Plant Symbols Overlapping in Plant Schedule (Old Schedule Style)

Updated on: January 30, 2024

Issue

You opted to include your plant symbols in your Plant Schedule while using our older Plant Schedule style, but your symbols are overlapping in the schedule, as pictured below.

Cause

Some Land F/X users actually prefer having their plant symbols overlap in the Plant Schedule, so we included this ability in the Plant Schedule options.

 

 

When you placed your Plant Schedule, you likely had the following settings configured in the Schedule Options.

  • Symbols at Plan Size option checked
  • Space between Plants menu set to 0 (that is, no space between plants)
Plant Schedule dialog box, Symbols at Plan Size option checked and Space between Plants menu set to 0

 

 

These two settings cause the symbols to overlap in the schedule.

 

 

Solution

If you want your plant symbols to appear in the schedule without overlapping, you have two options.

 

Option 1: Symbols at Plan Size With Space Between Them

 

  • Symbols at Plan Size option checked
  • Space between Plants menu set to an option besides 0, providing space between the plants
Plant Schedule dialog box, Symbols at Plan Size option checked and Space between Plants menu set to an option besides 0

 

 

 

These settings will result in a schedule that includes your plant symbols at the same size as they appear in the planting plan, with sufficient space between the symbols so they don't overlap.

Option 2: Smaller Plant Symbols

 

  • Space between Plants menu set to 0
Plant Schedule dialog box, Space between Plants menu set to 0

 

 

 

Either of these settings will result in a schedule that includes smaller plant symbols. Because the symbols are so small, they will no overlap when you select this option – and whether or not you check the option to include Space between Plants.
