The SketchUp community online is large and generally helpful I believe :-)

It's a great package if you get to grips with it

Here's some basics

Quite a few tutorials on Youtube.....

And you're right the basic version is free.....

Hello All,

Basically, I am looking to a 3D design program for PCs, that can be
adapted
to, or has been designed for, gardens on sloping ground.

I have heard of SketchUp which, I believe, is free.

Does anyone know of any others at the lower end of the market ? Say not
more
than 100 ukp if possible ?

Thank you.

If you're interested in any free ware that might suit your needs then
perhaps you could post to alt.com.freeware. I don't know if there is
anything suitable but you never know till you ask there.
