Custom 2D symbol for trees

Hi Everyone

 

I want to use a custom 2D symbol for the symbol type for the tree object. When I tick the "Use Custom 2D" option at the bottom how do I make my own custom symbol to use? 

 

I have attached the type of symbol I want to use for the floor plan view of the tree.

It is looking for any image file (.JPG, .TIF, .PNG, .BMP) that is in your loaded libraries.

You appear to not have any image files in your loaded libraries.

 

So just create an image file (it seems it will be resized to suit the object settings), load it with Library Manager and then re-load the library.

It should then appear in the list.

 

Here it is with your 'tree PNG 01' file.
