Using the wizard

To use the Plant Wizard,

Choose Create New from the Plant menu. The plant wizard will appear.
gif/plantstudio00090000.gif Read the introductory panel, then click Next to move to the first panel of questions.
gif/plantstudio00090000.gif For each question, if there is a row of large picture buttons under the question, click on one of the picture buttons. If there is a list of 3D object under the question, click on a 3D object in the list. The 3D object names will appear as hints over the objects. If there is a colored square under the question, click in the square and choose a color from the standard color dialog.
gif/plantstudio00090000.gif A hint will appear if you hold the mouse over each question.
gif/plantstudio00090000.gif When you are finished with the first page of questions, click Next to move on. Continue answering questions and clicking Next until you reach the last page of the wizard. On the last page you will see a preview of your wizard plant, and the Next button will change to read Finish.
gif/plantstudio00090000.gif Click Finish to close the wizard and create a plant exactly like the one you see in the preview.

gif/plantstudio00090000.gif The wizard will close. If you clicked Finish, your new plant will appear in the main window.
