Land F/X is a valuable addition to AutoCAD for landscape designers and landscape architects. The feature that I use most often is the irrigation tools, which allow me to create irrigation designs and verify that the water coverage is sufficient on a particular plan. The integration between Land F/X and CAD is seamless, and there have been significant improvements made in this regard over the past few years. In addition, the plant library is extensive, and the program makes it easy to track quantities of plant types, even on very large-scale projects. Most of my peers seem to use the program primarily for this purpose - and it does this job exceedingly well. I also enjoy the quick tutorials that are publicly available on the Land F/X website. Their support and education is great and much appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see more visualization capabilities in the future that allow users to create rendered plans. This would allow designers to increase the quality of the visuals and share plans with clients in a way that is easier for them to understand. Having the ability to quickly create a custom rendering without pulling the plan into Photoshop would elevate the software to the next level. Land F/X currently does have options for colorization and custom palette editing which is useful, but more loose and conceptual rendering type options would help to convey fluid concepts for discussion as opposed to technical drawings. Another "negative" is that I have not explored many of the other tools available. Land F/X seems to have a huge amount of capability, but having so many different tools to explore can be overwhelming for a casual user. Perhaps the addition of a "lite" version with only the most common tools would be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
