What it is
DynaScape Design is Windows software for producing detailed landscape drawings with an artistic, hand-drawn look. It labels design elements and automatically counts plants and materials for a job. Its online Horticopia-powered plant database contains over 10,000 plants, with full-color images and search by plant characteristics, bloom, or color. The symbol library includes over 1,500 to-scale symbols and allows custom symbols and libraries. Designs can start from imported property survey dimensions or preset templates with predefined sheet size, scale, line styles, text styles, and layers. DWG and DXF imports are supported. DynaScape lists Color and Sketch3D as add-ons; Sketch3D works with Design and SketchUp to create 3D renderings. The monthly subscription is $158 a month, and the annual subscription is $1,599 a year with annual prepayment. There is no free plan. Design runs on Windows; a Mac requires Windows installed, with Boot Camp and Parallels listed as options. Internet access is required for updates and the online plant database.
