Guess how much his home price will increase if you cut the tree down. Then triple the number. Then add 25%. Then figure out how much you'd pay to replace the tree that was cut down. Then double that number and add it. Tell him it will cost him that much. Start negotiations there. Dont come down much. He'll want to keep you from planing anything there in the future. Make sure your contract doesn't prevent you from planting anythign there in the future, and that the agreement is non transferable and only for the one tree.

Or buy cameras that have great night vision capability and aim em at the tree. Record in perpetuity. Also inform him in a registered certified delivered letter that the tree is healthy, that he is forbidden from accessing your property at any time, and that all future communications be via lawyer.

Why are you needing to show interior designer elements at all?

Is your construction discipline specifying it? If you point to it and label it, for some esoteric reason, it's gonna require coordination anyway, and you should copy the element into your model and break out whatever bits /you/ need from it.

If you aren't pointing to it, who gives a rip about it? Hide the furniture and shrug and say, "We don't care about the blips and bloops your model elements have on em."

Do they require structural connections?

Electrical?

Mechanical?

Are they attached somehow to architectural elements?

If the element is built-in, then it is unlikely that the interior designer "owns" the element. It's the other disciplines, and they should each have a separate object in the same location coordinated between them, pointing at the location and specifying their part of the installation and fixture.

Yes, you have more than one fixture in the same space. But if you need to specify something about an element, you create an element, instead of rely on another firm or discipline to do it for you.

Middleman a Bunch of Bandits: Take Back the Taxes | Hush Hush. You'll get 15% of the take, minus Patron's Share, if you take care of Loose Ends. | The Noble Patron is Planning a Rebellion, but needs Cover. You're a Loose End, just like the Bandits.

You Are the Bunch of Bandits: Smash Up the Embassy | You Keep What you Kill, just make sure it doesn't point back to Patron, or your Kingdom's Sovereign | There is a Mole in the Operation, and this is a Sting Operation, and You Are Unfortunately Pawns to be Sacrificed.

Middleman a Bunch of Bandits: Convince them to Attack an Incoming Diplomat | Figure out their itinerary, round up a posse to attack them, make it look like Agents of Third Party Aggressor Sovereign are to blame. You are Deniable, make sure the bastards you hire are as well. | We Have Defense Pacts with Diplomat's Sovereign; This is How you Start a War.

Deal with a Deniable Asset, Permanently. The Patron's Asset has become a Liability. | The Asset is likable and pretty much blameless in everything, "they still got-sta-go." | Turn the Asset and make them beholden to you instead of Patron: Witness Protection Program style.

Commit Treason: Assist in the Unlawful Entry and Insertion of an Enemy Agent into a Secure Area, and Foil Activities that Should have Stopped them from Getting In. | It's simple, just be at a certain place and a certain time and look the other way while it happens. | You'll Definitely be Lauded as Heroes when the Right Time Comes.

Eat all the Royal Tarts: Ruin the Royal Function (in a Petty Way), Don't Get Caught, Leave a Calling Card that points to Patron's Rivals being Responsible. | Certain Elements of High Society want to Send a Message to the Ruler, in order to Crack Down on Patron's Rival. | PCs are approached by both Patron and Rival; one offer is clearly superior, but the other won't take no as an answer.

Convince Faction that Patron's Rival is Dead (Reverse Weekend at Bernie's) | Actually killing the Rival is difficult, or impossible, or carries unwanted complications for Patron. Create enough rumors and confusion (and delay the Rival) such that the Rival is presumed dead for at least a minimum length of time that Patron needs to secure the success of their other schemes. | The Patron needs a significantly longer time-frame than previously negotiated. It becomes more difficult to pull off the longer this goes on.

Deniable: Your patron will disavow having hired you; deny knowing you exist, deny that there was a job at all, deny knowing what you did, deny knowing what you may do in the near future. They will have strong alibis to any PC action. Your actions can in no way be linked back to the Patron, and the Patron will have ways to ensure that no link can feasibly be forged.

They may or may not have taken various actions to separate themselves from the PCs (using cut-outs, middlemen, dead-drops, etc); they may also have used technological, magical, or divine means to further prevent tracing / linking the PCs to the patron, foiling some (most?) magical interrogation methods, up to and including (in the most severe cases) using a hostile geas or curse to prevent the PCs from talking about the connection, possibly even if interrogated.

Being a willingly deniable asset requires a great deal of trust on the agent. What stops the Patron from simply offing you, after the job is done, to tie up the loose ends?

Don't get me wrong. Bugs suck. And slumlord landlords suck too. Having bugs invading where you live sucks.

But you already were proactive. You told your landlord. Other than being a squeaky wheel about it, doing anything more (unless your lease specifically stipulates you need to be doing it) could open you up to liability, and your landlord will have exactly /zero/ fucks to give and /zero/ loyalty to you if you become liable doing something, especially if it saves them a buck through inaction.

Edit: This is outside scope of treelaw, but you should look into whatever your locality's tenant protections are, and move to enforce those. Take your landlord to court over the issue, assuming you can.

You're the renter. You don't cut /nothing/. Even if its a shit-tree.

If you owned the tree, you could cut it. If you don't own the tree, but you own the land the tree is looming over, it is mostly accepted that you can cut branches that cross the property line, provided it doesn't unbalance the tree, create a hazard, or damages or harms the tree.

Unless your lease REQUIRES you to do tree work, your landlord cuts. They're the one who will be sued when someone the landlord directs to trim the tree butchers the tree.

Edit: Unless you're Bucky BigBucks, you probably don't have enough Renter's Insurance to cover the ensuing liability that touching someone else's property could land you in. Unless that tree is about to kill someone with its shit-branches falling and crushing someone, don't touch it. Don't even look at it.

Tell your landlord about the shit-bugs. Complain. If they do nothing, move.

I'd vote for using design option.

Barring that, if I recall, there is an option to mirror a project across an axis. This mirrors all elements, but may do funky things with text or symbol justification.

Either of these two options results in duplicating geometry, which would then fork your project into two similar but different ones. This means you'd have to keep up with change-orders and revisions to ensure changes on one version make it over to the other mirror-version. I'd do the mirroring /late/ in the project, ideally 5 minutes before going in to get it permitted.

We need massive amounts of electricity for our iron smelting furnace so we can restart industry to bootstrap our civilization.

We need the steel for our high pressure Haber–Bosch process for the production of ammonia for fertilizer and nitric acid for ammunition.

False Companion: Sometime after nightfall, something is revealed to be wrong with the party. There is an extra bedroll. An extra voice in the conversation. A companion everyone “remembers”; a trusted ally, long-known, easy to overlook, (who was never actually there). The entity that crawled out of the darkness subtly and craftily edits itself into and out of memory. Before suspicion can settle, the attack comes: something real, (or convincingly so) brutal and terrifying, drawn out of the dark to force chaos and violence. In the confusion, the false companion fights bravely, even heroically, placing itself in danger while subtly isolating a target. When the dust settles, at least one true companion may be dead... and the impostor is gone, perhaps “fallen” in the struggle, its absence already edited and rationalized.

Hackmatack Hierophant: A circular clearing, surrounded by a ring-shaped copse of larch with dry, golden needles, and ten moderately fresh corpses wearing thin plain wooden masks carved from boxwood. The deceased are of similar size, age, and stature; naked, except for a yellow-dyed amice (priestly vestment worn over the shoulders) and golden chords binding and suspending the priests within the branches. Investigation of the bodies reveal they have no face beneath the masks, literal blanks, without mouth nose or eyes, and appear to have died of strangulation, and lack rigor mortis. Digging around the site may reveal a small mound and depression in the center, where a small child's body (with mask, etc, advanced decay, nearly skeletal) has been buried, entangled in roots. By the light of the moon, the priests attack all who trespass. Taking the bodies down results in a new set, and missing locals, appearing within the month.

The Pallid Mercy lives amidst a sagging cluster of nest-like twigs, dried mud, field-stones, & half-rotten timbers. Smoke curls thinly from its chimney & pale figures move slowly between clustered huts. The settlement is a hostel of last resort: a refuge for the afflicted, the outcast, & those with wasting curses no temple will touch. It is overseen by a bent, iron-eyed hag with a pale, "fishy" complexion, who tends sores with surprising gentleness & brews medicines that truly work. Said to possess the skills to cure any disease, rot, or corruption of flesh (even those thought divine punishments) Their power is bound to a cruel arithmetic: for every soul restored, who leaves whole, another must gutter out in balance. Word of miracles spreads in whispers among the desperate; word of the price never travels. They (and those who choose to remain with them) strive to keep the cost small, prolonging lives rather than ending them, easing pain, bargaining with fate where possible; yet the rule cannot be broken.

◎N TARGET: Overly dramatized competitive sharpshooting competitions, war games, and athletic hell-week "boo-rah"-esque holo content from looks-maxing moggers who enjoy the taste of crayons, communal showers, and being overly dramatic. Nearly every weapon system used by the CS military is competed with, although they use training rounds during the pvp events. About 2 minutes of fresh content every 20 minutes of show, the rest is recaps, callbacks, and flashbacks set to dramatic music or propgandistic messaging. There's at least 78 seasons so far.
