Modelling trees in Openstudios

Hi there!

I am quite new to Openstudios. I am currently modelling an existing building that is surrounded by dense trees in certain areas and less dense trees in others which creates good shade for the building. I wanted to use shading surfaces to model the trees, is this the best way to do it? Is it possible to adjust the transparency of the shading surfaces so it better resembles the actual situation? Any help is welcome.
