Round leafless tree with dense twig crown
Free CAD block from the Trees in elevation library (67 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Round leafless tree with dense twig crown, drawn in elevation. It measures 12' 11" wide and 13' 3" high (3.94 m × 4.03 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
Winter elevations, permit submissions for northern sites and a section where the facade must stay visible take a leafless tree with a dense twig crown. Put it in front of a storefront or a glazed facade in a street elevation, where 12 ft 11 in (394 cm) of bare twigs let the building read through and the 13 ft 3 in (403 cm) height sits below the second-floor fascia.
Clearances to leave
Bare twigs still need the full 12 ft 11 in (394 cm) of crown width; space trunks 20 ft (6 m) apart along a street and keep each 18–24 in (46–61 cm) from the curb. Leave 8 ft (2.4 m) under the lowest twigs over the sidewalk, and hold 13 ft (4 m) to any basement wall.
Pairs with
Match it with the Dense round tree with jagged leaf clusters as its summer state, or set it among the Bare round tree with fine branching twigs for a winter avenue. The Couple in long coats walking arm in arm suits the season.
Common questions
What are the dimensions of this block?
It measures 12' 11" | 3.94 m wide by 13' 3" | 4.03 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, 12' 11" wide, 12' 11" deep and 13' 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.
