This has been asked for for at least 7 years (scaling on multiple parameters) and I haven't seen it included in any updates. If I can't do it in one step, is there another way to semi-automate the task? Visual Basic?.Is there any way I can accomplish this in one step?.The Tree ID#, Center marker (x), and Green canopy marker (green squigly line) all DO NOT scale at all.Īs far as I know, I can only scale based on one attribute using description keys. The root zone scales separately from the canopy. ![]() Ideally: The tree canopy hatch and marker (black squigly line along canopy) scale with the canopy line. Root zone is a 1.5 scale factor of the trunk size but represented in feet. The canopy size is recorded simply as a foot-diameter value, while the root zone is a factor of trunk size (Trunk size is recorded in inches. Unfortunately the root zone and canopy size are completely unrelated. What I'm looking to do is be able to import the points for the trees, auto-assign a symbol based on tree type (typically only deciduous or coniferous), and then auto-scale the canopy and root zone attributes. See the attached picture for a visual of the deciduous tree block. We use multi-attribute tree blocks that represent the center of the tree, canopy size (scalable), root protection zone (scalable), and the tree ID#. The problem: Sometimes, in our office, far too much time is spent having to go through and re-scale tree symbols. I was hoping I could get some good feedback here. I've been reading through gobs and gobs of posts and websites with only bits and pieces of an answer to my question. ![]()
