The Create Planting tools enable landscape professionals to place detailed planting directly within a Revit model. Using plants and mixes selected from downloaded palettes, users can create single specimens, linear planting and area planting, complete with configurable symbols, tags and specification data. These tools support efficient planting design workflows while ensuring that planting information remains coordinated throughout the model, schedules and project documentation.
