Does anyone have a lisp routine that creates trees and shrubs in Plan and Elevation (2d and/or 3d)?

Thank you,

Brad

Brad,

That sounds more like a block solution instead of a lisp solution. But, I could be wrong.

It does sound like a block insertion. But this list could ask what requirements are needed from the user and you pick point and it creates it. That is my idea. I just thought I would put that idea out there for the Lisp Kings to ponder.

Lets say you have a dialog box with the choices of a shrub (size, shape, type, with leaves or without leaves and so on), a tree (size, shape, type, with leaves or without leaves and so on).


Thank you,

Brad

Sounds like many different utilities you could use. That use lisp and a custom menu or toolbar to insert tree/ shrub blocks. The only parameter being the size of the block and where you place it.
For quick and dirty fast elevations of trees or shrubs, I have used a lisp written for cloud revisions. Adjusted the cloud arc and free handed the foliage. Added a few lines and voila, tree/ shrub. Or shrub tree.
Once long, long ago, I made an intern draw trees and foliage by tracing over Frank DK Ching's graphic presentation book's trees. I was a cruel person back then.
But on the bright side, I have some nice blocks now.
