Use Cases

This chapter will explain the various cases on how to use PlantSpecDriven's functions.

The chapters are ordered in a way to represent the typical workflow when working with PlantSpecDriven. Therefore, it is recommended to start from the top and work through the different chapter.

Make sure you have PlantSpecDriven configured. You can also use one of the Test Projects to get started and working through the chapters.
