Cheaper alternatives to Vectorworks Landscape

After 1 1/2 years of using Vectorworks, I’ve decided that it’s too expensive for my needs. I don’t do any 3D drafting, so it feels like overkill. I’m now looking for cheaper alternatives that focus on landscape architecture.

I mainly design private gardens and don’t use any building physics, structural engineering, or similar technical features. My work is mostly limited to planting plans, layout drafts, and visual/orientation aids for clients.

Basically, I need all the necessary tools to redraw site plans, which I then use for landscape drafts, as well as plant symbols or the option to import external libraries. To be fair, I never really liked the stock Vectorworks symbols, but I still used them because I haven’t been able to find good replacements so far.

I really like Vectorworks’ Sketch Style feature, which makes drafts look more hand-drawn, so it would be nice if the replacement had something similar.

Both one-time payments and monthly fees are fine.

Wart ihr schon mal von IBAN Diskriminierung betroffen?

Überlege mein Giro Konto bei der Raiffeisen zu kündigen und zu Revolut zu wechseln. Das meiste läuft ohnehin schon drüber. Bei der Recherche ließt man immer wieder von IBAN Diskriminierung, was zwar illegal ist aber dennoch vorkommt.

Hatte schon jemals jemand von euch, der eine Ausländische IBAN hat, ein Problem damit?

Is this a cissus?

Got this plant as a gift and was told it’s a Cissus, but not much more. I tried to ID it with the PlantNet app, but none of the results fit very well.

Cissus in general would make sense, but which specific species could it be?

I just received my first topical 5% minoxidil in the mail to use for my beard. I choose the liquid which contains alcohol and was wondering how i should use it in combination with derma rolling.

From my research i should apply a few drops of the liquid twice a day. Can i do this simultaneously with derma rolling or should i stop minoxidil for a day after derma rolling?
