Looking for suggestion on landscape design software. 3d rendering,
fly-overs, etc. needed. Stand alone applications and/or third party
addons for commercial packages (ie: AutoCAD, Microstation, etc.) are all
acceptable. This system would ultimatly be used for golf course design.

Thank you.

Yes, I use Landcadd everyday and it definately is a superior and well
tailored product for large commercial projects. The stand alone
irrigation designer is also well equiped for large caliber jobs.

For landscape design, the best is LandCadd . For golf course design,
I would use LandCadd (3rd party vendor for AutoCad) and a good
irrigation software program from Toro (a version of LandCadd's
irrigation module) or Rainbird. Both are excellent.

Landcadd used to have specific landscaping modules that were pretty good from
what I understand. Since it's buy out by Eagle Point I haven't seen what it's
like.

A person who works with trees and designs should know the difference
between ring porous and diffuse porous trees. They should know what the
symplast is and what it does to select the proper trees for the right
location. I do not know of any software to show that to you except
this:
