      Anything out there like that? I'm a former CAD user, and missing that "revision cloud" line type that was often used to represent a tree line in plan.

      Anyone know what I'm talking about?

            I guess you could have a couple of components with such texture added to them if I correctly understand what you mean.

              If you look at my 2dTools 2dFreehand tool it does much of what you want - although it draws connected edges at preset distance increments like 1".
              To make a 'rev-cloud' version you simply make the distance increments bigger and draw arcs between the points... when the end point is the start point the tool stops... πŸ€“

                  Yes, and unfortunately there are really no 'linetypes' in sketchup. The revCloud plugin, http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=337237#p337237, is close but the arcs are all the same not what you would normally draw for a tree or treeline. Maybe it could be modified to add some randomness.

                  Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

                    The segment size sets the minimum size if you move fast enough you get larger arcs...Capture.PNGYou can also set the segment length on the fly...
