Use Seed Mixes to represent grass, wildflower, meadow, and other seeded landscape areas within a Revit project. Seed Mixes can be tagged, scheduled, quantified, and reported by mix type, application rate, supplier, area, and total quantity required.

Prerequisites

Before placing Seed Mixes:

1. Confirm the required seed mix exists in your organisation's library.
2. Ensure the mix has been added to a Palette.
3. Download the latest Palettes to the local workstation.
4. Open the target Revit project and ensure the planting area geometry is available (floors, topo regions, or planting areas as appropriate).

Standard Workflow

1. Create or Maintain Seed Mix Content

1. Open the organisation planting library.
2. Create a new Seed Mix or edit an existing mix.
3. Define:
   • Mix name
   • Supplier
   • Application rate
   • Mix components
   • Specification information
4. Save the mix.

Outcome: The seed mix is available for use within organisational planting palettes.

2. Add Seed Mixes to a Palette

1. Open the Palette Builder.
2. Select the required palette.
3. Add the Seed Mix to the palette selection.
4. Save the palette.
5. Download the updated palette into ArtisanRV.

Outcome: The Seed Mix becomes available within the Revit workflow.

3. Place Seed Mixes in the Model

1. Launch the planting creation workflow.
2. Select the downloaded palette.
3. Choose the required Seed Mix.
4. Select the target planting area.
5. Confirm placement settings.
6. Place the Seed Mix into the model.

Outcome: The Seed Mix is associated with the selected landscape area and becomes part of the BIM model.

4. Review and Modify Seed Mix Information

1. Select the placed Seed Mix.
2. Open the Edit Planting command.
3. Review:
   • Mix type
   • Description
   • Supplier information
   • Application rate
   • Area coverage
4. Make any required changes.
5. Save the modifications.

Outcome: Project-specific information is updated while maintaining schedule consistency.

5. Tag Seed Mixes

1. Run the Tag Planting command.
2. Select the placed Seed Mix areas.
3. Apply the desired tag style.
4. Review tag positioning and readability.

Outcome: Seed Mix information is displayed on drawings.

---

6. Generate Quantities and Schedules

1. Open the project planting schedules.
2. Refresh the schedule if required.
3. Review calculated values:
   • Seed Mix Type
   • Area
   • Application Rate
   • Supplier
   • Total Quantity Required
4. Verify quantities against project requirements.

Outcome: Accurate seeded area quantities are available for specification, procurement, and documentation.

---

7. Produce Documentation

1. Include Seed Mix schedules on drawing sheets.
2. Verify tags match schedule data.
3. Export or print schedules as required.
4. Coordinate with specifications and procurement documentation.

Outcome: Seed Mix information is fully documented and coordinated throughout the project.

Verification Checklist

• ✅ Seed Mix exists in the organisation library.
• ✅ Seed Mix has been added to a downloaded palette.
• ✅ Mix is placed in the Revit model.
• ✅ Tags display correctly.
• ✅ Schedule reports area and quantity accurately.
• ✅ Application rates and supplier information have been verified.
