We use a design program from Structure Studios. Pool Studio is one of their programs which can generate plan view, 3D and a "fly through" renderings. You could call them and ask if their is someone in your area who has purchased their product. Perhaps a local designer can help you out. https://www.structurestudios.com/software/3d-swimming-pool-design-software?campaignmsclkidutm_sourceutm_mediumutm_campaignutm_termutm_content

"Gosh, I've been gardening professionally and associated with a number of nurseries in my area for the last 30 years or so and I don't know anyone that has deliberately purchased and planted a straight species conifer." Maybe more common in less conifer dominated regions of the country? Any local nursery in the mid-Atlantic will carry plain old white pines, for example. And blue spruce seedlings that are almost bound to become hideous in 20-30 years. Anyhow back to the matter at hand, I don't have time to post a long harangue like I used to (everyone breaths sigh of relief) so I'll post a short one. Plant societies in the US seem more or less like anachronistic relics to me. I wish them the best but I'm glad I didn't join any or invest much of my time into them. If there was some kind of 'power struggle' within the ACS - I mean, who knows but that is what Bill and plantkiller IL implied - it's just another sign of their ever-increasing irrelevance. There's obviously just so little 'fresh blood' and 'fresh ideas' throughout that landscape (no pun intended!) Things like this website and social media fill most, but not all, of the niches they used to fill. Horticulture itself seems at a tipping point; yes the COVID years might have renewed interest in gardening, but I really doubt the new people coming into it want to join these stuffy 'societies'. They want to browse instagram, see plants they like, and go buy them. That being said I do think it's important to contribute to the public sphere of horticulture, and at the beginning of the year I joined the Friends of the NCSU Arboretum. Yes, before I knew about their rare plant auction that just took place - It was happy timing that I got a plant I'd been looking for.

It's so much better to read this (and other) forums on the web. I just click on my bookmark of it and see all of the threads in chronological order of replies, then I click on whatever thread I want to read, which are also arranged chronologically. This is what I use: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/roses

I totally get what you're going through with the whole studio setup. I was in the same boat not long ago. I stumbled upon a solution that might work for you, tension stands from RoomDividersNow. Personally, I've been really pleased with the quality they offer. The heavy-duty vertical tension rods and adjustable crossbar have been a game-changer for me, and the detailed installation instructions were a lifesaver when I set them up. Considering your situation, it might be worth checking out.
