Patterns can be customized according to pre-set species and spacing parameters, then re-used in the same farm across different sections.
In-row patterning streamlines designing biodiverse and spatially complex systems, including traditional multistrata agroforestry systems, silvopasture, or small-scale forest farming.

How to use the feature

Creating a new pattern: Create a line, keyline, or imported section, then click the Patterns button in on the top right of the design panel. From there, click + New in row pattern and use the "Pattern Modal" to design your pattern: ◦ Click the circle icons to select crops from a dropdown. ◦ Specify intra-plant distances. ◦ Add descriptions as necessary to support pattern management.
Assigning a pattern: Select a line, keyline or imported section; click Patterns; then select a pattern from the dropdown.
Editing a pattern: Click View on a previously created pattern in the patterns dropdown, and then Duplicate and edit to create a new version of the pattern.
Deleting a pattern: Click View on a previously created pattern from the pattern plug in, and then Delete to delete any unused patterns.

V2: What's Coming

In V1, only line sections, keyline sections, and imported sections accept patterns. V2 will enable patterns for Grids.
Currently, row level overrides for patterned sections are disabled. V2 will enable row level overrides for patterned sections. In the meantime, we recommend using section layering to model unique patterns in individual rows.
