Draw in 2D. Design It in 3D. Win the Job. 3D Pool Design Software

Pool Studio is 3D pool design software from Structure Studios, built for designing custom swimming pools, spas, water features, and the outdoor living spaces around them. You can draw in 2D and continue designing in full 3D — one click switches the view, not the workflow. Refine in real time, produce interactive presentations, and create build-ready plans from the same file. Pool Studio includes everything in VizTerra, the landscape and hardscape tier, plus complete pool and water feature design, so designers handle the pool, deck, outdoor kitchen, fire features, and landscaping in one project. You can import 2D AutoCAD files and transform them into interactive 3D presentations, and it comes with free live training on every membership.

A 3D pool design software lets designers create a swimming pool in 2D or 3D and work on a realistic, editable 3D model before construction begins, refining the design from any angle rather than just viewing a static render. It brings pool-specific drawing, measurements, and presentation into one place, so a designer can show clients the finished pool, spa, and surrounding space ahead of the build. Pool Studio and Vip3D are built specifically for this work.

Pool Studio combines powerful pool-specific design tools with fast, real-time 3D visualization, making it easier to create designs that help clients understand and approve projects quickly.

Pool design software is for pool designers, landscape designers, pool builders, and outdoor living professionals. Intuitive enough for new designers and powerful enough for experienced professionals, Pool Studio adapts to a wide range of workflows. With Pool Studio, you go further than basic 2D or photo-overlay options: design pools, spas, water features, decks, outdoor kitchens, hardscapes, and landscaping, then produce the construction plans from the same project.

Pool design software normally costs, on average, $100 - $200 per month for every user. Costs typically go down when users subscribe to a pool design software’s annual plans. 

Pool Studio costs $147 per month, or $125 per month when billed annually. Vip3D, which adds photorealistic 3D views powered by path tracing, expanded GIS data, and advanced construction layouts, is $197 per month, or $167 per month billed annually. Both are per-designer memberships with unlimited projects.

Pool Studio runs on Windows computers with a dedicated graphics card, so a newer or higher-spec machine may be needed if a current computer is older or built for basic office work. If your computer meets the recommended system requirements, including a dedicated graphics card for real-time 3D design, you can start designing in 3D right away. Check your setup against our recommended specs, or chat with our team about the setup that will best fit your workload.

Most designers create their first complete design on their first day with Pool Studio. You follow a guided, step-by-step workflow instead of facing every feature at once, and you get free live training with every membership. Because Pool Studio is the easiest software that does 3D, you can learn it without a technical background.

• Choose Pool Studio if pools are central to your business

•  Choose VizTerra if you need a fast outdoor living design workflow 
  

• Choose Vip3D if you need advanced drafting and construction documentation

Pool Studio is faster and more visual than general 3D modeling and flat drafting software, because it's made specifically for pool design and sales. Finish in about a day what takes roughly five days in software like SketchUp. Draw in 2D, see the design in 3D with a single click, and drag in pool items like water features, spas, and fiberglass shells from a built-in library. Generate build-ready construction plans from that same design.

Pool Studio includes everything in VizTerra, the landscape and hardscape tier, and adds full pool and water feature design. For more advanced projects, Vip3D builds on Pool Studio with photorealistic 3D views powered by path tracing, plus expanded GIS data and SketchUp and FBX imports.

Some free pool design tools exist, but they're typically basic 2D apps or photo overlays that can't produce a true 3D view or build-ready construction plans. Professional pool design software is paid because of what it does: automatic 2D-to-3D, accurate measurements, and plans you can build from. Pool Studio offers a free trial so members can run the full software before deciding, no credit card required.
