Larger tree canopy of scattered polygon leaves
Free CAD block from the Trees in plan library (74 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Larger tree canopy of scattered polygon leaves, drawn in plan view. It measures 11' 11" wide and 11' 4" deep (3.62 m × 3.45 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 plan library: 74 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
The larger polygon-leaf crown is the mature counterpart on a landscape layout for a park, a riverside walk or a long backyard, where it marks the tree that has been in place for some years. Drop it onto a presentation site plan over the lawn or the terrace, with its slightly oval shape turned to follow the main path.
Clearances to leave
Measuring 11 ft 11 in × 11 ft 4 in (362 × 345 cm), the crown is wider than deep, so align the long axis with the border it sits in. A walkway beneath needs 8 ft (2.4 m) of headroom, and the trunk should stand 13–20 ft (4–6 m) from a foundation and 18–24 in (46–61 cm) back from any curb face.
Pairs with
Keep it next to the Tree canopy of scattered polygon leaves as the elder of the pair, and add the Tree with dashed outline and radial spokes as a proposed tree nearby; alternating sizes along a path read as natural growth.
Common questions
What are the dimensions of this block?
It measures 11' 11" | 3.62 m wide by 11' 4" | 3.45 m deep. The drawing is 1:1, full size, so it inserts at the right size in metric and in imperial drawings.
How much floor space does it take?
Its footprint is 134.7 ft² (12.51 m²). Leave at least 2' 11" of clear walkway on the sides people use.

Design notes
- Keep tree canopies at least 6' 7" from the house; large species need half their mature spread.
- A terrace for a table of four needs about 9' 10" × 9' 10" to move round it.
- Plan symbols at their real canopy size show clients how much shade a tree will give.
