AI presentation renders for ArchiTECH design views and site studies.
ArchiTECH is an architectural BIM workflow for developing projects in 2D and 3D, coordinating design views with project documentation, and presenting proposals in context.
ArchiTECH is an architectural BIM workflow for developing projects in 2D and 3D, coordinating design views with project documentation, and presenting proposals in context.
ArchiTECH supports an architectural workflow that moves from survey and early design through 2D and 3D development, permit material, execution drawings, and presentation. Its 3D views are useful when an architect or project manager needs to explain a building mass, facade rhythm, openings, roof form, room atmosphere, or a proposal placed in its surroundings. RENDERCAD can turn a deliberately framed ArchiTECH perspective, elevation, white-model view, or photo insertion into a stronger concept or communication image. It is particularly useful for testing the visual direction of an exterior, an interior, or a planning presentation before commissioning a final visualization. Keep ArchiTECH as the authority for model geometry, dimensions, drawings, quantities, and project coordination. A RENDERCAD result is a presentation interpretation of the selected view, not a replacement for BIM data or technical approval.
In ArchiTECH, select a view that already communicates the proposal: an exterior perspective, room view, elevation, massing study, or site insertion. Set the camera before capture and keep the visual evidence that must survive the render - the building outline, levels, primary openings, roof, adjacent context, and intended material zones. For a photo insertion, use the established project view and the site image as the visual reference rather than asking the render to solve the placement. Upload the clean image to RENDERCAD and describe a focused direction such as overcast planning-board clarity, warm residential dusk, restrained material study, or lived-in interior atmosphere. Compare variations against the ArchiTECH view, choosing only images that preserve the design decision. Use approved stills in concept boards, client discussions, competition material, or communication layouts, while retaining model revisions, documentation, measurements, and any interactive walkthrough work in ArchiTECH or the relevant source tool.

RENDERCAD uses a maintained selection of image-generation models for different rendering tasks. Results can vary by model and input, so compare generated output with the source design before relying on geometry, materials, or dimensions.

Video jobs consume credits based on current duration and model settings. Check the pricing page for current costs rather than comparing with an assumed outsourcing price.
A relevant reference can communicate palette, material, lighting, or composition more directly than text alone. Add a concise instruction and review the result rather than assuming the reference will be followed exactly.
Mask individual components and assign color prompts or authorized references. Verify brand color in a color-managed workflow rather than relying on generated accuracy.
Yes. Save successful reference images in organized folders. Over time, you build a personal material and style library for consistent rendering.
Describe the intended anodized color and matte or satin finish, then review the generated metal appearance against an authorized material reference when color and finish matter.
Add phrases like "Light from left," "Backlit," or "Top down lighting" to your custom prompt in RENDERCAD.
RENDERCAD videos are generated at 720p.
Submit a clear viewport screenshot to the web workflow instead of running a local scene render. The generation request runs in the cloud while your source application remains separate.
Open the current desktop app or browser extension, select the viewport region, and send the captured image into the screenshot-based workflow. Availability and device requirements are documented on the current download pages.
Start with a clear, well-framed viewport and describe the intended material and lighting. Image renders complete in 60 seconds, and you can iterate or mask a region when an artifact remains.
It supports fast visual feedback from a clear viewport capture. Image renders complete in 60 seconds.
The current desktop app or browser extension can capture a selected viewport region and send that screenshot into the image workflow. The web upload path remains available without a CAD plugin.
