<p dir="auto">Hi everyone,</p>
<p dir="auto">I’ve been watching a lot of recent videos demonstrating AI models (like GPT-6  Astra, and Claude) driving 3D modeling directly in SketchUp via MCP connections.</p>
<p dir="auto">I’m far from an AI expert, but as someone who produces daily drawings for a cabinet maker, I’m curious about how this will impact our workflow. While I’m not particularly eager to jump on the automated 3D modeling train just yet, what I haven't seen naturally demonstrated is the automation from a completed 3D model to a finished, client-ready 2D layout.</p>
<p dir="auto">Since I have to submit all my drawings to designers and architects for review, corrections, and signatures, producing these layouts is the one part of my process I’d love to automate.</p>
<p dir="auto">Has anyone here attempted—or successfully built—a workflow where AI handles the entire layout generation process from a 3D model? I'd love to hear your thoughts or see what tools you're experimenting with.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks,<br />
Thomas</p>
