Tree with thick branching limbs ringed by circles
Free CAD block from the Trees in plan library (74 blocks), drawn 1:1.
About this block
Tree with thick branching limbs ringed by circles, drawn in plan view. It measures 14' 11" wide and 15' 1" deep (4.54 m × 4.60 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
Thick branching limbs ringed by circles suggest a heavy old tree with a sparse leaf cover, which suits a parkland plan, a village green or a cemetery layout at 1/16 in = 1 ft (1:200). Place it over the lawn where the limbs can be read, and use it for the retained specimen tree that the new paths must avoid.
Clearances to leave
At 14 ft 11 in × 15 ft 1 in (454 × 460 cm), the limbs reach about 7 ft 7 in (230 cm) from the trunk, so a bench or a grave plot fits beneath. Keep foundations 26–33 ft (8–10 m) away, allow 8 ft (2.4 m) of headroom under the lowest limb over a path, and fence the roots during construction.
Pairs with
Set it against the Large tree of wavy radiating branches and the Tree of sinuous branches with scattered circle leaves for a group of branched crowns; a curved path drawn around the dripline shows the tree is kept.
Common questions
What are the dimensions of this block?
It measures 14' 11" | 4.54 m wide by 15' 1" | 4.60 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 224.9 ft² (20.89 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.
