4.1 Learning to use GardenCAD - enrol in an online course

Tip Unlike others, this module is not a project as such, there is nothing for you to deliver, just read the material below and, when you have done that, take the online course on using GardenCAD Pro which you will find on our eLearning web site http://www.landscapetutor.net. You will need a user name and password to access the material. The opening page of the landscapetutor.net site is shown below.

Professional landscape CAD drawings

The figures below shows GardenCAD software in action. Note in the first figure, the use of layers to separate various parts of the design and in the second, a complex symbol representing a tree with extensive extensive hatch patterning. In these examples, to make the designs stand out, we have set the screen background to white. In the previous exercise, you were working with the background set to black - which we recommend as it is much kinder on the eyes.
