Copilot is useful when the outdoor design is part of a planning application, development proposal, or property sale. Generate the render and integrate it with the planning documents or sales pack without leaving your workflow.

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Interior Design tool:

  1. Provide the outdoor photo, site constraints, and any planning or HOA requirements.
  2. Run `outdoor_design` via interior-design to generate the landscaping render.
  3. Ask Copilot to embed the render into a planning or sales document with a written description of the design intent.
  4. Output the document in a format ready for submission or distribution.

Example Prompt

Try this with Copilot using the Interior Design tool
Use interior-design with outdoor_design to show this new-build side access as a landscaped communal garden. Return the render and write a one-paragraph design statement suitable for a planning supplementary document.

Tips

  • Keep the design statement factual and tied to the visual so it matches what is shown in the render.
  • If submitting for planning, describe the render as a 'design intent' image rather than an 'as-built' render.
  • Match the document format to what the planning authority or sales team expects so no reformatting is needed.
