Land03417.pngSpecifying the tree protection zone

The tree protection zone is the area around the tree that should be fenced off, or preserved, to protect the tree. The tree protection zone moves with the tree trunk location. The zone can be irregular or circular; irregular zones can be reshaped. The TPZ Area displays the calculated area for the entire tree protection zone.

To specify the tree protection zone:

From the Object Info palette of a selected existing tree, select the type of Tree Protection.
