WHERE AND HOW DO YOU DRAW LANDSCAPING ON THE NEW 2016 SYSTEM? SHRUBS AND TREES?

I always put my landscaping on the Site Plan. I typically use the billboard trees and shrubs.

Typically you would start with your lower floor drawing, switch to "site" mode, from the tool bar pick "building outline" and select "generate". This will create a new drawing with a building outline which you can add the lot, grading, driveways and trees n' stuff.

Thanks - where is the "billboards" icon....I can see the shrubs if I search them, however, can not find the actual library?

 

By the way, Martin, those renderings look great!

Nope, when I am in symbols I can search for trees, bushes, etc, but I do not have the "billboard" symbol.......

Is it not similar to the 2014 setup?


.. invariably, someone will have a simpler solution.

Billboard isn't a symbol ... As Doug pointed out, it's a separate library.

I exported all my "Stuff" from 2014, so maybe it came from there. Would someone from SoftPlan like to comment here?
