Simplifying a planting plan for construction documentation

[Marcus bLD]

Hi,

I've created a "nice" visual planting plan for my client using 2d/3d symbols, that naturally aims to look the part and give the client a strong visual interpretation of their new garden.

My question now is; I want to simplify these plants so they are more just black and white outlines that make it easy for a contractor to read when it comes time to planting them.

Is there a workaround for this, or do I have to re-draw/majorly edit each plant to do this?

Thanks

Have you done the Landmark classes on Vectorworks University?

There is a solution for this. You can turn off the class for the linework, colour fill, but leave the outlines on. Ideally, you should create your library with a series of classes that will allow you to quickly change from the graphic design to the technical plan without any redrawing.

Thanks Jonathan, I will look further into that.. I've watched about 50 of your videos over the last few days.. very helpful coming from 2d drawing in Autocad!

Cheers
