About this asset

This Revit family provides an abstract 2D tree symbol for site plans, featuring multiple diamond-shaped markers in black. The asset consists of a collection of twelve distinct diamond-shaped symbols of varying sizes, arranged in a non-linear, abstract pattern. These markers serve as a simplified graphic representation for planting schedules or site plan documentation where detailed 3D foliage is unnecessary. The geometry is purely two-dimensional, designed to remain clear and legible at standard architectural scales. As a native Revit family, the component maintains consistent line weights and fill patterns, ensuring it integrates seamlessly into existing site plan templates without adding unnecessary overhead to the project file.

The download is a 358 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.

Users should load this family into their project and place it as a detail component or nested symbol within a planting plan view. Because it is a 2D annotation, it will remain flat regardless of the 3D view orientation, making it ideal for layout drawings. Adjust the visibility settings to ensure it displays correctly across different scale ranges, and use the standard align and copy tools to populate site layouts efficiently.

This symbol is intended for use in early-stage site planning, landscape masterplans, and hardscaping documentation. It is particularly useful for architects and urban designers who require a clean, minimalist aesthetic for presentation drawings or site analysis diagrams where individual tree species are represented by generic markers. It pairs effectively with standard Revit site components, providing a clear visual hierarchy for planting zones in residential developments, public parks, and urban streetscape projects where clarity is prioritised over realistic rendering.
