Artisan Landscape for AutoCAD & BricsCAD

Purpose

The Planting Schedules tools are used to generate, manage, and maintain accurate schedules of planting information within an Artisan project. Planting schedules provide a coordinated record of plant species, quantities, specifications, and planting requirements, ensuring consistency between planting plans and construction documentation.

Standard Workflow

1. Prepare Planting Data

Before creating a planting schedule:

2. Review Planting Information

Prior to schedule generation:

1. Check all plant species assignments.
2. Verify botanical names.
3. Confirm plant specifications are correct.
4. Review planting densities and quantities.
5. Resolve any duplicate or incomplete planting records.

3. Generate a Planting Schedule

To create a schedule:

1. Open the Planting Schedule tool.
2. Select the schedule type required.
3. Define schedule settings and formatting options.
4. Choose the planting data to include.
5. Generate the schedule.
6. Review the initial output for completeness.

4. Configure Schedule Content

Tailor the schedule to project requirements by including relevant information such as:

• Botanical name
• Common name
• Plant category
• Plant size or specification
• Quantity
• Planting density
• Notes and special requirements

Ensure all required project information is displayed consistently.

5. Review and Validate Schedule Data

Once generated:

1. Review all schedule entries.
2. Verify quantities against the planting plan.
3. Confirm species information is accurate.
4. Check for missing plant records.
5. Validate plant specifications and notes.

6. Update Schedules Following Design Changes

When revisions occur:

1. Update the planting design.
2. Review modified planting areas.
3. Regenerate the planting schedule.
4. Check revised quantities and specifications.
5. Replace outdated schedule information.

7. Coordinate with Planting Plans

Before project issue:

• Compare schedule data against planting plans.
• Verify all plants shown on the drawing appear within the schedule.
• Confirm schedule totals match plan quantities.
• Resolve any discrepancies.
• Ensure labels, legends, and schedules remain coordinated.

8. Format Schedule for Presentation

For project deliverables:

1. Review table layout.
2. Check text formatting and readability.
3. Adjust column widths where required.
4. Ensure compliance with company and project standards.
5. Verify plotting and printing appearance.

9. Insert Schedule into the Drawing

When documentation is complete:

1. Place the schedule in the appropriate drawing sheet or layout.
2. Position the table clearly within the drawing.
3. Verify scale-independent readability.
4. Confirm title and references are correct.
5. Review the final sheet presentation.

10. Validate and Save

Before issuing documentation:

• Review all schedule data.
• Verify quantities and specifications.
• Confirm coordination with plans and labels.
• Check formatting and presentation standards.
• Save the drawing and update project records.
