Land00071.pngPlant Database Field Mapping

When plant data is imported into the plant database with the File > Import Records > File database command, field mapping is required (see Importing Plant Database Information). Certain fields must be used during mapping for the plant list to function properly when exported for use with the Vectorworks Landmark product. All significant Vectorworks fields have a VW prefix.

The number of available plant data fields varies, depending on global region.
