Hatched twin-trunk palm silhouette
Free CAD block from the Trees in elevation library (67 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Hatched twin-trunk palm silhouette, drawn in elevation. It measures 11' 2" wide and 18' 9" high (3.40 m × 5.72 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
Presentation elevations of a beach house, a hotel section rendered in flat tone and a tropical streetscape board take a hatched twin-trunk palm silhouette that sits in the same family as the other hatched trees here. Put it in the foreground of a seafront elevation, where 11 ft 2 in (340 cm) of hatched crown and two stems frame a terrace at 18 ft 9 in (572 cm) high.
Clearances to leave
Two stems in one block need one pit of 47 × 47 in (120 × 120 cm) and a trunk base 39 in (100 cm) from the terrace edge. The 11 ft 2 in (340 cm) crown allows 10 ft (3 m) to the next palm, and 8 ft (2.4 m) under the fronds keeps the terrace walkable.
Pairs with
Keep it with the other hatched silhouettes, the Hatched narrow conifer with tiered silhouette and the Hatched rounded canopy mass without trunk, so the tone is consistent across the sheet. For a detailed palm instead, the Twin-trunk date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) is the same tree.
Common questions
What are the dimensions of this block?
It measures 11' 2" | 3.40 m wide by 18' 9" | 5.72 m high. The drawing is 1:1, full size, so it inserts at the right size in metric and in imperial drawings.

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.
