Conical conifer of simple line branches
Free CAD block from the Trees in elevation library (67 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Conical conifer of simple line branches, drawn in elevation. It measures 10' 4" wide and 18' 11" high (3.14 m × 5.76 m), and it is drawn 1:1, full size, so it drops into any drawing set up in meters or in inches without rescaling.
From the Trees in elevation library: 67 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
Nordic house elevations, a forestry section and a diagram elevation of a shelter belt take a conical conifer drawn with simple line branches. Place it in a staggered row behind a wood-frame house, or beside a ski lodge in a section, where a 18 ft 11 in (576 cm) height reaches the eaves of a steep roof and the 10 ft 4 in (314 cm) base fits between the windows.
Clearances to leave
Conifers in a belt stand 8 ft (2.5 m) apart, so the 10 ft 4 in (314 cm) base overlaps its neighbor slightly; specimen planting wants 20 ft (6 m). Keep the trunk 13 ft (4 m) from a footing and 39 in (100 cm) from a driveway, and note the branches reach the ground, so no walking under it.
Pairs with
Group three with the Tall tiered pine with hatched foliage pads behind them for a mixed conifer stand, and add the Figure striding with one arm reaching out in the snow. A ground line with a slight slope suits a mountain site.
Common questions
What are the dimensions of this block?
It measures 10' 4" | 3.14 m wide by 18' 11" | 5.76 m high. The drawing is 1:1, full size, so it inserts at the right size in metric and in imperial drawings.
How tall is it compared with a person?
At 18' 11" it reaches about 331% of the height of a 5' 9" adult.

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.
