Nice one chris, looks like you've got the start of a potentially very useful tool
Have you had a look into procedural city generation and L-systems? I had a look into it as a potential tool while at uni but am in the big world of employment without time for maya at the minute

knew I had the links, here you go:

Look at the 'Its all in your head' threads as it shows the development of a procedural city generator for a new game called subversion

Free downloadable book on L-systems written by the guy who developed it, Lindenmeyer.
I think that the paintfx tool also uses a variation of this for creating differing random plants.
