Land Kit

Land Kit .113

Plant Kit
  • Added Set Age component for a planting areas. Will change the size of the plants based on radius_max attribute and a "Growth Rate" data field (Mature height(.5 to 100 ft) ("Slow"(5-200yr), "Moderate"(2-50yr), and "Rapid"(1-20yr)).
  • Bug fixes

Land Kit .112

Plant Kit
  • Bloom Calendar can now create animated bloom. Will output all plants with updated colors according to the month. Component can also receive planting areas or plants. Previous version only took a short list or library of plants.
  • Bloom Calendar will accept months delimited with commas or a hyphen. Currently will always make a single range.
  • Culled plants in remove overlaps now return removed plants in case of need for further study.
  • Performance should be slightly faster on some operations
  • Data should now accept hyphen or em dash as a domain delimiter
  • Data will exclude any characters within parentheses (providing a way of commenting with in your data sheet without affecting the value)
  • Added more color names (list coming soon)
Topo Kit
  • Grid Surface option in Areas as Surfaces is much much faster.

Land Kit .111

Plant Kit
  • Added Remove Overlaps in area component. Will remove plants where overlaps occur within a given tolerance.
  • Removed deepcopy of plants in a lot of areas to avoid slower processing (tried to always reconnect the plant to a new area or no area if that was the case.
  • improved how plants get 'placed' in Place Plant in area component when no loc is defined.
  • Fill Pattern now includes plants that were already placed in a planting area (they could be used for co-location)
  • When no radius is provided and when plant.height_max and plant.height_min are present, calculates a radius automatically based on the Growth Form.

Land Kit .110

Paving Kit
  • Fixed issue where module array would blow up
Plant Kit
  • Added Environmental rules to fill pattern
  • bug fixes

Land Kit .109

Paving Kit
  • Added Image Color Rule which will create a rule for color based on an image input from a mapped surface.
Plant Kit
  • Added image analysis layer to create a layer from an image input from a mapped surface.
  • BETA: Added pattern fill (constrained) which behaves very similarly to a constrained fill. Missing self spacing and some plant co-location ranges (plants constrained near other plants work).
  • Weights are now assigned to plants automatically as attributes to plants (plant.w = 1.0). This attribute can be changed per plant just like any other attribute with the change attributes component.
  • Updated weight balancing to get more consistent fill densities on constrained fill. Still not perfect.
  • bug fixes

Land Kit .108

Paving Kit
  • Fixed paver projection issue
Topo Kit
  • Boundaries not (necessarily) required for creating or modifying topo.
  • Bug fixes

Land Kit .107

Plant Kit
  • Added bloom calendar component to show the flowering period for your plant list (data not provided)
  • Added month translation for apply data as niche, when month abbreviations are used (in this format "Jan" = 1, "Feb" = 2, etc.)
  • Bug fixes and tweaks
Topo Kit
  • Geo set sub layers are now created if they aren't already present when defining a parent name for the geo set component.
  • Fixed bug where OTHER_GEO elements were not affecting the topography.

Land Kit .106

Plant Kit
  • Added Niche Rule system (where rules are applied as additional constraints)
  • Added "Loose Constraint" niche rule (a permissive "sub niche" that will allow a plant if any of the “sub” constraints are met)
  • Added "Mapped Constraint" niche rule which will map the value of the first map to a second and then compare mapped value with the value on the second map. This comparison can be used to constrain the plant placement.
  • Fixed issue with clustering where clusters were denser than they should be.
  • Analysis layers can now have domains as values (in fill or by shape layer).
  • New domain values in layers and constraint domains will work if overlapping.
  • Bug fixes

Land Kit .105

Plant Kit
  • Added saving and loading of plants. Save to a .land file or read from a .land file.
  • Changed environment rule restriction gradient to accept a domain instead of min and max.
  • Removed vanilla fill and place components. Simply use constrained fill and constrained place and make constrained false.
  • Changed schedule niche columns. Now just a single column for each niche constraint.
  • bug fixes
Topo Kit
  • bug fixes

Land Kit .104

Plant Kit
  • Analysis (sun and elevation) of topo meshes defaults to top-most surface
  • plant proximity constraint now includes radii of both plants (mind the gap)
  • ability to input plants in lieu of plant names in most data components (
  • bug fixes


Land Kit .103

Plant Kit
  • updated license agreement.
  • added ability to convert sun exposure to text: Sun, Partial Shade, Shade
  • Changed logic for plant from csv data (random, reading all possible queries, etc) When you don't provide a random option, names, or numbers, will find all possible plants.
  • Added key filters on get_current_plant_data
  • made weights optional on layout_plants_fill_constrained
  • Made map names uppercase
  • bug fixes
Topo Kit
  • bug fixes

Land Kit .102

First public release
