You modelled it. Now the shop wants a drawing.

You finish the stand, the booth, the counter, the set piece — and then somebody asks for measurements. So you open a new file, orbit around, type dimension after dimension by hand, and half a day is gone. Then the client moves one panel and you do it again.

Stand Blueprints does that step for you. Select your parts, press one button, and you get a finished technical sheet: top view, isometric, front and side, with the dimensions measured straight off the mesh — in vector SVG, ready to print or hand to the fabricator.

It was not written as a demo. It was written for real exhibition-stand jobs, and the sheets in these screenshots are the same sheets that go to the shop.

How it works — three steps

1. Point it at a folder. One field at the top of the panel. That is the whole setup.

2. Press a button.

• Sheet from Selection — one sheet with whatever you have selected. For when the client only asked about the counter.
• Full Package — the add-on walks your visible scene, groups the parts that are identical, and writes an overview sheet plus one numbered sheet per distinct part.

3. Open the SVG. Clean vector: thin black outlines, dashed hidden lines, red dimensions with arrows, title block top right. Print it, drop it into a PDF, or open it in Illustrator or Inkscape and keep editing — it is real vector geometry, not a screenshot.

What it measures for you

• Overall size of every view, two decimals.
• Internal levels — shelf heights, base heights, the steps a fabricator actually needs.
• Hidden lines dashed, so you can read what sits behind the front face.
• Curvature radii on real arcs (R0.11), when you want them.
• Corner angles, when you want those too.

Every one of these is a checkbox. The defaults are the ones that survived real jobs; the rest are there when a specific piece needs them.

The switches that exist because a real job needed them

• Silhouette (logos and cutouts) — a logo panel is a textured plate and its raw mesh reads as a blob. This traces the outline through the UVs, so the letters come out legible and the dimensions measure the artwork, not the plate carrying it.
• Slender part (tower, profile) — lays a long piece down and spreads it in bands across the page. A truss tower went from 148 px/m to 492 px/m: three times the scale on the same sheet.
• Round tube outline — a truss is many-sided cylinders with no sharp edges, so an edge-angle pass draws nothing but a row of dots. This outlines curved parts per view instead.
• Straighten rotated parts — a piece rotated inside its own plane inflates its world bounding box and lies about its size. This draws it on its own plane, so the numbers are true.
• Group identical parts — four identical shelves become one sheet marked x4 identical, not four sheets.
• Exclude collections — archive and library collections never end up in your package.
• Disable Subdivision — switched off for the drawing without being applied, so your mesh stays editable.

Naming the parts

Add a custom object property called blueprint_name and that becomes the title of its sheet, so polySurface306 prints as BAR COUNTER. Without it, the object name is used and cleaned up.

Who this is for

Exhibition and booth designers, furniture and millwork, set and prop builders, product and retail display designers — anyone who models in Blender and then has to hand somebody a drawing with numbers on it.

What you get

• stand_blueprints.py — a single-file add-on, installed like any other Blender add-on.
• Works in Blender 4.2 through 5.2.
• No dependencies beyond what already ships with Blender.
