Display Choices for CAD Trees in LANDWorksCAD

Question

This article explains how to create your own styles using CAD tree symbols from LANDWorksCAD

Answer

In this example, we have created some different styles for the same tree symbol.

The tree symbols have been inserted as figures, then exploded and applied different effects.

Shadows are surface planes that are black in color with 50% transparency. They have been placed between the tree symbols and the background.
