Create presentation visuals from AutoCAD LT DWG views, layouts, and PDF exports.

Autodesk 2D DWG drafting and documentation software for precise drawings, layouts, and annotations
AutoCAD LT is built for precise 2D drafting and documentation, so teams often have polished DWG layouts, elevations, sections, fixture plans, or product details before they have presentation imagery. RENDERCAD helps turn an AutoCAD LT viewport, plotted sheet, or PDF export into a visual concept render for client reviews, sales decks, and design discussions without rebuilding the drawing in a separate 3D scene.
In AutoCAD LT, prepare the drawing view you want to visualize: isolate key layers, set lineweights and hatches, choose model space or a layout sheet, and export a PDF or capture a crisp viewport image. Upload that visual to RENDERCAD, describe the intended material palette, lighting, room or site context, and finish direction, then use the result as presentation artwork alongside the source DWG documentation.

It prevents context switching. You stay in your design flow, making rendering feel like just another tool in your CAD toolbar.
Upload a photo of the actual painted sample or Pantone chip. The AI color-matches your render to the physical reference.
Click the mask button to open the mask editor, then use the brush tool to paint over the region you want to control. Adjust brush size with the slider, and use the eraser to refine edges.
Set up masks for each customizable component. Swap material references for each masked region to quickly visualize different product configurations.
Prompt for "Chrome" or "Silver Mirror." RENDERCAD will generate a reflected environment on the surface of your object.
Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing and let RENDERCAD handle the physics. The "Realistic" engine calculates realistic soft shadows based on your lighting prompt.
Upload your image or snip your exploded view. Use RENDERCAD video with "Gentle Orbit" to give depth to the floating components.
No. RENDERCAD works on any device with a browser. Upload an image or use the desktop snipping tool, and our external GPUs handle the rest.
Yes, the Render History page lets you browse and download any image or video you've generated.
Use the "Dirty" condition and prompt "Muddy tires" or "Construction dust."
Prompt "Translucent polycarbonate" or "Clear acrylic."
You eliminate the setup time. Instead of positioning lights and tweaking materials, you upload or snip an image, prompt, and wait roughly 20 seconds for the result.
