Calculating Area


JMTLA

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if there is a way of calculating the area of a planting bed, ground cover or hardscape area? Also if you create a plant line around a polygon is it possible to calculate the amount of plants necessary to fill that area (how many plants @ 18" o.c. does the area require) and can I get this information into my plant list.

Once again, thanks for your help.

In VWL 10, the area of a planting bed can be set to display as part of the plant tag. If you insert a plant in rectangular or triangular array, it will automatically calculate the number of plants required to fill the area. See pages 115-118 of the online VectorWorks Landmark 10.5 documentation.
