Landscape Design Plans

Hi
I'm looking for help to create plans for a landscape design and I would like it to be vector-based if possible.
I have outlines of trees as shown below (ArchiCAD) but I'm not sure of the technique to make the grass look how it does and how to make the trees look that way (apart from drop shadow)
The site I'm creating a landscape plan for is around 60% grassland, so I want to use the same effect on the first image to represent grass (rather than a solid colour). The next biggest element of the site is trees, around 20% in various sizes, so I want to re-create the trees as shown in the first image. I have Vector outlines for the trees (From ArchiCAD) but I need to apply some sort of style to achieve the effect as shown above.. The other main part of the landscape is limestone pathways, which are very 'rough' i.e merge into the grass, like on the second image.
What I'm asking is techniques in Illustrator to basically re-create the first image, and add some limestone pathways... I can't really give you a plan because it's basically just grass and a few trees... I have to plan the landscape for a project.
The overall 'theme' for the plan is 'sketchy' If that helps
Thank You

For the edges of the grassy fills, you can apply a solid green fill, apply an Inner Glow Effect to the fill to get the vignette. To get the stipple and/or grain, combine this with another raster effect, like Spatter or Grain.
You do not need a high Document Raster Effects Resolution setting for this kind of thing, even if it's intended for commercial print. Screen res or 150 PPI is a gracious plenty. When you hit upon a combination you like, store it as a Graphic Style so it can be applied to other objects with a click.
For your trees, draw three or four variations. Store each one as a Symbol. Place Instances of the Symbols whereever you want on the drawing. Use Transform Each to randomly alter their scale/rotation without disturbing their positions. You can paint an entire forest this way in minutes, and it's also a data-economical way to build the file.

  • Altering photos....eg.landscaping designing and the like...

    How does one take a dig photo and alter it? ... in other words, ...is there anyone out there that has had experience with landscape design using an iMac (and some sort of purchaseable program) and actually design a landscape?
    ...i want to do some major changes around my house and my wife just doesn't get what i am wanting to do.... if i have an altered photo and actually show my wife then she will understand my proposals.....

    I heartily second PhillyPhan's recomendation. You can do some very advanced editing with PSE. Amazon.com often has deals on PSE for about $80. Or, if you're in the market for a new scanner, Canon bundles PSE 4 for Mac with many of it's scanners, even some of the lower prices models.
    If you're looking to do some landscape planning OmniGraffle has templates for laying out areas and adding different plant icons for planning purposes. It came with my G5.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Home/landscape design app for mac?

    Is there a consumer-level (not some $1000 3D CAD pro app) home and/or landscape design application available for mac similar to Home & Garden designer programs for PC?? I can't find one to save my life!

    Thanks for the ideas - I've searched for quite a while. I mean months now. The Apple website doesn't seem to have what I'm looking for. I've seen programs/apps widely available at regular retail stores for PC - that aren't professional CAD 3D programs that cost 100's or even 1000's of dollars just for laying simple landscape and/or interior design plans. I'm not a professional or business owner - I just want something that can help me layout plans for landscaping my yard and for home remodels etc. There's nothing like this for mac?

  • Graphic Design Plan?

    I am a student, and I see that there is an affordable 10/month plan for photography exclusive programs. Is there something similar for a graphic design plan? Like a 15/month plan for Illustrator and Photoshop?

    Hi,
    I am sorry but there is no such plan.
    If you wish to subscribe for only Illustrator and Photoshop, you will need to sign up for single-app plans separately for each application.

  • Is there a notation for designing planning hierarchies/architectures?

    Hi everyone,
    I wonder if there is a standard notation for designing planning hierarchies/architectures.
    When designing BW InfoCubes, I can use ME/RM or ERM for conceptual design and SAP Star Schema for logical design. Is there anything similar for designing planning hierarchies/architectures?

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Transport Landscape design??

    Hi all,
              Our client is saying that they require 2 Development system,2 Quality & 1 Production System.How will we design our Transport Landscape??Is it possible to have 2 development & 2 QA in one system landscape??

    Hi,
    This configuration is very much possible, in fact i have worked with a client with similar configuration.
    Transport route can be
    DEV1->QA1->PRD
    DEV2->QA2->PRD
    Now whenever request from DEV1 reaches production it should also simultaneously move to DEV2 and QA2.
    The reverse is to be done when request from DEV2 reaches PRD, it needs to be flushed back to DEV1 and QA1
    This is needed to maintain synchronization between two DEV and QA
    Synchronization danger occurs in scenario when changes/enhancements of similar type are performed at same time in both dev.
    Hence any changes/Enhancements planned should be checked for clash or else synchronization is extremely difficult to achieve.

  • Landscape design using J2SE

    Hi,
    I am hoping that you could assist in the following interface design matter.
    Engen have Oil deports right over the country. These are connected via the WAN.
    These depots runs a Business Application that needs integration with SAP. There are about +/-12 that operate 24/7.
    Currently they are transferring files between the Deport and SAP via MQ Series.
    These transactions files are time critical and are generated adhoc. They are shipment instructions to automated
    truck loading equipment at the plant and the response back to SAP on the actual load taken.
    The plants are sitting in places quite remote which geographically could be hundreds of kilometers away.
    From a design point of view would it be best to just use a File Adapter on the Central Adapter Engine, via a share or would the use of
    a J2SE Adapter Engine (Hosts does not support J2EE due to RAM requirements) with a local File Adapter be best. Keeping in mind that the support and maintenance will have to be done from a Central location (HQ).
    My challenge so far has been that I have not been able to find SAP documentation to guide me.
    I would greatly appreciate if you could refer me to some document that could assist or with any advice you might have.
    Regards
    Willie Hugo

    Hi Willem!
    To keep landscape and maintenance as simple as possible I would start to use the Central Adapter Engine and FTP on the local sites. Are all local sites connected via secure network connections like intranet or VPN? If not security aspects also have to be taken into account (FTPS and SFTP are not secure).
    Please keep in mind just the simple and day-to-day situation that you have to apply patches to adapter engine software. In the worst case all remotely installed adapter engines must be patched by someone. Addintionally you have to ensure at least a 2-system landscape. That means centeral PI x 2 (or 3) plus decentral Adapter Engines x 2 (or 3).
    But you can also have a look at service marketplace under Alias "instguides". There you can find e.g. a Technical Infrastructure Guide for PI 7.1 (and other XI/PI releases). There you will also find security guides if security will become a cirtical factor in your environment.
    By the way: Is it planned to use the PI/XI instead of MQ Series or can it also be a possible solution to leave everything as it is in the locations and just connect MQ series with XI/PI?
    Regards,
    Volker

  • Does anyone know of an app that designs plans for woodworking?

    I'm looking for an app from the mac app store that can design woodworking plans for a good price, free would be nice but willing to pay for it (if it is absolutely a good app, as you can not return apps haha), I would like to have it in 3D but its not necessary. 
    Looking for all ideas, even if theres a web based site that can do what I'm looking for.
    Thanks in advance.

    There are a couple iPad/iPhone apps but the one that seems to work the best is this one here and it's only $19.99 and is also 3D. I don't know of a similar app for Mac.

  • SLD Landscape Design Question

    After reading the Planning Guide - System Landscape Directory, I am left with a question.
    The Setup:
    Standard three system landscape
    ECC 6.0 Ehp5 on NW 7.02ECC Instances: DE1, QE1, PE1
    PI 7.31
    PI Instances: DP1, QP1, PP1
    PI Business Systems: DE1CLNT100, QE1CLNT100, PE1CLNT100
    Each PI Instance has a local SLD
    Management LandscapeSolution Manager 7.1 on NW 7.02
    SolMan Instance: SP1
    Local SLD
    LMDB
    Reading through the Planning Guide, the recommendation (pg. 45, picture below) seems to be to have all systems self-report to PP1. That is, without synchronization, only PP1 knows about any systems because they all report to PP1 and do not report in to their local SLDs. The data is then sent back to DP1 & QP1 via bridge forwarding. Business Systems are manually entered into their respective local SLDs, but then have to be manually exported/imported from DP1 --> QP1 --> PP1. Once it's all gathered into PP1 again, all data is pushed to SolMan's SLD on SP1 via a unidirectional content synchronization.
    If I read this correctly, then all SLD's will end up "knowing" all systems and business systems: e.g. the sld of DP1 will have entries for QP1 and PP1 and for business systems QE1CLNT100 and PECLNT100.
    Earlier in the guide, I gathered that there was value in not having all of the data in Development in that there is then clear separation between non-production SLDs and production SLDs. The above recommended setup seems to go against this idea of separation. Plus, it requires a significant amount of manual upkeep.
    As an alternative (pictured below), what if each environment only reported to it's local SLD (DE1 --> DP1, QE1--> QP1, PE1--PP1). (Note that in the picture the SLD is drawn separate, but I've heard that most customers run their local SLD on PI, so the SLD depicted in each environment actually runs on the PI system in this scenario.) Further, what if the SLD's then synchronized sequentially in a full unidirectional content sync fashion. (DP1 does a full uni-directional Content Sync to QP1, QP1 does a full uni-directional Content Sync to PP1, and PP1 does a full uni-directional Content Sync to SP1.)
    DP1 would only know about it's own systems. QP1 would know about it's own plus DP1 (which it needs). PP1 and SP1 would both have full visibility into all systems.  Furthermore, the manually entered business systems would also be automatically synchronized and the whold manual export/import process could be avoided or  a manual export/import could be implemented between Q and Production for safety with an automatic bridge forward of Data Supplier data.
    Are there downsides to the second scenario that I am not seeing? Please comment!
    Best regards,
      --Tom

    Although the guide states that Dev systems only needs to know about other systems in the DEV environment and QAS systems only needs to know about systems in the DEV and QAS environments and only PRD needs to know all systems, I am finding that I can't get the groups set up correctly when the DEV environment has no visibility to the QAS environment.
    It seems that the recommended structure (where all systems are known in all environments) will facilitate the correct setup of the PI transports. So far, that is the biggest arguement I've been able to find against the second approach outlined above. Using full sync all the way through is also not an option if you're doing any development as any changes in the DEV system automatically flow through to PRD almost instantly. Using automatic bridge forwarding and import/export might be a usable alternative, but the recommended approach from page 41 of the planning guide does seem to have the best of all worlds.

    It may be worth setting up a little java test program to try out your settings and see if you can recreate the problem in an environment where you have more control.
    Are you sure that the messages are TextMessages?
