from having made payment to opening Visualise2D
(Re-click above to close)
Having made payment, you will receive an e-mail asking you to proceed to the page below.
Clicking on the button will start the process.
A moment later you are given the opportunity to install Visualise2D from a secure server dedicated solely to providing the website and software, all of which is controlled and maintained by the owner company PlantPARTNER Ltd.
If there is an alternative box to the one displayed, then it will be because your firewall is blocking the download.
Click the Install button to begin the installation. Contrary to what the text displayed says, please wait and hold off clicking your mouse or keyboard keys even at the point where nothing appears to be happening.
If an alternative box to the one below is displayed, please call 07773 765 805 for assistance.
The software will partially open giving the opportunity to input your unique Registration Code provided in the e-mail mentioned at the start. Returning to this e-mail, highlight the code and copy it (right-click then select ‘Copy’), click your cursor in the input box as shown below, then paste in the code (right-click then select ‘Paste’).
Now click on the 'OK' button and Visualise2D will open.
Displayed within the screen is the Image Manager, ready to download images to your computer from Visualise2D's server to use in your scenes. This can be done at any time you have a connection to the internet. The images are held on the far left side.
Tools are at the top with easy-to-use keyboard commands in a list on the right. If closed, re-display from within 'Help'.
The single line of intuitive prompt text in orange & white is just below the tool bar.
Images are arranged in groups and are selected by clicking on the check boxes.
Do not download all the available images in one go, but only those of immediate interest.
When complete, close the Image Manager and then be sure to follow the prompt text.

opening Visualise2D to starting a scene
(Re-click above to close)
Open Visualise2D to see the The Image Manager, ready to download images to your computer at any time you have an internet connection, from Visualise2D's server.
These are to use in your scenes and are stored on the far left side.
You can select and download any images of interest if not previously done so.
When complete, close the Image Manager and then be sure to follow the prompt text displayed just below the top tool bar.
Click on 'New' in the top left corner and choose your own background scene held on your computer.
A scene can be any image file which could have come from anywhere such as your digital camera or Google Street View.
Click on the Perspective button in the top tool bar and then pick 4 points to create 2 lines following actual or imaginery straight lines leading into the scene. Where they meet establishes a horizon line.
Add an image from the lefthand library and place in the scene, ideally next to an object with a known height (approximate is fine).
Adjust the slider below the scene to set the scale by eye (see later guides for a more accurate approach if required).
With all the library images set to the same scale, you're now free to start visualising.

We are committed to providing an ever increasing range of images for you to use. These can be downloaded from within Visualise2D at any time you have an internet connection. However, because the possibilities appear almost limitless, we recognise that we may not have the exact image you require at any particular point in time. So we have provided an Upload facility allowing you to add your own images.
Please refer to the FAQ page for details on what is involved in preparing images suitable for uploading.
Haven't got any of your own images but still wish to add some? There are a lot of good images available on the Web and so we have compiled a list of suppliers here for you. If you think one is not listed and it ought to be, please let us know.
Looking for images of particular products? Perhaps it's a piece of play equipment or street furniture? We'd be happy to work with your chosen supplier to produce the images you are after to include within your scheme. Please contact us for details.
The following sites offer a range of 2D image cut-outs of photo-quality ideally suited for use within Visualise2D:
The following may not offer quite photo-quality, but there's no reason why they still cannot be used:
