Round-crowned tree with angular leaf masses and branches
Free CAD block from the Trees in elevation library (67 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Round-crowned tree with angular leaf masses and branches, drawn in elevation. It measures 13' 0" wide and 13' 9" high (3.97 m × 4.19 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
Park elevations, school playground sections and a suburban street elevation suit a round-crowned tree with angular leaf masses and visible branches, which prints as a medium deciduous tree at ⅛ in = 1 ft (1:100). Put it beside a bench in a section or in front of a two-story house, where a 13 ft 9 in (419 cm) height sits under the eaves and the branches show against the facade.
Clearances to leave
With a crown 13 ft (397 cm) wide, this is a medium tree: hold 13 ft (4 m) to the nearest foundation and 20 ft (6 m) between trunks along a street. Branch clearance over a path should be 8 ft (2.4 m), which the lowest leaf mass here just allows, with the trunk 18–24 in (46–61 cm) from the curb.
Pairs with
Pair it with the Dense round tree with jagged leaf clusters for a summer scene and swap in the Round-crowned tree with sparse broken outline for the fall version. A Person seated leaning forward, forearms on knees, on a bench below completes the park.
Common questions
What are the dimensions of this block?
It measures 13' 0" | 3.97 m wide by 13' 9" | 4.19 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, 13' 0" wide, 13' 0" deep and 13' 9" 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.
