Christian Fekete Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Can someone explain how to drop down a tree on the terrain surface from the layer plane? Thank you CF Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I think the term you are looking for is "Send to Surface" Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Katarina Ollikainen Posted February 21, 2023 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 21, 2023 Plants are automatically placed on the site model surface - you shouldn’t give it a z value. Work in Top plan view and place the trees on the site model - that’s it 😊 2 Quote Link to comment
Christian Fekete Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 Send to surface may be the correct command since I use a 3D model for the site and not a site drawn from contours. Where can i find the command to send to surface? FYI I already dragged those from the side views, just inquiring for the sake of concluding this thread for others to benefit from. Than you CF Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Katarina Ollikainen Posted February 21, 2023 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 21, 2023 Ah, so you're not using a site model at all? The send to surface is a command specifically made for sending things to the site model. You can only use it for sending things to the Site model, Hardscape surfaces and Landscape areas. You can't use it to send to a generic 3D object. The command is Landmark > Send to Surface. 1 Quote Link to comment
