can the ground cover option in materials be used and adjusted? What I really want is good grass ground cover.
Thanks for your help.
I just tried it and it was broken for me.
It is supposed to bring the tree editor When you click on Edit for the GroundCover material, as below:
I got an error that told me that we were looking in the wrong folder for the Plant Editor.
Are you getting that error?
If the Edit button isn't working for you, you can use this work-around until I can test and post a new version.
When we map a material to a ground cover, we save the ground cover for that material as a file on the disk with the same name as the material, in a folder named for the model that is loaded.
For example, I just mapped the material "Default Roof" (which was what I had on the floor to be a ground cover) in a model that was named "furn2_2015". That save the file "Default Roof.ArGroundCover" in this folder:
C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Roaming\nXt\[Your Model name]\Materials
For me, that folder is:
C:\Users\rich\AppData\Roaming\nXt\furn2_2015\Materials
I can rund and use the nXt Plant Editor:
to load and make changes to that file, save the file, and start the rendering again to see the changed ground cover. Below I did that, and added flowers to the ground cover:
We do not have a way to place the plants from Tree Maker into the Revit model, but we do let you map a family placed in the Revit model to a Tree maker plant.

For example. here I've mapped a Conifer to a column that was in the Revit model.
When I render the model, I see column is replaced by the Conifer:
