I need to generate trees for a huge site plan. Currently, I created 3 different sized tree families and manualy placed them on the plan based on the underlay google earth image for reference.
Is there a more scientific way to accomplish such tedious task? I am imagining of drawing a boundary and trees would magically fill themselves in, randomly of course. Probably not.
Doable with the help of Dynamo (Never tried it myself) check link if you got 20 mins to spare (Step by Step guided Screencast from Autodesk Knowledge Network)
Random Set of Trees in Revit with Dynamo
Not sure if LandCADD (Add-in) does too...
Dynamo could help. Dynamo is able to place instances. Further it has a random function.
To have a little bit more control is, for example, to first create an excel sheet. In that sheet you can make a list of trees (families, types) and coordinates, radomize it somehow and than use dynamo to place the instances in your project.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
