Reese S
Owner
4.0

Reese: Hi, this is Reese. I'm the owner of a landscape company. And I would give DynaSCAPE four out of five stars. For more reviews like this, click below. Okay, so before DynaSCAPE I used AutoCAD. Really just from a cost perspective it was too expensive for what I needed to do. I chose DynaSCAPE because it was introduced to me through my college courses, so I was fairly familiar with how to use it, and that's ultimately why I chose it. DynaSCAPE's really easy to get used to, easy to learn. It's CAD based, so I was used to that. It's industry specific to the landscaping industry, so that also helps. For anyone trying to use DynaSCAPE or considering using DynaSCAPE I would get on YouTube or some other review sites, watch some videos, see if it's meant for you.

Swapnil M
Architect & BIM Manager
5.0

Swapnil: My name is Swapnil. I'm an architect. And I give AutoCAD a score of five out of five. For more reviews, click down here. We use AutoCAD in our company, me personally for working on architectural projects, mainly creating drawings on large-scale projects as well as small-scale projects. The problems that we generally are solving with AutoCAD are to do with checking surveys, 3D surveys, as well as 2D surveys, and measuring distances on all of these drawing elements. I love AutoCAD because of the speed. Unlike other tools which offer 3D features, AutoCAD is fast, it is quick to load. It is very smooth, and the toolset is unique as well as powerful enough to get each and any job done every time. The only thing that I don't really like or would like Autodesk to improve upon is adding more 3D features into AutoCAD. There's already a toolset called AutoCAD Architecture, but I feel it needs to be a little bit more evolved to show a little bit more realistic elements because all the other softwares are moving to that stage.
