Presentation renders for AutoPLANT piping, equipment, and raceway views.
AutoCAD-based plant design and modeling software for spec-driven piping, equipment, raceways, isometrics, and plant deliverables
AutoCAD-based plant design and modeling software for spec-driven piping, equipment, raceways, isometrics, and plant deliverables
Open the AutoPLANT project, isolate the area you need to explain, and make sure pipes, valves, supports, equipment, and raceways use clear colors or display styles. Set a camera or viewport that communicates clearance, access, routing, or equipment relationships, hide construction clutter, and capture the view. Upload the image to RENDERCAD to create a cleaner render for stakeholder review, bid graphics, maintenance-planning discussions, or marketing visuals while keeping AutoPLANT as the engineering authoring environment.

Tired of keeping up with the latest gen AI models? RENDERCAD is powered by a proprietary ensemble of the most cutting-edge AI engines, always up to date and fine-tuned to strictly maintain your design intent.
| Feature | RENDERCAD | Bentley AutoPLANT Modeler |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | AutoCAD-based 3D plant modeling environment rather than a dedicated photorealistic render engine |
| Output | Images + Video | 3D plant models, orthographic drawings, isometrics, reports, and reviewable model views |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Controlled by viewport, sheet, and export settings rather than a cloud render resolution |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Depends on model size, display style, local hardware, and downstream visualization tools |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Video and animation output are not the core AutoPLANT workflow |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | Route spec-driven piping, place equipment and raceways, choose display styles, then frame a model or sheet view |
| Input | Screen Snip | AutoCAD-based plant projects with piping specifications, equipment, raceways, and shared project data |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Installed AutoCAD-based desktop plant design software |
| Install | None | Desktop installation within Bentley and AutoCAD plant project environments |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Commercial Bentley licensing; current availability and terms should be confirmed with Bentley |

Get StartedCommon solutions for Bentley AutoPLANT users
Instead of complex UV mapping, upload your image or use the RENDERCAD overlay tool to snip your screen. Type "Carbon Fiber" in the prompt, select "Exact" style, and in about 10-60 seconds, the AI will retexture your image realistically.
Snap a picture using the RENDERCAD overlay. Select the "Realistic" engine, set Condition to "Clean," and prompt "Brushed Aluminum." The AI applies the texture orientation correctly to your geometry.
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.
Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing to RENDERCAD Studio. Add "Cold beverage with condensation" to your custom prompt. The "Realistic" engine will generate realistic droplets on the surface.
Use the RENDERCAD overlay. Prompt for "Injection Molded Plastic" and in Advanced Settings, set Condition to "Clean" for a smooth, factory-fresh look.
You don't need texture maps. Upload your image or snip your screen with RENDERCAD, then set Advanced Settings > Condition to "Dirty" or "Heavily Used" to instantly apply rust and age.
Capture your model and prompt "Oak Wood" in RENDERCAD. The Image-to-Image engine generates a unique, non-repeating grain pattern that fits your object's form.
Upload your image or snip your screen. In RENDERCAD, prompt "Polished Gold" and set Background to "Grey" or "Gradient." The AI generates the necessary reflections to simulate a metallic surface.
No need for bump maps. Use the RENDERCAD overlay to capture the view, then prompt "Black Leather." The AI interprets the depth and stitching automatically.
Capture your screen and use the custom prompt "Glowing Neon Blue Lights." The AI paints the bloom and light spill directly onto your image.
While RENDERCAD generates full rectangular images, you can set the Background to "White" or "Grey" in Advanced Settings for easy masking in post-production.
Upload your image or snip the model, then prompt for "Denim," "Cotton," or "Velvet." RENDERCAD applies the weave texture naturally over the surface.
