Listing Commands

The Listing commands insert a 2D table displaying the information of Lands Design elements that have been inserted in the model.

• Plant species
• Urban Furniture
• Terrains
• Sprinklers
• Pipes
• Zones

The lists can be exported to Microsoft Excel or HTML format with the laExportList command.

Insert a list

Steps:

1. Run any of the listing commands.
2. Specify an insert point in the model to insert the List.

The list will show the information of all existing elements of the same type that are in the model, according to the list settings, and will update automatically when new elements are added or existing elements are removed.

The Listing parameters are divided in different tabs, and are available from different dialogs:
