Architect Drawing Set Overview

The Architect Drawing Set is one of the core drawing sets included with ConDoc Tools. It’s designed to generate a comprehensive set of construction documents for traditional architectural workflows—whether you're working on new construction or renovation projects, residential or commercial.

You can load the Architect Drawing Set by clicking the folder icon (Load Drawing Set) on the ConDoc System dialog. This drawing set includes a wide range of predefined drawings and tags, specifically built to support the full architecture documentation process from schematic design through construction documentation.

This drawing set is ideal for:

  • Architects
  • Residential and commercial projects
  • New construction and renovations
  • Traditional drawing sets for permits, client presentations, and construction

Drawing Styles

Every drawing in the Architect Drawing Set—whether it's a plan, section, elevation, or perspective—is typically generated in three distinct visual styles. These styles help you tailor your output for different phases of your project or different audiences.

  • CAD Style
    Clean, black-and-white linework. Ideal for construction documents and permit sets.
  • COLOR Style
    Full-color output designed for client-facing presentations and design reviews.
  • SKETCH Style
    Black-and-white with sketchy line types. Perfect for conceptual work or early design phases.

No matter which drawing type you're working with, you'll generally get all three styles automatically when you export from ConDoc.
