Style

Replace, remove, or edit the current style, or create a new plug-in object style for this object; see Changing plug-in object styles from the Object Info palette.

Editing a style changes all instances in the file that use the style.

Hide style parameters

Hides the parameters that are set by style; these cannot be edited from the dialog box or Object Info palette

Surface Area

Displays the surface area of the landscape based on the surface area of the site model under the landscape area, if one exists, or based on the area of the landscape area polyline multiplied by the Area Increase Factor, if no site model is present. The units for the display are specified by Area Units.

Projected Area

Displays the projected area of the landscape on the site model; if there is no site model, the projected area is the same as the surface area

Area Units

Selects the units for area calculations

Count

Displays the number of plants in the landscape

Edit Components

Opens the Landscape Components dialog box for editing the structure that makes up the landscape area, as described in Creating landscape area components

Simplification Tolerance

When the landscape area is a site model modifier, enter a positive value to redefine the horizontal distance between the closest parts of two neighboring portions of the modifier. A longer distance simplifies the modifier polygon, reducing the number of source points that modify the site model. A shorter distance increases the number of source points that modify the site model. A value of 0 (zero) does not simplify the modifier.

Area Vertex Count

Displays the number of vertices created by the landscape site modifier to modify the site model

Site Model Layer

<Landscape Area Layer> specifies the site model that is in the same design layer as the landscape area.

Alternatively, select the design layer with the site model to modify; the landscape area conforms to the first site model on the selected layer.

When a 3D polygon landscape area is to be associated with a site model, select the site model layer from the list. The 3D polygon is set to the site model surface; the polygon has no fill in this case, and the plants, if any, are on the site model surface.

Information

Unit Price

Specifies a general unit price (for indicating the price per square unit in worksheets)

Price Code

Enter the price code (such as a SKU number)

Vertex parameters

Edits the vertices of the path object that the landscape is based upon; see Editing vertex-based objects

Render tab

Texture

If the landscape is set to display in 3D as a texture bed, the Texture drop-down list is enabled for the main area texture; the texture set for the Datum component, when components exist and are set to display, supersedes this texture selection. The texture can be edited with the Attribute Mapping tool; see Direct texture mapping.
