DynaScape is beginner friendly!

Our experience with DynaScape so far has been great! When I have a question I contact our sales manager and either he will help resolve the issue or he sends my issue to the support department and they are pretty quick to help with the issue. We have only had the 1 big issue with the 1 image file that wasn't compatible with Design Color and just 2 minor questions about the program/licenses. There has been nothing to complain about when using DynaScape. My team loves it.

PROS

What I liked most about this software is that it was easy for my Jr Landscape Designer, who had never used Dynascape before, do a whole drawing and colour within a week and a half.

CONS

There is nothing I don't like about this program. It provides beautiful rendered drawings and our clients are always surprised by how detailed the drawings actually are. We did have a small hiccup within a week of having the product but the support line was so fast to catch what our issue was. It was to do with a file we downloaded on google and input into the design color program. Nothing to do specifically with DynaScape itself.

Reason for choosing DynaSCAPE

We chose DynaScape because it was the program I learned a while back while in school so I wanted to be able to implement it into my company. So far it has been the right choice because my team enjoys working with DynaScape and they love seeing their own finished product.

Professional-looking Designs with Hand Rendered look

Dynascape has helped me to provide my clients and installers with clear, well-labeled, and aesthetically pleasing designs to both help sell and install my designs.

PROS

My favorite part, and what impresses others the most, is the aesthetic of the final product, particularly with DynascapeColor.

CONS

There are a few clunky functions that I wish were simpler, from my experience with other design softwares. One of those things is the ability to add a vertex point to a poly line, without having to redraw the whole thing. This gets especially cumbersome when I have to redraw a large lawn or bed due to a small adjustment.

Reason for choosing DynaSCAPE

Since Dynascape is geared toward the landscaping industry, it is more tailored to meet my needs than a multipurpose design software.

Dynascape review

Overall good.

PROS

It is Landscape specific software which is what I want and need. Scaling site/survey plans into the software. Export/import Autocad function is essential to collaborating with architects.

CONS

Symbols/ Figures that need to be added: Trampoline figure, Septic bed layer for drawing dimensions(Also Arch accessory label in Figures for septic), Water meter symbol, Electrical outlet symbol, Gas hookup symbol (for bbq, firetables etc), Sliding barn style door Rectangular pools with bathing ledge ; ie fiberglass pools Rectangular pools with various stair options Modern firetables in figures including 2D – round, square and rectangular…. Dekko style Better pergolas- modern styles in figures including 2D Kitchens components for 2D Generally, updates to all 2D figures to add more modern designs (ie 2D arbours, sheds, pergolas,gates); Very outdated styles. Better Fence symbols; amend Fence_B to look similar to autocad style with “x” evenly spaced along line. The existing Fence_A looks like too much like property line. Hatch patterns: add a selection of Techobloc pavers that insert accurate/to-scale in the drawing. This would make paver layout documentation much easier to create. Techobloc hatch patterns Techobloc Pavers symbols Rinox as well Enhancements: When rotating a drawing, can there be an option for text leader line to remain horizontal? Text labels don't rotate with the drawing when rotated. Have a Newsletter giving tips and tricks based on common questions Dynascape colour /pattern options are very limited; stone, accessories etc.

Overall experience has been great. It is a complete program with only minor issues needing resolution.

PROS

Job costing and the ability to give plants a separate overhead markup from materials

CONS

No being able to delete accounts and estimates with jobs attached. I understand why, but feel there should be a work around.

Reason for choosing DynaSCAPE

Because I had been using LMN for 3+ years and felt they weren't moving towards adding what Dynascape already had

Reasons for switching to DynaSCAPE

Job costing and separate overhead markup for plants and materials.
