Oval line-hatched tree with central leader
Free CAD block from the Trees in elevation library (67 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Oval line-hatched tree with central leader, drawn in elevation. It measures 15' 5" wide and 20' 2" high (4.71 m × 6.15 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
Street elevations for new planting, orchard sections and a nursery layout board take a line-hatched tree with a central leader, the upright habit of a young oak or linden. Place it in a sidewalk tree pit on a street elevation, where the 20 ft 2 in (615 cm) height clears a two-story parapet and the 15 ft 5 in (470 cm) crown overlaps the second-floor windows.
Clearances to leave
A central-leader tree grows upward more than out, so a 15 ft 5 in (470 cm) crown can sit 20 ft (6 m) from its neighbor and still fill in later. Keep the trunk 18–24 in (46–61 cm) off the curb, 13 ft (4 m) from the storefronts, and the lowest branch at 8 ft (2.4 m) over the sidewalk.
Pairs with
Plant a row with the Rounded line-hatched tree with vase-shaped branching at the corners for variety, and the Narrow egg-shaped line-hatched tree with maple leaves in the narrower gaps. The Woman in knee-length coat with bag, arm outstretched, stands at the crossing.
Common questions
What are the dimensions of this block?
It measures 15' 5" | 4.71 m wide by 20' 2" | 6.15 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, 15' 5" wide, 15' 5" deep and 20' 2" 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.

3D model
Built at real size from the elevation drawing, by turning the elevation about its trunk; the crown is see-through, with the trunk going on inside it and opening into main and side branches, as the elevation draws them. Drag to orbit, underneath too; scroll or pinch to zoom.

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.
