Tree object that correctly projects both in 3D and 2D

[AlexKW]

Hello everyone,

I have been struggling to get to have tree objects that project correctly in 2D and 3D (both as view and 3D document). I have been experimenting with the assets available with archicad. What I am aiming for is a clean, stylistic look in our drawings and not having to have 2 different layers for 2 or 3 different types of visualization. We do a lot urban design as well so having a tree that projects well and looks good on 2D is important.  

In the screenshots attached: From left to right
1. The leftmost tree is a 3D tree. It doesn't look great and I can't adjust it to make it look stylized on 2D view
2. This is a "silhouete" asset from KUBUS, an archicad license provider in the Netherlands. You can load up custom profiles and have them project in the image in 3D (so you have to actually draw things or import them as dwg in the profile manager). Problem is that you can adjust the size only through the custom profile environment and I cant adjust how it looks on plan. As a 3D Document it looks great.

3 and 4. This is the standard archicad decidious tree asset. Which can project correctly on plan and 3d view but not on 2D view. Whats more, is that if you want it to project correctly on 2D view you need a seperate copy of it and set it to project sideways and on 3D document.

I can't figure out how to have one tree asset look decent and customizable in all three types of projection...plus I am still kinda dissapointed by the style of many archicad assets looking very outdated. I like working with archicad but I really have to put my back to it to make our drawings look contemporary.

I saw this online and seems to be exactly what I am looking for. Has anyone used it? And if so, is it worth it?

Any tips or suggestions are very much welcome!!

For an AC to TM pipeline, or really any rendering pipeline, we need proxy functionality... Think there was a wish for this somewhere... A tree that looks half decent in TM is too heavy for use in AC in my opinion...
