What DynaScape Sketch3D is
DynaScape Sketch3D is a SketchUp add-on for professional landscapers who want to present landscape designs in 3D. It can turn 2D designs into presentations showing shadows, angles, and sightlines, and users can export designs from DynaScape Design to SketchUp for rendering. The library contains more than 1,000 landscape models, including plants, trees, shrubs, accessories, outdoor kitchens, water features, pools, and planters. A reload function replaces DynaScape figures and AutoCAD blocks with 3D components. Material textures cover categories such as decking, foliage, mulch and turf, pavers, stone, and concrete. A SketchUp CAD Cleanup Plugin automates drawing fixes such as closing gaps, correcting overlaps, breaking lines, and creating faces. Components can be downloaded by opening a link from a picture on the site. DynaScape also offers online training with certified instructors and lists SketchUp courses in its store.
