Hatched rounded canopy mass without trunk
Free CAD block from the Trees in elevation library (67 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Hatched rounded canopy mass without trunk, drawn in elevation. It measures 17' 0" wide and 19' 3" high (5.18 m × 5.87 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
Background planting on a rendered elevation, the mass of woods on a site section and a flat-tone board take a hatched canopy without a trunk, which reads as foliage seen over a wall or beyond a building. Set it behind the roofline, where 17 ft (518 cm) of hatched mass and 19 ft 3 in (587 cm) of height fill the sky above a single-story wing.
Clearances to leave
Without a trunk, the mass sits on whatever hides it: keep the bottom edge above eye height, 63 in (160 cm), so it reads as beyond a wall. A 17 ft (518 cm) crown still means 13 ft (4 m) from a foundation and 20 ft (6 m) between trees, with 8 ft (2.4 m) under the edge over a path.
Pairs with
Stack it behind the Group of three trees with line-hatched foliage to build depth, with the Hatched twin-trunk palm silhouette in front if the scene is coastal. Lighter hatch for the background mass, heavier for the foreground.
Common questions
What are the dimensions of this block?
It measures 17' 0" | 5.18 m wide by 19' 3" | 5.87 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, 17' 0" wide, 17' 0" deep and 19' 3" 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.
