Our gCADPlus development team has designed an efficient method for creating your database that integrates seamlessly into the design space. These databases are structured as simple text files. Once created and loaded into the drawing editor, there is a quick way to tag individual plant symbols. As demonstrated in this video, the databases can be customized and expanded to match your design team’s preferred approach to plant selection. We also highlight the benefits of storing links to photos of the species used in a design, allowing for an easily accessible page of photos to be presented to the client.
