Import tree billboards from ShapeFile
|
menu path : RhinoCity \ Trees \ Import from ShapeFile |
lcommand line : RcTreeCreateBillboardFromShapefile |
This command allows to create tree as "billboard", imported from a ShapedFile.
Start the command.
Steps are :
1. Using the command line, select the ShapeFile.
2. Using the command line, select the field containing the tree's height. By default, this option is set at "None". This means that no field will be used, and that the height of the tree will be the one given by default in the library as described here (see property defHeight ). Be warned that only numeric fields "float" are listed.
3. Using the command line, select the field containing the tree's width. By default, this option is set at "None". This means that no field will be used, and that the width of the tree will be the one given by default in the library as described here (see property defWidth ). Be warned that only numeric fields "float" are listed and that the field already used for height (step #2) is not listed.
4. Choose if tree variety is contained in a field or not.
If not : select the tree variety you want to insert. The option lists the identifiers contained in the library as described here. By default, this option is set as "Random".
If yes : select the filed containing the tree's variety identifier used in the library, as described here (see property id )
5. Choose closed curves : this is optional. If you select closed curves, only trees contained in these curves will be imported.
