Hi!
I just have to share about this new soon to be released Plugin aimed at garden designers and landscape architects, created by Shoot Gardening, a plant database and garden design website.
I joined the ‘early adopters’ group and along with a group of other Garden designers and landscape architects, have been able to influence how it is developed and try it out.
I am delighted, it is an amazing tool that has really streamlined and speeded up my workflow creating planting plans. Currently it supplies named components from your plant lists created on Shoot, in basic plan and elevation formats. It is going through further development to give realistic 2d face me images so that you and your clients can really ‘see’ the planting.
It has dialogue windows within Sketchup that give you info about each plant and a count of how many you have in the model.
It also lets you create & export plant lists by total numbers of each plant or by quantity per bed, so that ordering and organising planting becomes really easy. And it integrates normally with Layout so producing planting plans is easy.
I’ve done a short demo screen recording (on dropbox)

I’m not sure that link is working, but the demo is on Shoot’s instagram page here https://www.instagram.com/p/DIA9-jFKUQv/
I have been dreaming about having something like this for 25 years!! I just wanted to share the news with you! (I am not affiliated with Shoot in any way apart from being a customer) In case you want to have a look -
