Create 2D Drawings in a Click—Without Leaving SketchUp!

With ConDoc Tools, turn your 3D designs into full sets of precise 2D drawings.

The ConDoc suite of tools is the fastest, easiest, best way to create 2D drawings… using the SketchUp and LayOut workflow you already know. Perspectives, elevations, sections, and plans—you can do it all in just minutes!

Better than stock SketchUp.

ConDoc Tools makes it easier to work with SketchUp and LayOut, greatly simplifying and automating the process of creating 2D drawings. Now you don’t have to leave SketchUp, learn complicated software or waste hours turning 3D models into 2D in LayOut.

Easier than complicated BIM.

ConDoc Tools lets you stay in SketchUp, quickly and efficiently enabling 2D drawings no matter how you’ve organized your 3D model. When BIM is overkill, ConDoc is perfect.

Less expensive than both.

Some industry software licenses cost $5000 a year or more! ConDoc Tools is just $29 a month — a 93% savings. Even better, when you pay annually, ConDoc Tools is just $299 a year. That’s like getting two months free!

The Power and Convenience of .condoc Drawing Sets

ConDoc drawing sets are all-in-one toolkits that make it simple and easy to use ConDoc Tools the way you want.

They contain all the drawing types (plans, sections, elevations, perspectives), styles, tags, and line weights you need — in one easy-to-use .condoc file that automatically “reprograms” ConDoc Tools for maximum efficiency. Want to do a generic 2D drawing? Use the Flex drawing set. Or load the Interiors or Architect drawing sets for professional workflows.

Plus, inside the ConDoc Labs folder, you’ll find more specialized drawing sets that work out of the box with Medeek extensions, Flextools, and more.

ConDoc_Configurator_Tool

Have it your way!

Adapt any drawing set to customize it exactly how you want with the ConDoc Configurator — available out-of-the-box with ConDoc Tools.

OK, SketchUp… “Tag,” you’re it.

Did you know that in SketchUp Pro, you can only assign one tag to an entity? It’s one of the most significant limitations of the program.

The popular workaround is “nested groups,” invisible containers that go around objects so you can assign different tags. But this method is ridiculously complicated.

That’s why we spent a year designing and refining a better tagging system for the most recent version of ConDoc Tools.

This extraordinary tagging method lets you assign unlimited tags to any object — and the feature now comes standard in ConDoc Tools.

These Architects and Designers Love ConDoc Tools...
And You Will Too

Well done Mike, as an architect myself, there is a difference between how we approach a drawing task versus how graphics and other design people approach the same task, and your approach was perfectly comfortable with me and was logical and informative. For people who don't or haven't produced construction documents for a living, especially on CAD, these things don't seem to matter.

@SuperBardley

The CONDOC System and Tutorials have made my life and work process so much easier and efficient! Hands down, the organization is exactly as I would have wanted it. BRAVO!

Carolyn Beers

I have just purchased your ConDoc Tools for SketchUp Pro and SketchUp Workflow for Architecture and wanted to say "thank you!" I am very impressed with your product and application for my design/build studio. After years of drawing plans with AutoCAD and then having to export for render or presentation, I am ready to adopt your ConDoc product into my workflow.

Carson Monson

It is rare to find anyone that has put so much time and effort into something that they are really great at in my opinion, and I truly appreciate the effort that Mr. Brightman has put into his work. When I bought the ConDoc Tools myself, I had a bit of an issue registering it. (All my own fault BTW) and Michael emailed with me to help troubleshoot the install and make sure that I had full use of it before he quit for the night. Excellent service for my point of view. There are other free tools that you can download from the ConDoc Tools page as well that complement the paid tools as well.

Douglas Hall

I use ConDoc because for me, it's all about time. In our industry time is money. And the more time you can save in your workflow, the quicker you can go on to the next project and the quicker your clients get their plans and they can start their construction.

Easton Hunter

As compared to much more cumbersome A/E software the combination of SketchUp and ConDoc allow a streamlined basis from the very beginning of the architectural process with 3-D in Schematic Design, refined in 3-D/2-D in Design Development and then finally refined fully in 3-D based 2-D in the subsequent Construction Documents, Bidding and Construction Administration phases.

Kevin Callahan

ConDoc saves me time and keeps me out of trouble to create great construction documents. If you use Sketchup in your remodeling business, get Mike Brightman's 'The Sketchup Workflow for Architecture' and download The ConDoc Tools.

Scott Daniels

The SketchUp, LayOut, and ConDoc are an excellent way for an independent design-build contractor like myself to manage projects from inception through construction quickly and accurately. I am a thrilled CAD convert! The ConDoc System is sophisticated, but once concepts are understood, it is very easy and fun to use. The recent tutorials for ConDoc are a great comprehensive explanation of how to get going.

Stephen Levin

This is excellent for those of us that are not trained architects. The ConDoc System Really helped me understand how to work much more efficiently and productively without all the frustrating pitfalls I was constantly struggling with.
