I just don't find that space inviting at all. However, if you really want to do something similar then I would conduct a search on Islamic patterns and maybe after viewing several dozen images you'll obtain some meaningful inspiration for your garden design.

It would still be nice to see a site plan just to have a look at what you have to work with in terms of the general size and shape of the available space.

You can find more blocks, both 2D and 3D, at the Cad Block Exchange Network.

John,
I do not mean the trees but the design of the floor, anyway I am trying to set up the scales but still not working?
do you know some other websites for more blocks?
thanks a lot

Simple. Start creating your own. No time like the present.

FYI...the image above seems a little too crowded with plantings for my taste. It looks like it is trying to discourage people from entering rather than encourage. No private spaces either. What if a person wanted to go there to be alone with their thoughts?

It's not a problem if the materials not available. The school will handle this, for now I am trying to fit some green area inside the plan but not working. I downloaded some blocks from this website some from others. What I can do if I like idea from design and do not have blocks for it?
see this pic. (i hope get downloaded).

any

Ideas

It sounds like you are attempting to do this entirely in 3D. OK.

Where did you get the 3D block that is giving you trouble when it comes to inserting it?

Yes, this website doesn't make it easy to upload drawings. You should have been able to PM me unless there is some rule that says you need a minimum number of posts before you can avail yourself of that option. You cannot email me because I don't normally display my email address and when I do make it available it is for a limited time like 15 minutes then I remove it.

You are in the Middle East. OK. Then shouldn't you be using materials that can be easily obtained locally? You must have some idea what those types of materials are don't you? It does not make sense to be specifying materials that are not easily available due to time and cost considerations.

John,
You are too kind , many thanks to you Smile

I will use auto cad, metric, i tried to use the reference option to change the blocks scale but it didn't work, I hope to use the 3d blocks and could find all blocks I need and use the same scale.
sorry I meant 3.2 m diameter for the Gazebo.
I have the outline and trued to attach it but there is a problem and tried to contact you through private msg or email but could not too!
I would like to use paver or blue-stone and river pebbles :).
I used to type US because I just came from Los Angeles to the Middle East.
The project in American School here in the Middle East. Smile

It sounds like you will be working in metric units. Are you using a metric template? If the default template you are using is set up to use imperial units you could run into problems inserting metric blocks. The same goes for using a metric template while trying to utilize blocks based upon imperial units.

Do you know how to use the Reference option of the Scale command? That could be a possible solution.

Many blocks one finds on the Internet are 2D only although the number of available 3D blocks grows greater each passing day. 3D is the future and the future is now.

A 2D block cannot be converted to 3D until it is exploded. Then you would create a 3D block from the 2D geometry just like you would any 3D object.

If your longest side is 24m how can you have a gazebo with a 32m diameter?

Have you at least laid out your 2D plan view of the garden yet? If not I would get to it immediately.

Will you be using pavers for walkways or stone flags (ex. - bluestone)? Or will the walkways be some other material like stone dust or river pebbles or rock?

I won't be of much help when it comes to rendering your final 3D layout because I my type of work does not require the use of renderings even though I do work half the time in 3D.

John,
You are too kind , many thanks to you Smile
