Plant Schedules

 

The Land F/X convention is that the Plant Schedule is to appear in Paper Space, along with other notes and sheet border information.

Destination

 

This determines where you want the Plant Schedule to be displayed or saved to.

Drawing: The Plant Schedule will be inserted into the drawing with the proper font type and titles.

Spreadsheet File: The Plant Schedule will be sent to Microsoft Excel, for additional editing, cost estimation, separate faxing/printing, or other uses.

Entire Palette: Place with one of the above methods the entire palette of plants you have selected for the project, whether you have used the plants or not. This was intended to review the palette of plants early in a project, to determine what may need to be added or deleted.

 

Schedule Options

 

General options for the schedule.

Names in Separate Columns: If checked, the botanical and common names will not be listed together, but will be in separate columns. This makes for a wider schedule.

Remarks below Name: With this checked, any remarks will be placed below the plant name, to result in a narrower schedule. If unchecked, a separate column is created for remarks, resulting in a wider schedule.

Include Cost: Only available when sending the schedule to a spreadsheet, this will include basic cost figures for each container size, as indicating in the Preferences screen for Plant Sizes.

Space Between Plants: Toggles whether an empty space is inserted between each plant row.

Quantity before Name: When selected, the quantity appears just after the code and/or symbol, but before the Name; otherwise, it will appear after the container size.

Sort By: Allows sorting the schedule by either Botanical, Common, or Plant Code.

 

Trees, Shrubs, Shrub Areas, and Ground Covers

 

Options for how the plant information is displayed.

 

Category Check Box

There is a check box in front of each category. If the box is checked, that category will show up in the schedule. If you wish to isolate the types of plants you want to show up in the schedule, such as only trees, then only check the categories you want to be indicated on the schedule.

Work Area Schedules

After selecting your schedule preference, if you have any work areas defined, you will be prompted to select one or all of them. If you are running the schedule on all work areas defined, and have chosen to include the Quantity column, the system will create a separate quantity column for each area.
