About this asset

This 2D Shrub Symbol is a lightweight Revit family designed for site plans and landscape drawings using simple line-based graphics. This asset consists of a minimal 2D line-work representation of a shrub, intended for use in plan views. The design features a circular outline with interior curves and a central point, providing a schematic visual shorthand for planting on site plans, landscape layouts, and master planning documentation. It is purely a graphical annotation element, lacking 3D geometry or rendering materials. The clean, black-line aesthetic ensures it integrates seamlessly into technical drawing sets, maintaining clarity at various scales without adding unnecessary file weight to the project environment or slowing down sheet generation.

The download is a 389 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.

In Revit, this family functions as a 2D detail component or symbol. Users can load the family into a project and place it directly onto site plans or planting layouts. Because it is a 2D element, it remains visible only in plan view and does not require rendering or material mapping. It is ideal for quickly populating landscape areas where complex 3D foliage is not required, keeping the file size minimal and the drawing performance high.

Professional landscape architects and urban designers use this symbol for early-stage site planning, concept master plans, and final construction documentation. It is appropriate for residential garden designs, public park layouts, and commercial exterior landscaping projects where a clear, legible graphical representation is preferred over heavy 3D models. Architects often pair this with other 2D site symbols for hardscaping, pathways, and tree canopy diagrams to create comprehensive planting schedules and site-wide landscape master plans for planning applications and tender packages.
