Although the catalog contains a vast array of plants for you to insert, it does not contain all the plants listed in the Plant Encyclopedia.

You can add any plant from the Plant Encyclopedia to any catalog by following the steps below.

To add a plant from the encyclopedia to the current catalog:

  1. Select File > Catalogs > Catalog Manager.

  2. In the Catalog Manager dialog, select Plants from the Element drop box.

  3. In the Select a Type window, select or create the group you want to add the plant to.

  4. Select Catalog > Add Element.

  5. In the Plants dialog, select the Plant Info tab.

  6. Click the Encyclopedia button to launch the Plant Encyclopedia.

  7. On the Encyclopedia’s main page, select the desired plant in the plant list.

  8. Click Select. Notice that the Plant Info page of the Plants dialog is now full with the selected plant’s information.

  9. In the Name edit box, specify a name for your plant (disable Auto Name if you want to type in the name yourself).

  10. Specify the remaining properties (Quantity or Behavior) if desired, then click OK in the Plants dialog. Note that the settings on the Appearance page have no effect on the plant’s appearance. The appearance of a plant is determined by settings in the Encyclopedia.

  11. Click OK in the Catalog Manager dialog. The plant is added to your catalog.
