About this asset

This 2D shrub symbol is a Revit family designed for site plans, providing a clean, schematic representation of planting areas. This asset consists of a simplified 2D plan view representation of a shrub, rendered as a collection of lines forming a circular canopy and a central point for the stem. It is designed for clear, legible documentation in architectural site plans and landscape drawings. The graphic is minimal, avoiding unnecessary complexity to ensure that drawing files remain performant and easy to read even when populated with numerous planting elements. The geometry is fixed in a top-down orientation, making it ideal for standard 2D site documentation rather than 3D visualization or rendering purposes.

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 standard annotation element or 2D detail component. Users can load the family into a project and place it directly onto site plans or planting layouts. Because it is a 2D symbol, it does not require complex material mapping or lighting setup. Simply drag and drop the element from the project browser, use the align tool to position it precisely within landscape beds, and adjust the scale as needed to represent various plant species or mature sizes.

This symbol is essential for landscape architects and urban designers working on residential, commercial, or public realm projects. It is best utilized during the schematic design and design development phases to quickly communicate planting density and layout intent. Professionals can pair this with other 2D site symbols to create comprehensive planting plans, site analysis diagrams, or masterplans. Search for this asset when needing clear, lightweight graphics for site documentation, planting schedules, or conceptual landscape proposals in Revit projects.
