How do I explore the Object Library?

Browse decorative and structural elements like patios, pergolas, fire pits, and furniture.

The Object Library lets you bring your designs to life with decorative and structural elements — from patios, pergolas, and fire pits to furniture, garden art, and groundcover textures. Use objects to create realistic, complete landscapes that help clients or homeowners visualize the finished project.

Looking for a specific object? Use the search bar at the top of the Object Library.

  1. Click the Object icon on the right side of your screen
  2. Type a search term in the search bar (for example, stone, furniture, or firepit)
  3. Press the Enter key to see results

Search results appear below the search bar. To clear the search, press the back arrow or close ("X") button in the search field — this returns you to the full Object Library.
