About this asset

This deciduous tree Revit planting family provides a lightweight, schematic representation for site plans and landscape layouts. Represented as a simplified geometric form, this Revit planting family features a spherical canopy set atop a single vertical trunk. The geometry is intentionally low-poly to maintain project performance while providing clear visual cues for tree placement in architectural site plans and massing models. The structure follows a standard symbolic representation, ensuring consistent documentation across multiple views without the overhead of complex, high-resolution foliage meshes. It is designed to function as a placeholder for general landscape design, allowing for quick iteration of site layouts and exterior space planning within the Revit environment.

The download is a 61 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.

To integrate this family, load the RFA file into your project template and place it within the site plan or dedicated landscaping view. As a standard planting family, it allows for easy tagging and scheduling within your project browser. Users can adjust the instance parameters to manage visibility settings, ensuring the tree appears correctly across different levels of detail and view scales, from master planning to final site documentation.

Ideal for early-stage conceptual design and master planning, this asset belongs in residential, urban, and parkland landscape schemes. It pairs effectively with site topography and hardscape elements to define exterior circulation and green space proportions. Professionals will utilise this when creating site analyses, landscape master plans, or exterior visualisations where a clean, schematic representation of greenery is required to support the primary building massing without cluttering the technical drawings or slowing down the BIM model performance.
