RenderMall Plant

Visualization |
Many designs have a need for plants that render quickly and appear more realistic than image prop objects. High-quality 3D plants from RenderMall are included. These plants look authentic in all views and cast realistic shadows, without adding excessively to rendering times or file size.
To place a RenderMall plant:
Click the tool.
Click RenderMall Plant on the Tool bar to select the plant to insert.
Click to insert the selected plant into the drawing.
When applicable, the low resolution, summer version of the plant is inserted by default. The plant includes a 3D locus so it can be easily moved; in addition, the plant can be sent to the surface of a site model (see Sending objects to the surface). In Top/Plan view, a 2D version of the plant displays.
The parameters can be edited later from the Object Info palette. The options available depend on the selected plant type.
