How to use VectorWorks for importing plants into your new plant database, how to filter these and check for duplicates.
Plants have been substantially improved in VW2008. This workshop shows you how easy they are to use and how easy plants are to edit.
You should be able to see how easy it is to edit plants. I found that you can duplicate plants easily and then edit them to suit the new plant that you want.
Now you can place plants, we should look at editing the plants. I have given you some and you can use these as a starting point to create all your plants.
Once you have the plants in place you can move the tag for the plant. As you develop landscape plans you will want to move all the tags so the drawing looks nice and the tags can be read easily.
Plants in VectorWorks 2008 have changed a lot. Placing plants has not changed. They are still as easy to place as they always have been. What has changed is plants are much easier to create and edit.
Plants are designed to behave differently in VectorWorks 2008. Watch this podcast to see more.
