DynaScape Sketch3D review
A focused SketchUp add-on for turning landscape designs into 3D presentations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
DynaScape Sketch3D is a SketchUp add-on for professional landscapers who need landscape-specific content in 3D presentations. Its library includes more than 1,000 models covering plants, trees, shrubs, ponds, pools, structures, rocks, and accessories. It also includes material textures for natural stone, pavers, and other surfaces, giving SketchUp users a focused way to represent landscape elements with more relevant components than a general modeling workflow may provide.
The product fits most closely into an existing DynaScape and SketchUp workflow. Designs can move from DynaScape Design to SketchUp through 2D-to-3D export, while compatibility with DynaScape Creator and AutoCAD supports drawing-based workflows. The CAD cleanup plugin is intended for imported CAD, DynaScape Design, or DynaScape Creator drawings, and the reload function can replace DynaScape figures or AutoCAD blocks with 3D components. These connections make Sketch3D more useful for teams already working across those applications than for users seeking an isolated design environment.
Pricing is structured around two subscriptions. The annual plan costs $50 per month with annual prepayment, while the monthly plan costs $59 per month with monthly billing. There is no free plan. Sketch3D is available for Windows and remains dependent on SketchUp, so it is best suited to SketchUp users who want a dedicated landscape component library, surface materials, and drawing cleanup tools. Users looking for a standalone landscape design suite or a platform beyond Windows should consider a different type of product.
