Michal Zarzecki Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Hi All, I have a large project where I have my planting scheme distributed over several drawing sheets. ATM, I have a single plant schedule, but I would like to create partial schedules for each sheet, showing only the plants within the given drawing extent. I can't seem to get my head around how to achieve that. I tried adding a Record to all Plants and Landscape Areas with the drawing/ area/ phase ID and use it in the schedule criteria definition to filter the plants. Unfortunately, I managed to get it work only for the Plant instances but not for plants within Landscape Areas. Any ideas or advice how to achieve what I am describing above would be very helpful.

Jeff Prince Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) The easy (and reliable)way…. Put the plants for a given sheet on a separate design layer and use that as the criteria. Edited August 11, 2022 by jeff prince 3 Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Actually, I THINK that you can edit the criteria on a plant schedule and use the Sheet Layer as part of the criteria to only get the plants that are showing in viewports on that sheet layer. I don't use plants enough to have a good file to test. 2 Quote Link to comment
Anders Blomberg Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 @Michal Zarzecki You could also draw shapes, such as polylines, around the different beds, name them, and then use them as "location" criteria in the worksheets. I recently did this to separate out quantity take-offs per property in a project, see below. Very handy, trick learnt from @JMR here. 2 Quote Link to comment

I don't use plants enough to have a good file to test. That is interesting. Definitely sounds sensible. @Anders Blomberg, that's crazy! I wouldn't have thought of that. Initially i was trying to use selection, but it didn't work in VW. Drawing a boundary is basically the same, but it is a more permanent and - I imagine - robust approach. I will give all the ideas above a go. many thanks, gents 🙏 2 Quote Link to comment
