Typical landscape designs created with gCADPlus
This movie showcases the application of gCADPlus in a metric setting to deliver comprehensive drawings for a childcare center.

The layout sheet includes photographs of the plant species utilized in the design, a plant schedule, and enlarged views of specific areas of the design.
Tip: The images shown on the layout sheet are taken from SppDb, a plant database application that’s designed to work with gCADPlus. Buy gCADPlus and get a free copy of SppDb.
We look at landscape design using the USA (Imperial) setting, where distances are measured in decimal feet. The movie covers changing the design view, zooming, panning, calculating areas of garden beds, identifying plant symbols, switching to layout view, and adjusting the model’s view. Finally, we print the design using a PDF Writer. To view a PDF of the design shown in the video, click the image below.
This movie demonstrates how a landscape designer, working on a project in Texas, USA, managed to save time by automating the creation of a plant schedule.
Typically, designers begin with measurements obtained during a site visit. This movie film illustrates the steps involved in transforming a ‘mud map’ into a comprehensive base plan and landscape design using gCADPlus.
Many newcomers to gCADPlus are transitioning from manual drawing to CAD for drafting plans. This video demonstrates how to convert a hand-drawn landscape plan into a CAD design. The featured garden space is compact yet filled with features. It uses the line command for precise site definition, the block command to generate large pavers, a wooden bridge over a small pond with riparian plants, and a pergola angled at 45 degrees within the rectangular area, among other elements. It also includes a comparison of manual drafting to CAD drafting with gCADPlus.

What others say
“Botanica Garden Styling is a boutique landscape architecture business in Melbourne. In the past, plans were hand-drawn, and CAD work was outsourced when required … until we discovered gCADPlus landscape design software. Admittedly, we were slightly nervous about picking up this new skill but having a landscape design software program specifically tailored for garden design work is fantastic.
For what you get, the program is of excellent value and the support is second to none. I regularly contact Keith with queries and in no time at all he has created a video and put it on Facebook for all of us to learn from. The tutorials are excellent, and we have gone from no knowledge of drawing or design programs to star pupils. We probably haven’t touched the sides of what the program offers, but within quite a brief period have mastered the basics and can produce accurate, attractive, and useful plans for clients and landscapers for quoting purposes.”
“For the solo garden designer or small landscape design-build firm like mine, no other landscape cad-design package offers so many features in such a solid package for such a small cost. For small companies like ours, spending $2,000+ on design software doesn’t make sense, especially when that software comes with additional yearly or monthly maintenance fees that add hundreds of dollars more per year to that cost.

I have used gCADPlus since 2016. From day one, it has been a trusted and reliable partner to my landscape design business. Simple to use with great support tools available. Management has equally impressed me with a high level of support and super quick response to any inquiry over the years. Highly recommended. Theo A
