Tightly shaped Hedging

[Jackstacey]

Good Morning,

I'm trying to illustrate a neatly cut 6ft hedge. I can of course distribute the hedging as I want to see it using Polyline Distribution Path, and get the height's correct however I need to affectively

crop the sides of the hedge's in to create a 400mm wide hedge. The problem is the high the plant I choice the wider the plant becomes and I don't want that.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated

 

Jack

Deselect "Retain Aspect Ratio" and you can increase the height and keep the same width of the image or symbol.

Thank you for the suggestion however I'm looking for a really tightly pruned hedge, something like using a standard polyline solid and the material is a 'plant' but I don't get that option when selecting the material.

 

Any other idea's

Something like this?

It is a symbol with various materials that can be edited to achieve the look you want - different material, scale, etc.

The symbol can be stretched, resized, etc.

Good Evening Glen,

 

That's exactly what I am looking for. I don't suppose you could explain how to did this. I can build the symbol but how have to applied the material, I can't find hedging in

the material lists? Thanks

Jack,

Here is a zip file that contains the symbol and the materials.

As you will see, the materials are not hedge materials but are materials like ivy, ground cover, grass...

Have a play with the materials definitions to change the appearance - mainly scale.
