How do I create new plant symbol (elevation)

[wyldscape]

Hi guys, new to Vectorworks, I have loaded all the library plants which there are a fair few but no Melaleuca's. So I wanted to create my own, I grabbed a photo cut it out in photoshop and created a .png file to retain transparency.

this is how it came out.

ANy suggestions, I want it to just be like the Xfrog ones from Vectorworks

Cheers,

Wyld

Create a new Image Prop. Use the Image you edited. See more in the Help. I think you will be pleased.

My button is greyed out, why is this??

Image props require Renderworks.

bcd is correct. Sorry if I got you excited over nothing. I (incorrectly) assumed that you had RW's since you had the Xfrog Plants.

Ok, thats unfortunate, I have LANDMARK, so I guess that doesn't just come with that plug in..

I just followed the tutorial on loading all the plants from the Vectorworks > Libraries > Objects.Landscape & Site > Xfrog

Anyway it seems that I can just create a Jpeg and it automatically takes the transparency from it (after cutting it out in photoshop) I guess this will have to do.

I'll do some research into Renderworks

Thanks for your help...
