What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the creation of professional 2D drawings and documentation directly from BIM models, automating tasks like generating floor plans, sections, elevations, and composing them into printable sheets.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Drawing Generation: Create plan, section, elevation, and model views with precise control over scale, linework, and annotations.
  • Sheet Composition: Assemble multiple drawings onto standardized sheets with titleblocks, and export to PDF or DXF.
  • Use Case: Generate a complete set of construction drawings, including floor plans with dimensions and annotations, section cuts, and facade elevations, all from a single BIM model, ready for client review or fabrication.

Quick Start

Generate a plan view drawing from the active model and export it as an SVG file.
