Problem with Plant Catalog

[laycockandjaquet]

After creating some plant definitions in Edit Plant Catalog (using the 'New' button, I discovered that the Plant Record attached to all the new definitions I created have somehow picked up the Norway Maple tree although I never chose this in anyway.

The Plant Records have the correct heights, spreads, botanical names, etc. I typed in in Edit Catalog but then have the characteristics, (eg. flower, foliage, habut, etc) of the Norway Maple (which I don't want!).

So everytime I insert (different) plants I've just defined, it shows the information about the Norway Maple in the Plant Record.

How do I fix this problem without having to define the plants all over again and will it happen again?

I have not seen this bug before. How did you type in these values? The usual procedure is to use the "plant data" button. Did you not do that?

No we did not use the "plant data" button as we found that a bit restrictive. It is not possible to choose anything other than the pull-down selections, eg. it is not possible to define a plant "Tufting Plant" instead of "Ornamental Grass" or to change the heights and spreads. Something to add for the next version?

Back to the initial problem, I really don't know how all the plants we have defined have picked up the "Norway Spruce" plant records.

You should use the "Plant Data" button, as it manages the (ahem) plant data. There is a way to cusomize the plant categories if you are on a Mac or have a Mac available to you for resource editing. If you want to do this, email me at randerson@nemetschek.net
