The Tree Sliders
 

Tree section of dialog

Control  Action/effect 
Species  Determines the basic shape of the tree and leaves. Species templates are stored as TDD files, found in the Presets directory. 
Height  Changes the overall height of the tree. The percentage is relative to the initial size preset by the Species TDD file. 
Width  Changes the overall width of the tree. The percentage is relative to the initial size preset by the Species TDD file. 
Fidelity  Controls how many facets are used to make the tree. Select low fidelity for fastest manipulation, high fidelity for best image quality. 

NoteThe Height and Width sliders do not affect the size of the leaves. You can use this feature to change the size of the leaves relative to the rest of the tree (mainstem, crown, branches, and limbs). Use the Carrara size controls, in the Properties drawer on the right side of the screen, if you want to affect the size of the entire tree, including leaves.
