Add objects to the design

Choose a drawing tool, structure, plant, model, light or water object from Add Objects.

The Select Tool Guide shows the Add Objects panel when there is no selection. Choose a category and then a tile. Some tiles activate a drawing or placement tool; others open a wizard or a library. Follow the resulting Tool Guide rather than assuming that every tile places an object with one click.

1

Return to Add Objects

Press V for Select and clear the current selection. The panel remembers the last usable category rather than always resetting to Draw Shapes. A category your account cannot use may show a lock and an upgrade explanation.

2

Draw shapes, annotations or an image

Open Draw Shapes. Its sections contain the drawing tools, annotations and image import. Choose the required tile, then follow its points or fields on the canvas. In 3D, additional solid-form choices are available in the Draw Shapes area.

3

Create a hardscape object

Open Hardscape and choose the appropriate wizard or custom-structure option. The wizard guides its footprint and parameters. Different objects expose different configuration steps; reopening an existing structure uses its supported editing context.

4

Place planting

Open Plants to choose a plant profile, the plant Library (which opens the Plant Intelligence Center), Hedge or Plant Area workflow. A profile starts generic plant placement; select the placed plant to set supported species and appearance properties. Do not confuse a profile choice with a completed species specification.

5

Choose a model, light or water object

Use 3D Models, Lights or Water where available. A model can be selected from the media/library picker or imported. Light and water tiles select their own placement tools. In 3D, the model area can also offer saved assets and placement options.

The active tool’s guide and canvas feedback determine how to finish or cancel. Use Esc to cancel the current step.
