Broad rounded tree drawn as one large leaf
Free CAD block from the Trees in elevation library (67 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Broad rounded tree drawn as one large leaf, drawn in elevation. It measures 13' 5" wide and 18' 5" high (4.08 m × 5.62 m), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
It also comes as a 3D model built from these drawings.
From the Trees in elevation library: 67 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
Diagrammatic sections, landscape concept elevations and a storyboard of seasonal change work with a broad tree drawn as a single large leaf. Set it at the front of a park section or beside a pavilion, where a 13 ft 5 in (408 cm) wide leaf shape covers most of a single-story roof and tells the viewer the structure sits under a tree canopy.
Clearances to leave
Draw it 13 ft (4 m) from any foundation, since a 13 ft 5 in (408 cm) crown would otherwise lean on the wall. Canopy clearance over a path is 8 ft (2.4 m), so the leaf shape should start well above head height, and the 18 ft 5 in (562 cm) total height stays under a two-story eaves.
Pairs with
Group three in a stepped row with the Round-crowned tree with angular leaf masses and branches as the realistic neighbor, and add the Small child playing with arms spread wide under the leaf. Use one flat fill color for a concept board.
Common questions
What are the dimensions of this block?
It measures 13' 5" | 4.08 m wide by 18' 5" | 5.62 m high. The drawing is 1:1, full size, so it inserts at the right size in metric and in imperial drawings.
Is there a 3D model of this block?
Yes. A 3D model built from this block's drawings, 13' 5" wide, 13' 5" deep and 18' 5" high, is free to download in STEP, DXF 3D, OBJ, GLB, 3MF and STL. It is a closed part, so it also prints at 1:50 or 1:100 for a scale model.
File formats, AutoCAD versions and units are explained on the formats page; every file is free for personal and commercial work under the license.

Design notes
- Street trees are usually planted 19' 8" to 32' 10" apart, at least 3' 3" from the curb.
- A parallel parking bay is about 6' 7" to 8' 2" wide and 18' 1" to 19' 8" long.
- People and cars at real size give clients an instant sense of scale in a facade drawing.
