2d Trees

[dsw98]

Is there somewhere I can find 2d plants and trees?

there are probably lots of sites that have free CAD symbols to use in AutoCAD on the web. I set up a plant family that had an ACAD block visible in the floor plan views. The revit geometry is pretty "scraggly" so the blocks from ACAD were much better looking. I found that scaling was an issue, so it wasn't a perfect workaround.

It is possible that there is a similar family found on this website, or Revitcity.

I'm basicly looking to add a real looking tree and other plants to an elevation, not an actual rendering. I'm just having a hard time finding other sites that have what I need. Revit city had one tree that will work.

ah, I see.

My family also included elevation views of trees, drawn in ACAD, but the results weren't always great. And, they looked like drawings, not realisitic. I relied on work done at a landscape architecture firm where I worked in the past for those elevation views of trees. I suppose they are out there on the web, but I do not know any specific sites.

good luck.

Scott Brown originaly posted this family which I have modified a little bit to have a nice plan view representation this can be used for plan, elevation and 3d representation and also link to accurender tree if you want to render.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the credit. Basically I do this with any 2d cad drawing you want to use to spruce up your elevations. just import it into a family(correct category) into both elevation views and set the visibility appropriately and you get some great effects. Now with masking regions you could take this a step further.

Is there an echo in here?

Thanks for all the info, those are all exactly what I'm looking for.
