Users have the option of initilly placing Existing Trees as 2D symbols only in order to speed up placement. This may be beneficial when dealing with a substantial number of trees or when an immediate plan view is required. Toggling off the "2D Only" instance parameter subsequently will switch on the 3D properties .
Existing Trees are placed in plan view categorised by colour to denote quality and value in outline or shaded fill with accurate representation of tree canopies measured at four cardinal points.
The Root Protection Area (RPA) is calculated based on the recorded stem diameter that is displayed as a dashed line around individual trees. Existing Trees are placed in 3D views and are sized automatically by dimensions recorded in the imported tree survey.
