Tree species
Tree species category shows a list of tree species. The tree type definitions are used in tree cell placement with the Create Tree Cells tool.
You can Add, Edit, Sort, and Delete tree species by using the corresponding buttons in the Settings dialog.
There are two example tree species defined in the default setup of TerraScan. They use cells of a cell library also provided with the TerraScan installation. The library is stored in the \cell folder of the Terra applications installation directory, for example C:\terra64\cell\karttali.cel.
Any settings related to Bentley cell elements do not have any effect in Spatix.
To create a new tree species:
1. Open the Tree species category.
4. Click Add in the Settings dialog.
The Tree Species dialog opens:
5. Define settings and click OK.
6. Close the Settings dialog in order to save the tree species settings for TerraScan.
