2D CAD drafting software for technical drawings, floor plans, DWG/DXF workflows, and architectural design
Draft It users often prepare precise 2D drawings, floor plans, symbols, and DWG/DXF-based documentation before a client or stakeholder needs a more visual explanation. RENDERCAD fits after the Draft It view is readable: upload a clean screenshot, bitmap export, PDF page image, or 3D building view and create a polished render-style visual with clearer lighting, materials, depth, and context. It is useful for early building concepts, renovation discussions, planning presentations, trade proposals, and portfolio images while Draft It remains the source for dimensions, layers, and construction drawing output.
In Draft It, simplify the drawing view so the plan, elevation, detail, or 3D building view communicates the design without extra construction clutter. Export a bitmap or PDF page, or capture the viewport, then upload that image to RENDERCAD with a concise prompt for materials, lighting, surroundings, and presentation style. Use the result as a concept or review visual alongside the original Draft It drawing, not as a replacement for measured CAD documentation.

Get StartedCommon solutions for Draft It users
Because RENDERCAD is an overlay or web app, it runs independently. You can keep modeling in Draft It while we process images in the background.
Open the tool, drag a box around your model on screen, and the image loads instantly for prompting. You never have to close Draft It.
Prompt for material mixes like "Mesh fabric," "Rubber sole," and "Leather accents."
RENDERCAD paid plans include access to the Realistic engine, with 4K available on supported tiers.
Our "Realistic" engine is trained on millions of professional product photographs. It understands real-world lighting and materials better than manual shader settings often allow.
It acts as a powerful upscaler. It takes a jagged, low-res CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing and reconstructs it into a sharp, 4K render in 10-60 seconds.
It calculates "Ambient Occlusion" (shadows in cracks) and "Soft Shadows" simultaneously, grounding the object so it doesn't look like it's floating.
Agile teams need speed. The ability to upload or snip an image, prompt, and share keeps the design conversation moving faster than traditional rendering pipelines.
It shifts the workflow from "Computing Physics" to "Describing Intent." It is the natural evolution of how we interact with digital 3D data.
Upload any photo with lighting you admire - studio shots, outdoor scenes, dramatic lighting. The AI replicates that lighting setup on your Draft It model.
Use multiple reference items with overlapping masked regions. The AI intelligently blends where masks meet, creating smooth transitions between different materials or effects.
Render once, then use different lighting reference images - daytime photo vs. night scene - to generate both versions from the same model.
