ChrissieB Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hello I've just moved from VW2016 to 2021 and am struggling to get to grips with some aspects of the plant tool. I want to create my own 2D plant styles for planting plans and specific plants. I've worked out how to create a new one from an object e.g. a circle ok but if I then try and duplicate it the scaling goes completely off. I get the same problem if I try to duplicate one of the existing plant styles. The new plant appears 1/10th the size of the one it is copied/duplicated from?! This happens even if I don't change any of the parameters e.g. just duplicate it with another name so I cant see what I'm doing wrong? Help!! Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee bgoff Posted March 9, 2021 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted March 9, 2021 could you load a sample file and I could take a look. Just 2-3 plants in a blank file would suffice. Quote Link to comment
ChrissieB Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hi bgoff, thanks for responding. I ended up deleting the file and starting again afresh and it’s working fine now. I obviously set a parameter wrong somewhere, but it’s working now I’m not going to worry about it 🤣 Am loving VW 2021 but it’s a bit of a leap in some areas from 2016, I’m sure I will get there eventually... Thanks again for the offer Quote Link to comment
Edgar RAMEL Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Hello @ChrissieB, The behavior you describe reminded me of a concern I had as well. Strangely small plant styles when all their standard settings were with large sizes... And today, the problem is recurring in my home as well 🤔 ... I didn't understand what was happening to me and thought about your post. I may have understood what was going on for you. Because on my end, it was just the plant tool insertion options I had set to size a plant to 0.30m that applied. Then to all the symbols that I inserted without taking into account the default settings of the new inserted plant ... I hope this may have explained the strange behavior you have noticed? Have a nice day. Best regards. Edgar Quote Link to comment
ChrissieB Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 hello @Edgar RAMEL Thanks for taking time to reply. If it happens again, I will make sure I check that carefully. Fingers crossed all going smoothly now. Quote Link to comment
