Sophie, you are correct, The garden plant objects can all be achieved using all versions, but it is the customised fill paterrn for the patio that is not available in all versions.

Why is this project limited to Professional and I assume Premium versions. It looks to me that these objects are also in Basic version.

Here is another example of a 2D garden design using Visual Building Professional:

I found an old project with some steel work frame in it. This was created from the standard I beam profiles catalogue. Its easy to create your own stanchions and beams.

Applicable to Visual Building Pro / Premium (needs extrusion tool to extrude I beams from 2D profiles)

There are some plants and trees in the basic catalogue. These are available as both 3D objects and 2D objects for the 3d Views and also 2D symbols in the 2D plan view:

The above image shows 3D Plant objects which are visible in both 3D and 2D views. The alternative 3D Photo objects however are only visible in the 3D view.

There are also some additional plant / tree 3D photo catalogues available. And of course you can also import 3ds plant / tree objects from other sources.

Are there graphics for garden design, trees, bushes etc that can be applied to a plan?..thanks..M
