anyone know how to convert that formula so that for D is in mm instead of metres

    I thought about it and came up with ...
    If DAB is 500 mm
    (500 * .05) ^ .42 * 640 and that works
    I checked it with DAB = 200, 300 and 400 and they all work also
    But is my formula correct?

    Existing Tree Tool (ETT) data connection to Excel

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi all
    Am not in here very often but once was very active
    We are a landscape design, landscape architecture and consulting arborist company in Melbourne Australia and have 3 VW LM licenses and use the ETT a lot
    Some years ago I built a web form - Gravity Forms on Wordpress to collect tree data on site for the ETT
    I did not pursue it as then I thought what happens if you do not have a good internet connection and decided to wait
    Since it seems there are a few companies where you can build forms to do such things that will work on both IOS and Android devices that do not need an internet connection
    I would like to be able to collect tree data on site, export to excel; if that is the way to go and import that data into VW to populate the ETT 
    We have strict criteria within it we use manually right now so the fields etc are not the issue
    What I would like to know?
    Is it possible to pull such data into the ETT?
    Is excel ok to use?
    And how does one achieve that?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Existing Tree Tool User Data

    in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests

    Posted · Edited by Ozzie
    Typo

    Hi all
    When using the Existing Tree Tool as a local stand alone user we can have our own defined "library" of trees that live in a text file on Windows at ...
    Exisiting Tree being the text file
    C:\Users\PC-User\AppData\Roaming\Nemetschek\Vectorworks\2023\Libraries\Defaults\Existing Tree
    If we in Vectorworks Preferences set up Workgroup and Project folders with say Dropbox or in our case Office 365 and put the Existing Tree text file there in the correct location it does not work meaning each user has to use the C:\Users\PC-User\AppData\Roaming\Nemetschek\Vectorworks\2023\Libraries\Defaults\Existing Tree locations which also means if a user enters a new tree it cannot easily be shared with other users
    Therefore the Wish Request is to be able to have our own Existing Tree data to be able to be stored in Workgroup and Project Folders so we can all add new trees as we need to

    Existing Tree Tool Custom Drop Downs

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi all
    In the OIP of the Existing Tree Tool we have an ability to use Additional Fields
    If I have an Additional Field of say "Retention Value" with different values like "High" "Moderate" "Low" etc that we use and manually enter
    Is it possible to have those values as drop downs coming from say a Record or something else??
    Not been here for long time but thanks in advance!!
