The library is full of great plant symbols and furniture to create a beautiful plan. The training is great, from the book, and dvd, to you tub videos and live. Once you get to a point that you can make custom objects, you're flying. Adding Color makes for an amazing presentation document and way cleaner than coloring by hand. I was so excited when they rolled out the Sketchup plugin and modeling library. > > **Cons**: I would love to see quicker roll out of modern and updated outdoor living features and paver/stone products. Our drawings do need to reflect the trends. > > This is a great option for creating landscape plans. It fills the niche market where you don't want to by AutoCAD and create everything from scratch, but you need something more than off the shelf garden design software. ----- ### "Simple is Best" — 4.0/5 > **Marty** | *28 September 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Estimating software is great and simple. Dynascape Design as well and is a good transition software if you are drawing on napkins etc. It is a 'dumbed down' version on CAD and much easier to learn. > > **Cons**: It does have it's inefficiencies and negatives as far as using for larger projects and multiple page printing in which you may look at a more complex drawing software. > > Overall it has been good. ----- ### "Dynascape review" — 3.0/5 > **Janine** | *16 September 2021* | Design | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is Landscape specific software which is what I want and need. Scaling site/survey plans into the software. Export/import Autocad function is essential to collaborating with architects. > > **Cons**: Symbols/ Figures that need to be added: Trampoline figure, Septic bed layer for drawing dimensions(Also Arch accessory label in Figures for septic), Water meter symbol, Electrical outlet symbol, Gas hookup symbol (for bbq, firetables etc), Sliding barn style door Rectangular pools with bathing ledge ; ie fiberglass pools Rectangular pools with various stair options Modern firetables in figures including 2D – round, square and rectangular…. Dekko style Better pergolas- modern styles in figures including 2D Kitchens components for 2D Generally, updates to all 2D figures to add more modern designs (ie 2D arbours, sheds, pergolas,gates); Very outdated styles. Better Fence symbols; amend Fence\_B to look similar to autocad style with “x” evenly spaced along line. The existing Fence\_A looks like too much like property line. Hatch patterns: add a selection of Techobloc pavers that insert accurate/to-scale in the drawing. This would make paver layout documentation much easier to create. Techobloc hatch patterns Techobloc Pavers symbols Rinox as well Enhancements: When rotating a drawing, can there be an option for text leader line to remain horizontal? Text labels don't rotate with the drawing when rotated. Have a Newsletter giving tips and tricks based on common questions Dynascape colour /pattern options are very limited; stone, accessories etc. > > Overall good. ----- ### "Great Design & Estimating Software" — 4.0/5 > **Len** | *28 September 2021* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Hand drawn look and feel of printed designs always look professional via proper line weights and figures. Excellent symbol libraries specific to landscape design. Good integration with SketchUp and a fantastic 3D library. Tied into Manage360 for quick and accurate estimating - a system that allows you to properly recover overhead. A Change Order system that is critical to collecting project extras that often are left on the table. > > **Cons**: The interface is dated and somewhat clunky, but it works. Not great for very large projects. Horticopia plant pictures are not great or useful. > > DynaSCAPE Design and Sketch3D are excellent tools that help us sell large projects because is look professional and helps client visualize our ideas. The estimating system along with Change Orders has made us better at estimating accurately and more profitable as a company. ----- ### "Dynascape Review" — 4.0/5 > **Seth** | *24 September 2021* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the plant libraries and export functions for quantifying and bidding. I also like the look of finished color drawing without having to spend hours coloring. I also like the ease of adding shadows in Color to give the 2D plan depth. I also like how the software works with SketchUp. > > **Cons**: I wish the software was more customizable for individual users as far as shortcuts and custom libraries for plants and symbols. I know you can create your own symbols and shortcuts but it is a cumbersome and complicated process compared with other design software. I also really wish you were able to add and subtract nodes on lines and polygons and combine and extract shapes more easily. And while the color line fill in mode is great, it only recognizes the correct area to fill in about 10% of the time, making hand tracing of shapes before going to Color necessary, which takes a good amount of time on a large plan. I also do not understand why you can't show dimensions on color plans. It would also be great to fix the building tool so you don't have to worry about what length line you start on so the building will actually close properly. It would also be nice to have more and updated construction details for landscape products in the industry, or be able to import them for construction details instead of having to draw them. > > Overall Dynascape has been a great tool for me to sell Landscape projects. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/275714/dynascape?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/275714/dynascape) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
