Attributes
We cover important properties of objects in Permiehub such as display names and properties of plants.
What are Attributes
Objects in your digital design inside of Permiehub carry information about themselves. These properties that we can record about them are called Attributes. For most types of objects, you can set various attributes for each one.
Display Name
A display name is a label you can add to any object in your design. Unlike an object’s description or name, its display name will show on the canvas - that is why we called it a display name.
EXAMPLE
An example of a display name can be an abbreviation of a plant, an ID number of your tree, or a short description you want to show when printing.
Visibility of Display Names
Because a display name is an attribute of an object, you can only see it when the object shows.
You can use this to your advantage as you progress through the design steps.
EXAMPLE
For example, in your concept design, you can add a display name ‘Veggie Garden’ to a garden area. When you move to the detail design and break down your veggie area into garden beds, you can assign them different display names individually - for example: “Ginger” or “Garden Bed #1”.
Fruiting / Flowering / Bearing Leaves
You can note when trees fruit, flower, or bear leaves. You can also colour trees to reflect their fruit or blossoms or colour-code your trees.
If you set up the times of your trees bearing blossoms, fruit, or leaves, you can visualise the information for each month using the Highlight Planting feature.
