Creating a Plant Line

The Plant Line command creates a freehand plant line along a line, polyline, or polygon. It can be used to represent a single plant, line of plants, or general plant mass.

To create a plant line:

1.	Select the object (line, polyline, or polygon) with the 2D Selection tool.

2.	Select Landmark > Plant Line.

The Plant Line dialog box opens. Suggested values are based on the selection’s perimeter.

 

Parameter	Description
Segment Length	Maximum length of each plant line segment; longer segments create a rougher plant line appearance
Thickness	Maximum perpendicular distance of each segment; a higher thickness value results in a rougher plant line appearance
Corner Types	Specifies the type of corner to create between segments; each type produces a different plant line effect
Delete original	Select to remove the object that forms the basis of the plant line

3.	Select the desired plant line parameters and click OK. The plant line is created. If desired, apply colors, textures, and other attributes to the plant line with the Attributes palette.
