isabelle Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Hi! New to Vectorworks. I'm looking to create a living roof and was wondering if there was anyway to rotate landscape areas vertically. I want to make the angle of the landscaping area match the angle of the roof (its a shed roof.) [I'm a high school student and using the educational version if that changes anything.] Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 An interesting question. Not as you intend, not as far as I know. Perhaps with Design Layer Viewports. But you can place one plant vertically above another. Look at the 3d coordinates of 2 plants, make the x and y the same, changing the z. Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 One thing you could do is create a site model of the roof: Then create the Landscape Area on the site model: Then delete the site model: 1 Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) My mistake, of course Tom's right. I completely misunderstood the question. I was thinking of this (by Fábio Fernandes). Although even here you coud create a really steep DTM and plant a bunch of plants on it, select them all and Send to Surface. Edited November 10, 2021 by bcd Quote Link to comment

One Quick Question (Of course you're not obligated to answer, though): I'm having trouble creating the site model - I get as far as creating the polygon, and then upon requesting the site model's creation, vectorworks tells me that I need a polygon to create a site model (despite the fact I am using a polygon.) Any advice? Thank you so much in advance. Quote Link to comment
