"Hi Karsten, yes I meant a 2D graphic in plan view, saved as a component so I can generate a report to get the right quantities. I know what you mean about the 2D face-me graphics, they are an irritation and move around from where you’ve placed the…"
"Hi Jane,
Yes, the Garden Planner is truly a simple software compared to Sketchup (I like to call it Ketchup! ((~8). I can easily see why you wouldn't use it after getting established with Sketchup. I wouldn't even say it has plant lists, just genera…"

"Hello Karsten,
I too hanker after Vectorworks but use Sketchup.. If you have a sketch of a design you want to put in 3D you can import a jpg of your drawing into Sketchup. If it's to scale you make the faces 'Xray' and draw over the sketch, then us…"
