The Plant photo command creates a label with an image loaded from the cloud, and draws a leader pointing to the referenced plant.

Insert plant photo

Steps:

  1. After running the laPlantPhoto command, select a plant object in the model. Press ENTER, or right-click. The Select Image dialog will appear.
  2. Select one of the images displayed in the dialog, searched from the cloud.
  3. Left-click in the model to specify the insert point of the plant photo corresponding to the bottom left corner.
  4. Left-click to determine the size of the plant photo, corresponding to its top-left or bottom-right corner.
Note

It is necessary to have Internet connection and the Cloud Images check-box enabled (in the bottom-left corner of the dialog), otherwise the dialog will just display the images of the plant species that come with the plant database.
