Where are the 2D-symbols for the 3D gdl trees?

I wanted to change the 2D to some more useful but I can't figure out where the 2D symbols are stored.

Mats,
to find what you are searching for first you have to extract the "Library 19.lcf" into a folder of your choice.

I taked a look to the tree object "Tree Model Detailed 19.gsm":
that object use a CALL for 2 Macro objects.... "plantName_2D.gsm" and
"treeTopViews.gsm" located in
ArchiCAD Library 19\Object Library 19\3. MACROS 19\Landscaping Macros 19\

"treeTopViews.gsm" use a CALL for another 4 Macro objects.....
"treeTopSymbol1.gsm", "treeTopSymbol2.gsm", "treeTopSymbol3.gsm",
"treeTopContour.gsm". Here you can find the 2D-symbols!

Remember to remake the .lcf after your changes. And to repeat this after any upgrade of the Library from the Graphisoft side.

Ah, thx! I'll try my best to create somethins useful . I tried using a 2D image (looking for an "Illustrator" mode) but there is a bug that gives the wrong x-y measures of the 2D symbol.

I didn't get an even distribution. I just want simple legs with even spacing and a handrail.
