Existing Tree Survey information is integrated into a model via the Import from Survey Data area at the bottom of the Place Existing Tree dialog...
Pick Import from Survey and follow the prompt to select an Existing Tree Survey in a standard file format.
A field mapping utility enables fields imported from an Existing Tree Survey to be asociated to parameters in the Existing Tree Families prior to placing Existing Trees into a model. Existing Trees are based on BS5837: 2012 (Trees in relation to design, demolition and construction) © The British Standards Institution 2012 but dfferent surveying solutions will often use a variety of field names and methods when collecting and recording site information.
Mapping Existing Tree Survey fields to Revit family parameters can either be carried out manually after picking Import from Survey or by first selecting a pre-defined Mapping file from the Select a Mapping drop-down menu prior to picking Import from Survey.
Existing Trees are placed in the current model as defined under Placement Options in the Place Existing Tree dialog...
Placement Options control how Existing Tree Survey data is aligned to the project coordinates and orientation, whether placement is initially as 2D only and whether the plan view is diplayed with colour fill or outline colour.
