Create polished render visuals from GstarCAD Mechanical drawings and model views.
Mechanical drafting and manufacturing design add-on for GstarCAD
Mechanical drafting and manufacturing design add-on for GstarCAD
GstarCAD Mechanical users usually work in a standards-driven DWG environment with mechanical symbols, balloons, parts lists, hole charts, detail views, and standard part libraries. RENDERCAD fits the moment when those accurate production drawings or shaded model views need a clearer presentation image for a customer, supplier, sales engineer, or internal design review. Capture the GstarCAD Mechanical viewport and use RENDERCAD to turn the mechanical assembly, machined component, fixture layout, or exploded view into a cleaner render with readable materials, lighting, and depth while the drawing remains the authoritative design record.
In GstarCAD Mechanical, isolate the layers, symbols, balloons, dimensions, and section or detail views that should guide the image. Frame a shaded 3D view, assembly drawing, standard-part layout, hole chart context, or exploded configuration, then capture the viewport. Upload the image to RENDERCAD to create a polished visual for quote packets, manuals, catalog drafts, design reviews, and manufacturing handoffs without exporting the DWG file or building a separate render scene.

Get StartedCommon solutions for GstarCAD Mechanical users
While RENDERCAD generates full rectangular images, you can set the Background to "White" or "Grey" in Advanced Settings for easy masking in post-production.
Use the "Dirty" condition and add "Dusty atmosphere" to the custom prompt.
Choose the "Gentle Orbit" camera setting in RENDERCAD. It adds subtle parallax movement to your product shot.
Use the RENDERCAD Overlay. It takes just 10-60 seconds to generate a render, compared to the minutes or hours required by local ray-tracing.
Yes, there is a downloadable Overlay Tool for desktop, as well as a browser extension.
Prompt "Modern architecture," "Glass facade," and "Blue sky."
Re-render the same history item with different color prompts (e.g., "Red," "Blue").
It handles everything from "Concept Sketches" (using Creative Style) to "Hyper-real Product Shots" (using Exact Style) in a single platform.
By using the "Clean" condition, you can strip away distractions and present a pristine, ideal version of the product to stakeholders instantly.
It generates the actual "fuzz" and weave of the fabric on a pixel level, rather than just wrapping a flat 2D image around the model.
Creating orbit animations in traditional software requires keyframes and hours of rendering. RENDERCAD does it from a single image in under 2 minutes.
The AI automatically centers the composition and balances the lighting to create dramatic, portfolio-worthy images.
