ok. i need to put together a lanscaping plan; i have bunch of 2D tree-blocks that i will turn into families; my question is: can i make a parametric block/family where entire drawing will scale to the # i'll put in? for exapmle; if my tree (see pic attached) is 10', can i make a parameter size or scale; put (2) and the drawing would jump from 10'to 20'.  Does anyone know if its possible?

Yes, the trick is nesting. create one plant family with your dwg blocks in it, then open a new plant family and load this into it. now it will scale when you change the height of the tree.

Now load this family into your project.

You'll see you can enter a height for the tree.  Whatever height you enter the tree will automatically scale as required...
