About this asset

This 2D deciduous tree elevation symbol is a Revit family designed for architectural elevations, featuring parametric height control. This 2D tree symbol provides a clean, schematic representation of a deciduous tree in elevation. The design uses a simplified, organic silhouette suitable for architectural site plans and exterior elevations where technical clarity is preferred over photorealistic detail. The family includes a central vertical axis line and a base reference line, allowing for precise alignment with ground levels. It features a light green fill for visual distinction in project drawings. The parametric nature of the family allows for rapid scaling to match the intended height of planting in a specific project context.

The download is a 338 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Load this family into your project as a detail component or annotation symbol. Once placed in an elevation view, use the instance parameters to adjust the total height of the tree to suit your design requirements. As a 2D element, it remains lightweight and does not impact model performance, making it ideal for large-scale site plans or complex building elevations where heavy 3D planting models would be inefficient or visually cluttered.

This asset is essential for residential, commercial, and landscape architecture projects during the schematic design and design development stages. It serves as a professional placeholder for trees in exterior elevations, helping to establish scale and context without the overhead of complex geometry. Architects and landscape designers use this to communicate planting intent quickly. It pairs well with other 2D site components, such as cars, people, or street furniture, to create clear, readable documentation for planning applications and client presentations.
