Turn ActCAD Prime DWG views into polished presentation renders.
DWG-focused ActCAD edition for 2D drafting, 3D model views, and engineering or AEC drawing presentation
DWG-focused ActCAD edition for 2D drafting, 3D model views, and engineering or AEC drawing presentation
ActCAD Prime users often start with DWG and DXF production drawings, block-based details, floor plans, mechanical layouts, and shaded 3D model views that explain the geometry but still look like working CAD. RENDERCAD adds a presentation step after the ActCAD Prime viewport: capture the plan, elevation, section, isometric view, or simple 3D model and turn it into a cleaner render for client review, proposal images, project documentation, or early design marketing without exporting the source CAD file.
Open the ActCAD Prime drawing, isolate the layers and blocks that matter, and choose the view that best communicates the design. For 2D work, capture a clean sheet, plan, elevation, or section; for 3D work, switch to a shaded or perspective view and frame the model clearly. Upload the screenshot to RENDERCAD to generate a polished visual with stronger lighting, material cues, shadows, and background context for reviews and presentations.

Get StartedCommon solutions for ActCAD Prime users
Instead of one prompt for everything, you mask each material zone and provide specific references - chrome here, leather there, plastic elsewhere - for precise control.
You can layer a material reference, a lighting reference, and a background reference together. Each guides a different aspect of the final render.
Don't struggle with refraction settings. Upload your image or snip your view with RENDERCAD, set Style to "Creative," and prompt "Clear Glass." The engine handles transparency and light bending automatically.
Add phrases like "Light from left," "Backlit," or "Top down lighting" to your custom prompt in RENDERCAD.
RENDERCAD generates videos in approximately 1 to 2 minutes using cloud processing.
Because RENDERCAD is an overlay or web app, it runs independently. You can keep modeling in ActCAD Prime while we process images in the background.
Open the tool, drag a box around your model on screen, and the image loads instantly for prompting. You never have to close ActCAD Prime.
Prompt for material mixes like "Mesh fabric," "Rubber sole," and "Leather accents."
Use "Exact" style to restrict the AI's creativity to your geometry.
Our "Realistic" engine is trained on millions of professional product photographs. It understands real-world lighting and materials better than manual shader settings often allow.
It acts as a powerful upscaler. It takes a jagged, low-res CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing and reconstructs it into a sharp, 4K render in 10-60 seconds.
It calculates "Ambient Occlusion" (shadows in cracks) and "Soft Shadows" simultaneously, grounding the object so it doesn't look like it's floating.
