Mimic: Planting F/X for Revit® Plugin
Quick video
Our Mimic tool applies the properties of one plant (the source plant) to one or more other plants (the destination plants). The destination plants will be assigned the source plant's genus and species, symbol, size, and other associated data.
Mimic provides a quick and easy way to convert an old AutoCAD planting plan into a LandF/X planting plan with "smart" symbols.
Hoping to copy a plant in your drawing to locations where you don't have a plant yet? Our Clone tool allows you to re-create an existing plant, along with its symbol and all its data, in new locations in your drawing.
Use the Planting F/X Mimic tool instead of the native Revit Match Properties tool for Planting F/X plants. This tool brings over more essential data and changes than basic Revit can.
Mimic Overview
Open the Mimic tool:
Planting F/X ribbon, Mimic flyout
Click a plant to select it as the "source" plant. This plant's properties will be applied to other plants in your drawing, effectively turning those plants into the original "source" plant.
In this example, we'll select one of the coniferous trees as our source plant.
The Revit Status Bar will now prompt you to Select destination object(s), or "pick a plant to apply the new properties to".
Click another plant in your drawing. That plant will take on the symbol and data assigned to the source plant.
You can continue to click individual plants to assign them with the source plant's properties.
