Placing Plants

Open the Plants category in Add Objects and use the plant library/browser entry. Search by common or scientific name, inspect the detail page, then choose Place in Garden. Alternatively select one of the generic plant forms to place without a catalog species.

Move the pointer to the intended position and click to place a plant. Continue clicking for more instances. The active layer must allow insertion; a locked or hidden layer can prevent placement. Check the drawing after each placement when precise counts matter.

In the plant Tool Guide, edit Name, Scientific Name and Position as needed. Commit Position with Enter, Tab or by leaving the field to pin the placement coordinate, then click Apply to place a plant there. Editing the coordinate alone is not the same as placing a plant. Measurement input follows the project settings and accepts explicit units.

Press Escape, double-click to finish, or switch to Select when no more instances are needed. Plants already placed remain in the drawing. Apply places an instance; it is not a command to finish the placement session.

Select a plant and use Height and Spread in the Inspector for its physical dimensions. A value can be limited to the supported size range for the selected plant form; check any adjustment notice. Use Edit style… for the appearance dialog, where editor symbols and photorealistic appearance have separate pages.
