Demonstration Movies
Some potential CAD users prefer to watch rather than read. If you would like to see GardenCAD in action, click on any of the links below. A small movie with commentary will be downloaded and play in Windows Media Player on your screen. The movies below show stages in the development of a real job - a design for the rear of a north facing courtyard. If you want a detailed overview of how GardenCAD is used, the last movie in the list - 'Use the Pages Drop Down menu ..' is the most comprehensive and shows many of GardenCAD's more advanced features. It takes about 15 minutes to play.
