Plant database
Use this add-on:
Screenshots and a short video come with the listing (AL.3).
Overview
Plant database is the species list that CivilCraft's Landscape workspace places plants from. As a Library listing it is planned: the idea is one plant list that CivilCraft, BimCraft and ModelCraft all read, so a building model can hold plants too. The list itself exists in the repository (row LD.1, partial) and works inside CivilCraft; the shared Library listing and its publishing grant from the owner are not done.
Who it’s for
- Landscape designers who want one plant list across apps (planned).
- Estimators who count plants from a drawing (works today inside CivilCraft's Landscape workspace).
What you can do
- As a Library listing, nothing yet. Inside CivilCraft's Landscape workspace the seed list can be searched, extended with your own plants, saved with the project and exported or imported as CSV, as the Landscape listing describes.
Methods and standards
Each plant has names, type, height and spread, growth rate, light and water need, hardiness zone and spacing, as row LD.1 describes. Search runs over those fields.
Data and sources
A seed list of about 420 plants, written by CadCraft from general horticultural knowledge and not copied from a nursery or commercial database, with sizes rounded and common names in English, Spanish and Portuguese where we know them. Its notes say to check sizes and hardiness with a local nursery.
Verification
bin/test-landscape.mjs has a plants section that reads the list as untrusted input and checks the seed list, CSV out and back, and search. There is no check of the sizes or hardiness against a horticultural reference.
Limits
The shared Library listing is planned and its publishing grant is still the owner's to give. Plant data is for planning, not a nursery specification. Only temperate and Mediterranean species are in the seed list.
Files and formats
The list is read as the plants format, version 1, and can be exported and imported as CSV.
Get started
- Open CivilCraft, open the Landscape workspace and use the Plants list.
- To follow the shared listing, watch row LD.1 on the roadmap.
