      Actually Pete, I've been waiting for you to make more plants in my zone! But yes, that's the main reason. It's hard to satisfy an actual planting design with the 3D vegetation that is available. We just finished a residential landscape installation in which I had 40 different plant species designed into the job. I might have been able to satisfy a handful of them with 3D. I think the 3D vegetation is more seamless and accurate in a render, especially with shadows and lighting. Most of my clients have never even seen a 3D design in their life and wouldn't be able to tell the difference if I pointed it out. I have over 6,000 2D plants in my collection. Couple that with the RP Tools component search and place tool and I can quickly find and drop in every plant in a design in about 10 minutes.

        You can select once all plant-components in the scene, made in SketchUp, then in the material editor (Basic mode) check and mark "Use color map" them by double-clicking in one window (invert mask, if necessary), then on the context menu RMB or in Edit menu select "Replace by (keep proportions)" with Alpha Plane, then in the menu "Orientation" enter 90 degrees (Pitch). Then the only piece mark that it is Billboard, Adjust plane proportions and Keep vertical should marked too, it is possible in a single window, not closing after each point.

        It turns very quickly, I also use a lot of plants in my work 😄
