The CS
searchable planting library resources contains thousands of plant species
and varieties along with a comprehnsive number of associated specification
options. The libraries comprise planting material from the UK, Europe, Middle East, Australasia and the
Americas. The Custom Plants utility enables users from any geographic territory
to add additional planting content (species, variety, performance
and specification information) to the expanding CS community resource. Custom Plants are immediately available
to the authoring organisation to add to selections in the Palette
Builder. Access the Palette Builder by selecting either of the
Palette controls... Users are able to... Custom plants added via the Palette Builder are automatically
added to an organisation's planting library. Custom plants are placed in a
sandbox where CSD Admin is able to fully populate records and add plants to the
Artisan Community resource. Note that this is simply source planting information
which may be shared with the CSD Community and the content of user-defined
palettes remains exclusive to the authoring organisation. Add a new plant that does not exist in the CSD libraries to a
mix Use Custom Plants to create the new plant
record Add the new plant to a mix in Mixes Libraries Add the modified mix to a palette. After creating or modifying palettes, download to CS ArtisanRV

directly into a BIM-ready environment (ArtisanRV) or CAD
(Artisan).
