Kompozit StudioACM Facade Design for SketchUp, Ready for Fabrication: Draw the Facade, It Handles the Rest

On an ACM cladding job, the modelling isn’t what eats your time; turning the model into production is. Select your walls in SketchUp and the facade is built the way a cladding installer would build it: folded cassettes, joints that wrap the building, the substructure, every trim, the take-off, CNC files and the shop drawings.

  • Folded ACM cassettes + CNC DXF
  • PDF / DXF shop-drawing set

Kompozit Studio

Every feature, at a glance

What the plugin does for you, drawn rather than listed.

01

Cassettes drawn to be built

Folded cassettes measure the fold allowance outside to outside, so the flat blank is ready to rout and fold, and a corner cassette is one sheet.

02

Joints that wrap the building

On L, U or stepped plans, horizontal joints turn the corner and stay level on every face, and soffit joints line up with the wall.

03

A real substructure

Box profiles only behind the joints, flanged four-anchor brackets, rock wool, angles or clips: the system the installer will actually put up.

04

Every trim included

Coping cassettes mitred at the corners, flat column caps, nosed or marble sills, reveals, base profiles and sealed joints with backer rod.

05

ACM and sandwich panels

Switch to sandwich panels in one click, vertical or horizontal; the roof pitch is detected and ridges, eaves, verges, valleys and gables follow.

06

Model done, files done

Order m², sheets and waste, profiles, brackets, anchors and sealant; routing DXF for the CNC and a PDF / DXF shop-drawing set with an ISO title block.

Modelling the facade panel by panel, then counting it in a spreadsheet

Drag me
  1. 01

    Drawn the way it will be fabricated

    Folded cassettes with the fold allowance measured outside to outside, joints that turn every corner at the same level, box profiles behind the joints and four-anchor brackets. What you see is what the workshop builds.

  2. 02

    ACM and sandwich panels

    One click switches the facade to insulated sandwich panels, vertical or horizontal, and roofs are recognised with their pitch; ridges, eaves, verges, valleys and gable walls come by themselves.

  3. 03

    When the model is done, so are the files

    Net and order m², sheet count and waste, profile metres, brackets, anchors and sealant; every cassette unfolded and nested as routing DXF; and a structured shop-drawing set in PDF and DXF with your title block.

  • Folded ACM cassettes: the fold allowance is measured outside to outside, so the flat blank size is ready to rout and fold.
  • Joints wrap the building: on L, U or stepped plans horizontal joints turn the corner and stay at the same level on every face; the corner cassette is one folded sheet with both legs.
  • A real substructure: box profiles only behind the joints, flanged four-anchor brackets, rock wool, and angles or clips.
  • Every trim included: coping cassettes mitred at building corners, flat caps on column tops, nosed or solid-marble sills, reveals, base profiles and sealed joints with backer rod.
  • Soffits and column undersides: downward faces are clad too, with their joints aligned to the vertical joints of the wall.
  • Sandwich panels in one click: vertical or horizontal walls and roofs with automatic pitch detection; ridges, eaves, verges, valleys and gable walls are handled automatically.
  • Take-off: net and order m², sheet count and waste, profile metres, bracket, anchor and angle counts, and sealant litres.
  • CNC ready: every cassette unfolded, nested on stock sheets and exported as routing DXF.
  • A structured shop-drawing set in PDF and DXF: a cover with a 3D view from SketchUp, sheet index and system summary, every elevation on its own scaled sheet, 1:5 system details, panel lists and CNC sheets, an ISO frame and a title block with your project name, client, drafter, checker and revision.
  • Parts never overlap: every release is checked against thousands of variations with a 3D collision scan; even if one stage fails the panels are still built, and previews run in the background so SketchUp stays responsive.

Still being built

Shipped, and what is next.

Shipped

  • v1.0.0 - the core system: one grid across chained faces, openings cut with a guillotine scheme, brackets, carrier profiles, panels and fasteners as tagged components, with live m2 and piece take-off
  • v1.1.0 - insulation layer on the wall face with its own board grid, material, visibility toggle and take-off line
  • v1.2.0 - bracket anchors modelled and counted, two per bracket, as their own line in the take-off
  • v1.3.0 - concealed 4-edge panel clips as an alternative to visible screws, with their own spacing and quantities
  • v1.3.1 - geometry fix for nil returns from add_circle/add_face; 1352 automated tests green across 4 suites, no SketchUp needed to run them
  • v1.4–1.5 - sandwich panels for walls and roofs, with ridges, eaves, verges and gable walls
  • v1.6 - folded cassettes, reveals, sills and corner cassettes
  • v1.13–1.15 - coping cassettes, joints that wrap the building, mitred corners
  • v1.16 - flat blanks, nesting on stock sheets and CNC DXF
  • v1.20–1.21 - the structured shop-drawing set with ISO frame and title block
  • v1.22 - soffits and column undersides, ceiling joints aligned with the wall

Next

  • Sloped and non-rectangular facade faces solved properly, instead of today's bounding-box fallback with a warning
  • Cassette bend edges drawn on the panel components - the folded returns a tray panel actually has
  • Piece-level cut list export for the fabrication shop, listing every cut panel with its dimensions rather than only totals
