KANSAS CITY, Mo. – March 3, 2008 – Drafix Software, the leading provider of landscape design software, has announced the latest version of its PRO Landscape™ design suite.
The new Version 14 includes many new features and enhancements for landscape designers, contractors and architects to take advantage of. “This new release is by far our best version ever,” says Pete Lord, President of Drafix Software.” “With its newest features and functions, PRO Landscape continues the tradition of being the standard in design software for landscape professionals that began over 15 years ago.”
The Ultimate in Design Flexibility
PRO Landscape is a design suite that offers the ultimate in design flexibility by offering six specific functions to help landscape contractors and designers with all aspects of any landscaping project.
Realistic Photo Imaging: PRO Landscape Image Editor is a sales and design tool that provides customers with a photo realistic presentation of the proposed project. PRO Landscape Image Editor allows you to create visual designs your customer can easily understand.
3D Photo Rendering: PRO Landscape also gives you the power to view your Image Editor Projects in 3D. You can zoom in and out, rotate your design, and show your customer your proposed design from any angle.
Easy-to-Use CAD: PRO Landscape Planner creates a professional 2D site plan that accurately represents the installation of plantings, sprinkler systems and hardscapes.
3D CAD Rendering: PRO Landscape gives you the power to view your CAD projects in 3D. You can actually turn your 2D CAD symbols into breathtaking 3D images that will rise out of the printed page.
Customer Proposals: PRO Landscape Proposal generates an accurate bid for the client directly from the design, eliminating errors and duplicated efforts. You can produce complete, professional looking proposals that include the quotation, materials lists, plant detail information, and much more.
Night & Holiday Lighting: PRO Landscape Image Editor includes night lighting that allows you to place landscape light fixtures and automatically illuminate the design. In addition, PRO Landscape includes holiday lighting to help you sell your holiday lighting designs.
Expanded Library
Version 14 of PRO Landscape now contains over 6000 of the industry’s best quality images. All images are cut out and ready to use in your designs. The updated Version 14 library includes plant material for all climate zones, hardscapes, water features, and more.
New Import/Export Options
PRO Landscape Version 14 is proud to announce the inclusion of RealDWG™ from Autodesk®. This allows PRO Landscape users to import and export to and from the latest AutoCAD® formats with ease, even AutoCAD 2008. RealDWG gives you the confidence of knowing that you have 100% compatibility with AutoCAD files.
New Hardscape Tools
PRO Landscape continues to be the best design tool for visualizing hardscape designs. Version 14 has added two new distinctive features to its hardscape repertoire. The first is the new freeform curve tool which allows the designer to create a wall in any shape they require. There is also a new paver tool that allows you to create astonishing looking paver sidewalks, patios or driveways in only one simple step.
New Coloring Options
Two new render modes have been added to PRO Landscape Planner in Version 14. Planner now contains six render modes that you can choose from to give your CAD project an artistic colored look. Designers can choose from Hand-Drawn, Pastel, Watercolor, and Photorealistic render modes. Now with Version 14 there are even more choices with the newly added Stylized and Colored Pencil modes. PRO Landscape users now have more rendering options to help create stunning looking CAD designs than ever before.
Enhanced 3D Capability
PRO Landscape contains the exclusive 3D feature set. This feature allows users to zoom in and out and rotate at any angle to view landscape designs from various perspectives. With the release of PRO Landscape Version 14, this 3D capability has been boosted to include the ability to directly edit objects in 3D.
