Professional
Landscape Design Software
Realtime Landscaping Plus provides a comprehensive set of tools for designing and visualizing your landscape. Easily add houses, deck, fences, paths, walkways, grass, cement, edging, beauty bark, patios, retaining walls, and more.
Utilizing the latest advances in 3D graphics technology, you can now experience your landscaping ideas with realistic lighting, shadows, wind, and other effects, all in real-time.
You have full control over your viewpoint. Whether you want to examine the petals of your favorite flower, or get a bird’s eye view of your entire property, this is a great way to spot problems before you begin construction.
All editing can be done in either top-down or 3D perspective views, and you can switch back and forth at any time. The unlimited undo feature makes it easy to try new things.
Powerful Presentation Tools
Professional landscape designers can create highly realistic, real-time 3D presentations of their proposals. Create a movie and show your clients a virtual walk-through of their property using your proposed design changes. Using your laptop PC, you can make changes right at the jobsite.
Using the Print to Scale feature, you can print precise to-scale drawings of your landscape designs. Large drawings automatically span multiple pages, and crop marks show you where they join together. Laser and ink-jet printers are supported, and output can be color or black & white.
Use A Pre-Built House Or Design Your Own
Use the wizard to drop in a pre-built house, or create your own. Add houses simply by drawing their outline: the walls, trim, and even the roof are all created automatically.
Both single and multi-story houses are supported. Add doors, windows, porch lights, change the siding and roofing materials, select between gable and hip roof styles – all with just a few mouse clicks.
Only the exterior of houses are modeled -- not the interior. This makes houses much easier to build and edit than traditional home design programs.
Import Digital Photographs
All of the features of Realtime Landscaping Photo are included, so you can import a digital photograph of your house and design the surrounding landscape. All common image formats are supported, including JPG, BMP, PNG, and TGA. This is a fast and easy alternative to a full 3D design.
Add Plants, Trees, and Shrubs
Realtime Landscaping Plus comes with over 3600 highly detailed landscaping plants, including trees, shrubs, flowers, water garden, cactus, palms, and more. Plant information includes common name, botanical name, planting zones, and size.
Using the Plant Growth tool, you can preview what your landscape design will look like after a period of time: anywhere from three months to more than 20 years of growth.
Design With Slopes & Hills
Create slopes, hills, trenches, raised flower beds, and more. Slopes can be simple (single rise in terrain), or complex (multiple rises in terrain, each with its own rise/run).
Adjust the height of the terrain at any point using exact dimensions. Easily add straight or curved retaining walls, building pads, and other features. All of the tools work in real-time, so you get instant feedback on your changes.
Design a New Deck
The built-in deck designer makes it easy to create single and multi-level decks. Creating a deck is as simple as drawing its outline – the boards, support posts, and railing are all added automatically. Curved deck, deck railing, and wrap-around stairs are also supported.
Choose from a variety of decking materials including painted, stained, and natural wood styles.
Add Privacy and Decorative Fencing
Adding fencing is as easy as drawing a line. Choose from a wide variety of materials such as oak, cedar, pine, and over 100 more. Picket, ranch, and privacy styles are supported, and you can create your own custom styles.
Use Dimensions For Accurate Size And Scale
When creating houses, decks, and other objects, the length of each edge is automatically displayed. This helps ensure that what you add in Realtime Landscaping Plus matches the dimensions of your property.
Advanced grid and angle snap tools make it easy to draw straight edges and perfect corners.
Create Material Lists and Project Estimates
Using the Project Material List feature, you can create a bill of materials, set item descriptions and prices, and export the result to Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet program.
Add Your Lot Boundaries
Mark off the dimensions of your property, setbacks, garden areas, and other important boundaries with just a few mouse clicks. Dimensions are visible in both top-down and perspective views.
Add Common Landscaping Objects
Make your landscape designs even more realistic with planters, gazebos, lawn furniture, ornaments, and more. Objects are highly detailed 3D models that look realistic from any angle.
Visualize Your Landscape Lighting
Walk through your landscape during various times of day, and even at night. Any lighting you place on your house, paths, pond, and surrounding landscaping will automatically come on at night. You control the size, orientation, color, and brightness of each light.
Design your landscape using spotlights to illuminate favorite trees, plants, and other landscaping. Narrow and broad beam spotlights are included.
Your Changes Are Visible Immediately
When editing an object, the available options are always displayed and can be edited in real-time. This means you don’t have to bring up a dialog box every time you want to make a change. Features such as this help make it easy to design your landscape using the software.
Grouping Makes Changes Easier
Grouping is the key to making large projects easy to manage. Surprisingly, this feature is left out of most landscaping software. For example, suppose you have finished working on your flower garden and want to design the surrounding landscaping. Simply select the objects in the flower garden and use the Group command. Now you can move and even rotate them as a single object.
Change Multiple Objects Simultaneously
You can select multiple objects and change their options all at once. This feature alone can save tons of time, especially with large landscape designs. Want to change a set of rocks to be marble instead of granite? Or perhaps you want to use different flowers in your garden? Simply select the ones you want to modify and make the change once.
Use English or Metric
The software can display dimensions in English or Metric. When entering distances, you can use English or Metric, regardless of which units you're using for display.
