# Works with the software you already have.

Export whatever your design software gives you, a render, a plan, or a video, and this page tells you exactly what to do with it.

This is the full list, checked against each vendor's own documentation. If your software isn't on it, skip to the bottom, we still take it.

## Every export we accept

Find your software, export what it says, and upload the file. Nothing here needs a special setup just for us.

| Software | What to export | File type | Tip |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Pool Studio | The 2D plan, and a rendered still or video from the 3D view | PNG, PDF, or DXF for the plan; an image or MP4 for the 3D view | Export the plan from File > Export as PNG, PDF, or DXF. For the render, save the highest-resolution still or video Pool Studio's 3D view will give you and upload that alongside it. |
| Vip3D | The 2D plan, and a rendered still or video from the 3D view | PNG, PDF, or DXF for the plan; an image or MP4 for the 3D view | Vip3D covers pools, hardscape, planting, and decks in one file, so export the plan and the render as a pair, the plan tells us the layout and the render tells us the finish. |
| VizTerra | The 2D plan, and a rendered still or video from the 3D view | PNG, PDF, or DXF for the plan; an image or MP4 for the 3D view | VizTerra handles decks, hardscape, and planting without pools. Export the plan as PNG, PDF, or DXF and send your best 3D still alongside it. |
| SketchUp | A 2D graphic of the current scene | JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or BMP; or DWG/DXF for a 2D plan | Set the camera to Parallel Projection before you export if the scale needs to hold up. File > Export > 2D Graphic gives you the image. |
| Lumion | A rendered photo from Photo Mode, or a movie from Movie Mode | JPG, PNG, or BMP for a photo; MP4 for a movie | Render uncompressed (PNG or BMP) if you plan to edit the still afterward. For a movie, export at whatever resolution Movie Mode offers, we compress it on our end. |
| Vectorworks Landmark | A rendered image of the design | JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, or PDF | Use Export Image File under File > Export. It re-renders the current view automatically before saving, so pick your render style first. |
| Chief Architect | A picture of the current view | BMP, JPG, or PNG | Render the view first, then File > Export > Export Picture (BMP, JPG, PNG). It saves exactly what's on screen, so frame the shot before exporting. |
| Twinmotion | A rendered image, panorama, or video of the scene | PNG, JPG, or EXR for images; MP4 for video | Free with an Epic Games account, and it imports SketchUp and Vectorworks models directly. Export the video at 2K, MP4 keeps the file small enough to upload straight away. |
| Blender | A rendered still, or a rendered animation | PNG by default for stills; MP4 through the FFmpeg video option | Render stills first and check them before committing to a full animation render, a failed video render means starting over from frame one. |
| Enscape | A screenshot, or an exported video, from inside your host application | PNG, JPG, EXR, or TGA for stills; MP4 for video | Runs inside SketchUp, Revit, or Vectorworks rather than standalone. The Screenshot and Video commands are both in the Enscape toolbar of whichever app you modelled in. |
| Realtime Landscaping Architect | The plan view, or a captured image of the 3D view | JPG, PDF, BMP, TGA, or PNG | Export to File (F5) saves the plan. For the 3D view, use Export Viewport to File and pick the highest pixel size it offers. |
| Cedreo | The 3D render, or the floor and site plan | PNG for plans; PDF for a full plan set; the render downloads as an image file | Download the render from the project sheet's download arrow, then generate a PDF plan separately if you want the layout in the same package. |
| AutoCAD | The 2D plan | PDF or DXF | Export a plotted PDF for us to look at, or a DXF if you also want it opened in Pool Studio, VizTerra, or SketchUp. We treat the plan as the layout reference, not the finished shot. |

Not on this list? Export whatever your software gives you, a screenshot, a rendered still, a PDF, a saved image, and upload it. If it shows the design, we can work with it.

## Export questions

### My software isn't on this list. Does that mean you can't use it?

No. Export whatever it gives you, a screenshot, a PDF, a rendered still, and upload it. If it shows the design, we can work with it.

### Do you need a rendered image, or is a plan enough?

A plan is enough to start. A rendered still or a couple of site photos gets you a more accurate video, but neither is required.

### What if my software only exports a DXF, not an image?

Upload the DXF. Several tools above, Pool Studio, VizTerra, and AutoCAD among them, export DXF as their plan format, and we read it the same way.

### Can I upload files from more than one program?

Yes. A plan from one tool and a render from another is a normal upload, we combine what's in the yard.

### Does the source software show up anywhere?

On the gallery, yes. Each finished video credits the software that produced the source design.

### What about a flythrough video or a 3D model file instead of a still?

Both count as accepted uploads, alongside a rendered still, a 2D plan, and optional yard photos. Upload whichever ones you have.

## Have something else entirely? Upload it anyway.

If it shows the design, whatever program made it, we can turn it into a film.
