JCCARROLL Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Does Vectorworks have any 3D pine trees? Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Yes. Use the search function in the Resource Manager; type in "pine". 1 Quote Link to comment
JCCARROLL Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 Thanks for the suggestion. I had already tried that. I only found 2D elevations, 2D plan images, and image props, no 3D pine trees. I did find some stylized 3D conifers in Entourage Plants, but nothing realistic. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Image Props are 3d resources. They have a much lower poly count than actual 3d models. Try it and see what you think... FWIW, it is generally helpful if you create a Profile which includes your OS flavor and version and your VW's Version, etc. P 1 Quote Link to comment
JCCARROLL Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 The image props appear as two 2D images 90º opposed to one another. Is there a setting that may be used to make them appear as 3D images? I will try update my profile with OS an VW version. I use a Mac and I am currently using VW 2018. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 In Top Plan View, IP's look like crossed lines, but pop into a 3d View (like with the Flyover Tool) and you will see their 3d(like) presentation. If you want the best of both worlds, you can use a 2d/3d Hybrid Symbol which contains the Plan View graphic and the 3d IP. For example, try the Symbol called "Plant Basic Evergreen Tree 01". Or, you can create your own (see: http://app-help.vectorworks.net/2019/eng/index.htm#t=VW2019_Guide%2FSymbols%2FCreating_Symbol_Definitions.htm&rhsearch=hybrid symbol&rhhlterm=hybrid symbol&rhsyns= ) Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 JC, here (below) is a VW's file with the Evergreen Tree. Note 1: see how it behaves like a 2d Object in Top/Plan View and how it changes to a 3d Object in 3d Views (this is a central paradigm in VW's and applies to the entire program); Note 2: if you double click on a Hybrid Symbol you are given the choice of Edit 2d or Edit 3d. Try it and you will get a better idea of how Hybrid Objects are created. You will also be able to modify many things in the Symbol if desired; Note 3: If/when you create/modify Hybrids, make sure that the 2d alignment is true, center of 2d = center of 3d. More questions? Post back! Evergreen.vwx 2 Quote Link to comment
Helm Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 But you never really answered the question about a 3D tree, props are 2D images. They do not work in Enscape for example. They show up but you see that they are just crossed vertical 2D images. Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 RenderMall Plants are 3D. Visualization Tool Set. Quote Link to comment

Tom W. Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 There are some here https://rendermall.com/en/billboards/palms-pines-bb But you have to buy them + perhaps not the specific species you want... Quote Link to comment

Have you tried the pines, I need the look of California pine forest. Quote Link to comment
