From model to illustrated plans — without leaving Rhino.
DOCOpalette is a Rhino plugin that connects Rhino and Adobe Photoshop, turning your model layers into rich, illustrated, presentation-ready drawings — without breaking your modelling workflow.
Build a Photoshop template once, map your hatches to smart layers, and let DOCOpalette keep your colour drawings in sync as your project evolves. Push updates in the background while you keep working in Rhino, then process your entire drawing set in one pass.
Key Features
Smart Layer Mapping
Map hatches on your Rhino layers to linked smart layers in Photoshop, keeping your colour drawings connected to your model.
Fully Customisable Templates
Build your own Photoshop templates from selected sheets, with multiple templates able to operate within the same drawing file.
Non-Blocking Queue
Keep working in Rhino while Photoshop updates in the background. Queued jobs are processed automatically when ready.
Batch Processing
Process an entire drawing package in one pass. Press Process All and let DOCOpalette do the rest.
Hi-Res Output
Combine vector-quality linework with high-resolution raster imagery to produce production-ready PDFs.
Production-Tested Workflow
Developed within a working Landscape Architecture practice for teams who need engaging, client-ready plan drawings.
Colour production, without leaving Rhino
DOCOpalette creates an automated workflow between Rhino layouts and Photoshop, keeping your colour drawings connected to your model as it changes. Hatches flow naturally from layer → smart layer → composited artwork → PDF, while Photoshop gives you the creative control to refine the finished result.
Get the creative freedom and polish of a dedicated illustration workflow, while continuing to model and document in the Rhino environment you already know.
