Landscape Area Settings - Show plant count after adding plants?

[KarynT]

I'm trying to reverse engineer a landscape area after receiving a list of plants the designer wants to place in a bed. Rather than place a group off the drawing area, I'd love to create a landscape area & populate it with the desired count of each species. As I mess about with the settings, click ok and see that it's not right. (I am probably missing understanding of how this should be done without the computer. I've watched many a video, read tutorials & it's just not sinking in on how to use the settings.)

 

Is there a way to preview a count before committing to the settings for rate & percentage? I might want to alter a setting if trying to ensure that I'll order a full tray of plugs shows I'm off.

 

Might this be considered for a wish list item if not?

Here is my practice file. You'll note that I duplicated the landscape area for the mass of the Carex while experimenting with the other plants.

Thank you!
