A fast desktop app, fully compatible with .layout - an upgrade to SketchUp LayOut that fits your existing workflow instead of replacing it.
Dicular doesn't replace LayOut - it upgrades it. Open your files, stay connected to SketchUp, and automate the tedious parts.
Import, write back, and reconcile native .layout files. Keep your existing sheets and process intact.
A Ruby tool links SketchUp directly to Dicular, driving your drawings straight from the open .skp model.
Ruby tools, plugins, a CLI, and AI can batch-create annotations, dimensions, grids, symbols, and text.
Every drawing is structured data you can inspect, diff, edit, undo, verify, and write back.
A modern drawing engine that fixes the bottlenecks architects hit every day.
Images, PDF/vector, DWG/DXF, symbols, title & detail blocks - many sources, not just .layout scrapbooks.
Named styles, batch apply across shapes, text and dimensions - heading toward variables & design tokens.
Reusable instances: edit once, update everywhere, with per-instance overrides.
Rich text, font fallback, vector/glyph text and text-as-geometry - far beyond the classic text box.
Flow text into shapes and wrap around geometry - built for complex callouts and annotations.
Union, subtract, intersect and XOR on shapes and paths for masks, hatches, symbols and details.
Dicular is in public beta - and free to download. Open your existing .layout files, try the editor, and help shape what comes next.
