Method one: Multireplicating. Take one tree, multireplicate it so that each new tree will be positioned an X amount of units further on the X or Y axis then the last one. Then select the resulting row of trees and multireplicate the row so that each row will be positioned an X amount units further on the the X or Y axis (if you used X first, use Y. If you used Y first, use X) then the last one. Result: a square or rectangle of evenly distributed trees Method two: Randomizing Take one tree, multireplicate it to the amount of trees you need, but don't have the duplicates move, rotate or change size. Then 2D randomize the trees (randomize rotation too if you like for more variety) and voila, a rough patch or randomly positioned trees. Method three: Combination Execute method 1, then use the randomizer from method 2 to randomize the tree distribution, again rotating can help a lot for giving some visual variety.
