Create polished presentation renders from ActCAD Professional Plus DWG and 3D views.
ActCAD Professional Plus CAD workflows for DWG drafting, 3D modeling, file conversion, and presentation-ready design visuals.
ActCAD Professional Plus CAD workflows for DWG drafting, 3D modeling, file conversion, and presentation-ready design visuals.
ActCAD Professional Plus is a practical fit for teams moving between DWG drafting, 3D CAD views, file conversion, AEC details, and client-facing design communication. RENDERCAD helps turn those working views into polished presentation imagery: capture a shaded model, elevation, section, floor plan, product form, or drawing sheet from ActCAD Professional Plus and generate a render that communicates materials, lighting, scale, and context more clearly than a technical viewport alone. It is useful when the CAD file remains the source of truth but the meeting, proposal, or marketing asset needs a more approachable visual.
Open the ActCAD Professional Plus drawing or model, clean up layer visibility, choose the plan, elevation, section, layout, or 3D perspective that explains the design, then export a clear image or capture the viewport. Upload that visual to RENDERCAD and describe the intended materials, lighting, background, or site context. Use the generated render for stakeholder reviews, proposal imagery, product previews, or architectural concept options while continuing technical drafting and model edits in ActCAD.

It creates emotional storytelling (e.g., a "well-loved" tool vs. a "new" one) by simply selecting from Clean, Slight Wear, Heavily Used, or Dirty in Advanced Settings.
In Realistic mode, click the Reference button below your image to add a reference photo (like real carbon fiber). Add a text instruction describing how to use it, and the AI applies those material properties to your model.
Mask each component in your exploded view separately. Apply unique materials to each part for clear visual differentiation in technical illustrations.
Set up masks for each customizable component. Swap material references for each masked region to quickly visualize different product configurations.
Capture your screen and use the custom prompt "Glowing Neon Blue Lights." The AI paints the bloom and light spill directly onto your image.
Upload your image or snip your screen, then type "Cyberpunk city, neon lights" in the prompt. The "Creative" style will restyle the atmosphere while keeping your model's core shape.
Yes. Select the "Slow zoom in" or "Slow zoom out" camera option in RENDERCAD Image-to-Video to create dynamic motion from a still image.
Local rendering maxes out RAM. RENDERCAD is cloud-based; it processes a simple 2D image on our servers, so your computer never lags or crashes.
Crop using the Snipping Tool selection box initially. Select only the area of the viewport you want to render.
Prompt "Grey linen sofa," "Teak wood legs," "Living room context."
Use "Exact" style. AI can struggle with text, but Exact mode preserves it best.
Marketing needs context. RENDERCAD can place your isolated CAD model into a realistic "Lifestyle" environment (like a kitchen or office) instantly.
