Presentation-ready renders from BricsCAD Ultimate DWG model views.
DWG-based CAD environment that brings drafting, direct 3D modeling, BIM, mechanical design, and civil surveying work into one drawing-centered workflow. It can carry building elements, assemblies, site geometry, layers, materials, lights, and named views in the same project, making it useful when technical CAD views also need clear visual communication.

BricsCAD Ultimate brings BIM and mechanical capabilities into a DWG-based workflow, so a team may move between a building facade or room, a detailed fabricated assembly, and a surveyed site without leaving the drawing environment. RENDERCAD is most useful after the design intent and geometry are resolved. Prepare a clean perspective viewport of a facade study, interior, equipment layout, assembly, or site proposal, then use that view to develop a more polished presentation image with deliberate lighting, material character, shadows, and an appropriate setting. The resulting visuals can support early design reviews, proposal boards, stakeholder presentations, sales collateral, or project updates. RENDERCAD should not be treated as the authority for dimensions, BIM data, fabrication decisions, clashes, or construction documentation; the BricsCAD drawing remains the source of truth for those technical details.
In BricsCAD Ultimate, first isolate the layers and objects that tell the design story: BIM elements around an entrance or room, the key parts of a mechanical assembly, or terrain and survey context around a site proposal. Hide construction clutter, selections, grips, and unnecessary reference content. Choose a readable visual style and a perspective or camera-like view that makes scale, access, and the main silhouette clear. BricsCAD can assign rendering materials to entities or layers, map textures, and use lights or sun settings, so a simple local render can help establish the intended surfaces and time of day before capture. Upload the clean viewport or reference render to RENDERCAD and describe the finish, lighting, setting, and audience to explore presentation-ready alternatives. Keep the same model viewpoint when comparing options, and return to the DWG whenever the design itself needs revision.

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.
| Feature | RENDERCAD | BricsCAD Ultimate native rendering |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Built-in BricsCAD viewport, material, lighting, and rendering workflow |
| Output | Images + Video | Viewport captures and locally rendered still images, with render output sent to a file or render window |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Set through viewport capture or render output settings and constrained by the workstation and scene |
| Image Speed | Image renders complete in 60 seconds. | Varies with model complexity, chosen render preset, materials, lights, output dimensions, and workstation resources |
| Video Speed | Videos complete in 2-5 minutes. | Camera-path animation can be saved to a movie file; completion time depends on scene complexity and sequence length |
| Scene Set Up | No separate local scene | DWG model with layers, visual style, named view or camera, assigned materials, and optional lights or sun settings; BIM, mechanical, terrain, or point cloud content can provide context |
| Input | Screen Snip | DWG drawings and 3D models, including work created with BricsCAD BIM, Mechanical, and civil surveying tools |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Desktop BricsCAD workflow for supported operating systems, with some feature availability varying by platform |
| Install | None | Available within the BricsCAD desktop application; additional tools may be used for file exchange or downstream visualization |
| Cost | from $9/mo | A BricsCAD Ultimate license is required; license options and regional terms vary |

Choose a background or describe the intended environment and lighting. Generated reflections and illumination are visual interpretations, not a scene-based light simulation.
4K is an optional output-resolution step. It increases pixel dimensions but does not restore missing source detail or guarantee print suitability.
It guides the video toward a looping transition. Review continuity after export because the first and last frames may still need editing.
Use authorized product photography to guide angles, shadows, or highlights. Review the result for product and brand fidelity.
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. Mask the product and direct the background with an authorized environment reference. Review the full result because product details can still drift.
Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing and describe condensation or water droplets in the custom prompt. Generated placement and appearance vary, so iterate or mask a region when needed.
Choose the Dusty condition and describe the intended atmosphere. Generated dust is illustrative, so review how it affects important product details.
Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing, open the Video panel, and choose an available duration, camera preset, and product motion. Videos complete in 2-5 minutes.
Use the RENDERCAD Overlay to capture a clear viewport without rebuilding a separate render scene. Image renders complete in 60 seconds.
Yes. A current desktop capture app and browser extension are available, and the browser upload workflow remains available without either tool.
