JKEdmo Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Good afternoon, I have a raised planter with some flowers. The plants show up fine in the Cross Section / Elevation view (circled red below): However, when I send the view to layout, the plants are not displayed in the layout box: Any idea why? Thanks again, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKEdmo Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 Well, I switched the layout box from plot lines to "live view" and the plants now show up... go figure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution DBCooper Posted October 17, 2023 Solution Share Posted October 17, 2023 If your plants are really just images, they can't be converted into plotlines. You could also try using 3D plants but they may not look quite as good as you would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard 2D plants are just "pictures, " they are not 3D objects and cannot be converted to plot lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKEdmo Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 Thanks to all! Found the 3D plants in bonus catalog and tried them. Pretty good look, but probably not worth it as it really increases the time to generate plot lines. I could thin out the 3D plants, but still.... I think Alan was suggesting just cut and paste 2D CAD block images into the 2D elevation view. Probably best compromise. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 The image cad blocks are one of those Items you may need to explode in order to change the line weight or color. Just an FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
