Round tree outline with finely serrated edge
Free CAD block from the Trees in plan library (74 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Round tree outline with finely serrated edge, drawn in plan view. It measures 14' 5" wide and 14' 5" deep (4.40 m × 4.40 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 plan library: 74 blocks drawn to one standard, each one available on its own.
In practice
Where it goes
A round outline with a finely serrated edge is a compact, neutral crown for site plans, roof plans and vicinity plans where trees are shown but not described. At 14 ft 5 in (440 cm) it suits a mature street tree or a park tree, so use it for the repeated trees on a 1 in = 40 ft (1:500) layout, along sidewalks and around a square.
Clearances to leave
At 14 ft 5 in (440 cm), the serrated circle is wider than a 9 ft (2.7 m) parking stall and shades the sidewalk beside it as well. Keep the trunk 18–24 in (46–61 cm) back from the curb face and 13–20 ft (4–6 m) from buildings, and allow 14 ft (4.3 m) over the road under the branches.
Pairs with
Keep it in company with the Tree with evenly scalloped round outline and the Pleated radial tree canopy with wavy rim for the same quiet style; a single row at even spacing down a main avenue holds the drawing together.
Common questions
What are the dimensions of this block?
It measures 14' 5" | 4.40 m wide by 14' 5" | 4.40 m deep. 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, 14' 5" wide, 14' 5" deep and 17' 4" 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 plan drawing, from its plan, which gives no height: a crown whose top view is the drawn outline on a trunk at its centre, 1.2 times as tall as it is wide (between 10 and 40 ft). Drag to orbit, underneath too; scroll or pinch to zoom.

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.
