Show or Hide Plant Styles

The Show or Hide Plant Styles command controls the visibility of the outline, massing, and shadow parameters set on the Render pane of a plant definition (see Plant Definition: Render Pane), on the Render pane of the plant tool preferences (see Plant Tool Preferences: Render Pane), as well as from the Object Info palette.

These effects display in Top/Plan view only. In a complex drawing with many plants, these settings can take a significant amount of time to display and edit, and it is useful to toggle the effects on and off.

To show or hide the plant styles:

1. Select View > Show > Show or Hide Plant Styles.

2. If the plant styles are currently hidden, this command displays the outline, massing, and shadows of all plant objects with those parameters set.

If the plant styles are currently visible, this command hides the effects. The Outline selection is saved for the plants, even when hidden.
