Tools Every Architect Needs...

Great architecture demands great documentation. ConDoc’s powerful drawing tools—Plan Generator, Section, Elevation, and Perspective—automate the process of creating clear, professional drawings directly from your SketchUp model. No more manual scene setup, layering headaches, or wasted time—just clean, accurate drawings ready for presentation or construction.

Plans

The Plan Generator creates scenes for plans sectioned at 4' above finished floor, overhead plans, and reflected plans. and properly named by level. Just choose which tags you want to be visible before running the tool, or update the tags after you create the scene just like you always have in SketchUp.

Sections

The section tool adds a section plane, sets the camera view. adds a scene sequentially named AA, BB, CC. Peak inside your model to better explain how levels relate, and how the interior interacts with the exterior.

Elevations

The Elevation Tool adds a section plane 3' off the surface you click on, plus aligns the view to the surface and sets the camera to parallel projection. optimizes shadows for interior elevations and hard lined 45 degree shadows for exterior. adds a scene sequentially named 01, 02, 03.

Perspectives

The perspective tool adds 3d view scenes to your model. snapshots the current camera view and adds a scene numbered by 01, 02, 03.

ConDoc System

Load the included ARCHITECT drawing set to reprogram the ConDoc Tools with industry specific tags and drawings for architectural designers. This heads up display keeps you out of the tags dialog by toggling layer/tag states like levels elements locations and conditions. reset button always gets you back to a snappy working environment.

Simplified Tags for Architects

The ARCHITECT drawing set automatically adds the LEVEL, ELEMENT, LOCATION, and CONDITION tags you need. proven system that is outlined in "The SketchUp Workflow for Architecture". 25 elements are all you need. you don't have to invent your own standards. multi-tagging eliminates the nested groups, allowing you to assign multiple tags to one entity. Architectural Graphic Standards

Express tools

The express tools, riffing on my favorite CAD tools, give you complete control of your model. tag visibility can be "frozen" and isolated and then brought back with the ConDoc System. the idea is to keep you out of the tags dialog, squinting and poking around. you can also purge unused section planes to keep your model tidy and isolate active section planes to make scene edits a breeze.

The Configurator

tweak the ARCHITECT drawing set to fit your needs. Add a tag for appliances or xxx and share with your colleagues. have advanced questions? call 720.443.3242 or schedule a screen share.

It’s simple. Without ConDoc Tools, you’re either paying too much for your 2D drawing solution or wasting time manually doing things you could automate. (Or both!)

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.

The missing link between SketchUp and LayOut

Yes, you could make 2D drawings without ConDoc Tools… But why would you want to? ConDoc Tools is the simplest, easiest way to create perspectives, elevations, sections, and plans in SketchUp-then quickly and painlessly export them to LayOut. Start a trial today and experience the power and simplicity of ConDoc Tools for yourself.
