ShootPlantPlanner

Work directly from SketchUp

ShootPlantPlanner works fully integrated into SketchUp. You design your planting plan directly in your 3D model without switching between different programs. This means faster work, fewer errors, and a clear workflow.

Pre-formatted symbols & labels

No more manual drawing. With one click, you place neatly designed planting circles at the correct scale. They automatically adjust when you modify the design. This not only saves time but also ensures a consistent and professional result.

Automatic quantities & order lists

ShootPlantPlanner® automatically counts the number of placed plants and converts this into clear plant lists. Perfect for quotes, orders, and communication with growers or clients. Everything is correct, without any calculation work.

Clear labels and legends

The plug-in automatically generates readable labels and legends that match your design. Whether you work for clients, contractors, or fellow designers: everyone understands the planting plan at a glance.

3D visualization with realistic heights

Besides 2D plans, you can also view your planting directly in 3D, including height differences. This gives your design more depth and helps you better estimate how the garden or outdoor space will develop over time.

Fully customizable style and colors

Easily adjust colors, line widths, and layout to perfectly match your brand. Effortlessly create both colorful presentations and clean black-and-white plans for technical documentation.

‘Face-Me’ Plant Shapes

With the new ‘Face-Me’ plant shapes, you really bring your planting plan to life in SketchUp. With a single click, you can switch between technical plant circles and realistic 3D plant representations that automatically face the camera. This way, your plants always look full, recognizable, and appealing, no matter the viewing angle.

This smart display is ideal for presentations and design reviews. Your client immediately sees how the planting shapes the space, without the need for heavy or complex 3D models. This keeps your SketchUp model light and responsive while maintaining strong visual impact.

Easy to use

Additionally, the ‘Face-Me’ plant shapes can be easily toggled on or off depending on your workflow. Work technically and clearly while designing, and switch effortlessly to a more realistic view when presenting or visualizing your design.

In short: with ‘Face-Me,’ you combine speed, performance, and compelling visuals in one smart feature — perfect for garden designers and landscape architects who want to show that extra bit of flair.

One SketchUp model, multiple planting views

With ShootPlantPlanner®, you work from one central SketchUp model and effortlessly generate multiple planting views. Create a clear 2D planting plan, a technical overview, and a realistic 3D visualization for presentations — all from the same model.

There’s no need to duplicate or rebuild your design. Every view stays linked to the original model, so changes are updated automatically. This saves time, reduces errors, and ensures consistent communication with clients, contractors, and suppliers.
