From SketchUp model to
production CAD drawings
in seconds.
A2CD (Architecture-to-CAD) is an AI-driven pipeline that turns a 3D building model into a complete set of permit-grade construction drawings — architectural and MEP — automatically, with engineering accuracy.
The A2CD core
A2CD is not a wrapper around a chatbot. It's a production system — already built, already running on real projects — with a proprietary reasoning core at its center. We show what it does and proves; the core logic stays sealed by design.
Not a concept. A2CD already produces full construction sets from our own live projects, end-to-end, today.
The logic that turns raw geometry into correct, code-compliant drawings is ours — encoded from years of real studio drafting, kept in-house.
Every output is backed by traceable evidence and gated against fake-pass. It never ships what it can't prove.
ISO 128 / 129 / 19650 built into the engine and benchmarked to professional reference sets — not a plain CAD export.
What A2CD does
Architectural design lives in 3D. Construction needs 2D drawings. A2CD closes that gap — automatically generating the dimensioned, standards-compliant drawing set that today takes a drafting team days to produce by hand.
Auto drawing generation
Plans, elevations, sections, roof plans and details extracted directly from the model geometry, with automatic dimensioning per ISO 128/129.
Architectural + MEP sheets
Produces a coordinated multi-sheet construction set, benchmarked against professional reference drawing standards.
AI feature recognition
Vision-language models classify rooms, openings, circulation, shading devices and structural tiers — so the output reads like an architect drew it.
Quantity take-off (BOQ)
Automatic bill of quantities and cost estimation grounded in local construction rates and material standards.
Clash & completeness checks
Cross-discipline clash detection and a drawing-completeness gate ensure nothing ships half-finished.
Print-ready PDF sets
Composes title-blocked, plotted PDF drawing sets ready for permit submission and site issue.
See it in action
From one SketchUp model, A2CD produces both photoreal design visualizations and the full permit-grade drawing set — elevations, roof plans, and construction details: dimensioned, title-blocked, and checked by the pipeline's verified-truth gate.
Every sheet is generated automatically from the 3D model — no manual drafting in between — then exported print-ready for permit submission.
How it works
A single command takes a raw SketchUp file to a verified drawing set — no manual drafting in between.
Ingest
Parse the SketchUp (.skp) model and verified dimensions.
Understand
AI classifies spaces, openings & structure via NVIDIA NIM vision models.
Generate
27 engines draft plans, elevations, sections & dimensions in parallel.
Validate
Clash, completeness & standards gates — no fake-pass.
Deliver
Title-blocked, plotted PDF construction set + BOQ.
Inside the engine
Not a black box. A traceable, standards-aligned pipeline orchestrating real AI tools — every drawing backed by evidence.
1 · End-to-end pipeline with audit trail
One command: SketchUp model → verified construction set. Every stage logs evidence, mapped to ISO 19650 information states.
2 · AI Manager — multi-LLM orchestration
A routing AI manager dispatches each task to the best model, fuses the results, then a verified-truth gate blocks anything unproven.
3 · OpenUSD & Omniverse geometry stack
An OpenUSD backbone carries lossless 3D semantics from authoring to drafting, accelerated on NVIDIA Omniverse / RTX.
Built on an enterprise AI stack
A2CD is engineered on NVIDIA accelerated computing and an OpenUSD geometry backbone, with architectural reasoning powered by Google Cloud Vertex AI & Gemini, orchestrated by a multi-LLM engine.
- Vision-language understanding — facade, room and opening recognition from model & rendered views.
- OpenUSD interchange — lossless 3D semantics bridge between authoring and drafting.
- Verified-truth gates — every output backed by traceable evidence, never an unchecked claim.
- Seconds, not days — full drawing set produced ~15× faster than the original baseline.
Who it's for
Anyone who designs in 3D but is forced to deliver in 2D.
Architecture firms
Cut drafting hours and free designers from repetitive documentation work.
Engineering & MEP teams
Coordinated, clash-checked discipline sheets generated from one source model.
Developers & builders
Faster permit-ready documentation and instant quantity take-offs for budgeting.
About MDMA Studio
MDMA Studio (Minimal Design Machine Architecten) is a Bangkok-based architecture and design practice. A2CD is our in-house AI product, born from real production drafting workflows on our own projects — built to give every studio the documentation speed we needed ourselves.
