What layers for 3D stuff in site models?

Have a couple of questions for building site models in Landmark....

Should I put the site modifiers on the DTM, or use a different layer? Seems as if when I click on any portion of the DTM, it selects the entire DTM when site modifiers are there, so I can't edit them. Also, from time to time, I move the entire DTM and not just what I am trying to!

Do plants, hardscapes and landscaper areas require being sent to the DTM surface, or do they "know" to get there?

It seems to me I get different results with single plants and the poly draw/insert planting tool.

Lastly, should site modifiers be poly lines or polygons? I have heard it both ways from experts. And, when I use poly beziers, even if my line shows only 5-6 vertices, I see many more connection points on the underlying TIN network when the model is built. Sometimes, my bezier lines get far too many points, so I have been converting to polygons and simplifying, but its an extra step.

Thanks to anyone who knows these answers.

Lastly, what is the meaning of life? :grin:
