Height of Distributed Objects

[pgjacob]

Hi All

I am using distributed objects for plants in garden beds.  Due to a slope of the elevation, I find it easier to use a polyline solid for the mulch material to level out the bed.  But when I add a distributed object area for plants, the plants lower themselves to the terrain, so they are buried a little in the mulch.  I can't see how to raise or lower the the distributed object area (in yellow in pic).  I tried a garden bed but it still seems the plants are submerged a bit.  

Thanks

Open the distributed polyline, then edit the current object and set its elevation reference to be absolute. 

It would be simpler to just have your mulch as a terrain feature and leave all the plants following the terrain...
