This Dynamo script that i made*, will place trees in a specific area*
(i am not a Dynamo expert so the script can probably be optimized or shortened)
https://youtu.be/O950dunsLjQ
Draw a spline, this spline does not need to be closed
Open the script and select the spline.
the seed you probably don’t need to adjust. Only if you have a very large area.
The distance between trees, determines the density of your trees.
Then you can select what kind of trees you want placed.
there are two items that need some attention. Autumn are all the trees in there autumn coat.
Ground coverage will place all bushes and small trees below the small trees, The ground coverage will have a smaller distance between them then the trees, it is set to one third.
Then just run the script and see your forest. It is not possible to scale the trees, but they are rotated
If you have adjustments to the script please post them here.

Looks great,
would like to have a play around with that Dynamo script and see what i can do, I’m no export just interested. I have downloaded your scripts however when i go to run, dynamo lets me know that they are corrupt, all of your scripts with this function. am i doing something wrong when downloading.
I am running Revit 2019.2.1
dynamo 2.02
I made them with dynamo 2.02 and revit 2019.3
so maybe the difference is the dynamo version, but that would be a bit strange
are you sure you are running 2.02 and not 1.34

thanks Arno, you where right I was running 1.34 and not 2.02,
the scripts not loads, however are you running a custom node as it fails when I run it.
the node FamilyType.ByCategory.
any guidance would be helpful as I am a Newb when it comes to Dynamo
That node is from a package called Orchid.
Sp you need to install that package.
if your lucky you can install it here - search for package- but most of the time this doesn’t work..
then go to https://dynamopackages.com/
go to search package and sort by name
find the package and unzip it in the folder
C:\Users**[your username]**\AppData\Roaming\Dynamo\Dynamo Revit\2.0\packages
maybe you need to turn on hidden items in your explorer.
restart Revit and it should be fine.
Also make sure you have all trees loaded in your project, they should be in your project browser
if that doesn’t work, i could change the script so it uses some python code..

i changed the script with that Python node, if you download this one then you probably don’t have to install the Orchid package.
Makes it more easy for everyone:thumbsup:

i installed the Orchid and just got it to work,
very cool, great job and thanks for the insight and guidance.
@Scomac , glad you got it working.
please give me feedback on things you like to change…personally i was thinking of also having the possibility of adding some rocks.
ground foliage has 3 times more points then the trees…i thought to make the rocks just 1/3 of the amount of trees when selected..
Amazing work @arno_delange ! Thanks for sharing your insights with the Enscape community.
Hey Arno, great job you are working on, maybe a suggestion to make a screenrecording how to use those scripts within a Revit project, that would be great!
I had some last fine tuning that needed to be done, but the final version is ready.
The packages used at the moment are:
If Equal Return Index Updated version: 1.2.0
Data-Shapes version: 2019.2.40
Orchid version: 210.0.0.7072
Clockwork for Dynamo 2.x version: 2.1.2
i will try to use as much standard nodes as i can, so i will go over the script one more time

Hi Arno, I just made my first attempt at Dynamo with your tutorial.
Your tutorial is realy clear on the setup, so I managed to install the correct packages and load your script in the Dynamo Player.
Unfortunately I can’t seem to get it to work. I get the error “Unsupported Input Type”.
I googled a bit for the error but I got lost… Do you know what the cause/solution would be?
Thanks!
