I am trying to build a garden that shows the passage of time in two week intervals.
I have 24 layers, each representing the first and second half of each of the 12 months of the year. My goal is that each layer will show a snapshot in time of where the vegetables are in their growth.
For a sample vegetable, I will use swiss chard. Chard takes 60 days to mature, so I have four (4) unique components:
chard_15, chard_30, chard_45 and chard_60
Each component represents two weeks of growth.
I then nested those four components into a component “Chard” that represents the whole 60 day growth cycle of the vegetable.
I would like to be able to insert a copy of “Chard” and assign it a layer that will be the reference point for the components nested inside of it.
If each layer is numbered 1 through 24 representing two week intervals, then April 15th would be “9.” I want to insert component “Chard” on layer “9” (April 15th), to represent planting on that date. Rather than editing the layer info on each of the four nested components, I would like “chard_15” to add one to the layer “Chard” is inserted on, “chard_30” to add two, “chard_45” to add three and “chard_60” to add four.
Cannot seem to find how to do this, and would appreciate any help.
Thank you in advance!
