Frequently
Asked
Questions

What is YARD?

YARD is an augmented reality (AR) app that lets you place and experience your outdoor designs directly in a client’s real backyard using an iPad Pro. Import designs from Vip3D, Pool Studio, or VizTerra, or sketch concepts on-site to instantly visualize projects at full scale.

Who is YARD designed for?

YARD is built for landscape designers, pool builders, and design-build professionals who want to present ideas more effectively on-site. It’s ideal for anyone using Vip3D, Pool Studio, or VizTerra who wants to create more engaging client experiences and close projects faster.

What can I do with YARD?

YARD allows you to place fully scaled 3D designs into real-world environments with accurate positioning, depth sensing, and occlusion. Walk clients through their future space, adjust lighting, rotate views, and sketch pools, patios, outdoor kitchens, and other outdoor features directly in AR for quick concept development.

Do I need Vip3D, Pool Studio, or VizTerra to use YARD?

YARD is designed to work alongside Vip3D, Pool Studio, or VizTerra. You can import completed designs for immersive AR presentations, or use YARD’s built-in tools to sketch simple concepts on-site. Most professionals use both together—desktop software for detailed design and YARD for in-person presentations.

How does YARD integrate with Vip3D, Pool Studio, or VizTerra?

Seamlessly. Export your design from Vip3D, Pool Studio, or VizTerra and open it in YARD to view it overlaid in the client’s yard with real-time tracking. No extra file conversion or complex setup required.

Can I create designs directly in YARD?

Yes. YARD includes intuitive AR drawing tools that let you sketch pools, hardscapes, and outdoor elements directly in the space. It’s ideal for quick on-site ideas that can later be refined in your design software.

Can clients interact with YARD during the presentation?

Absolutely. You can hand the iPad Pro to your client and let them walk the space, explore different angles, and experience the design from their own perspective. This interactive approach builds confidence and helps clients feel more connected to the final result.

How does YARD compare to other presentation tools?

YARD uses true augmented reality to overlay designs directly into the real environment—no headsets or virtual spaces required. While Vip3D, Pool Studio, and VizTerra handle detailed design and rendering, YARD brings those designs into the real world for a more impactful, in-person presentation.

Do I need special hardware for YARD?

YARD requires an iPad Pro with LiDAR to enable accurate scaling, depth sensing, and realistic object placement. It’s optimized for smooth, high-quality AR performance on supported devices.

How much does YARD cost?

YARD is available as an add-on to your Structure Studios subscription for $30/month. You can add it to any Vip3D, Pool Studio, or VizTerra license.

How do I get started with YARD?

If you’re already a member, simply add YARD to your subscription and download it from the App Store on your iPad Pro.
