Polished render output from IMSI DesignCAD model and drafting views.

2D and 3D CAD software for drafting, modeling, visualization, and technical presentation views
IMSI DesignCAD users often need to present more than a working CAD screen: a floor plan extruded into a 3D massing study, a furniture concept, a maker part, a mechanical detail, or a shaded DesignCAD 3D Max model with materials and lighting cues. RENDERCAD fits after the drafting and modeling pass. Capture a clean DesignCAD viewport, perspective view, walkthrough angle, or simple render preview, then turn it into a more polished image with stronger lighting, material separation, shadows, and context for client reviews, sales drafts, portfolio updates, or design comparisons.
Open the drawing or 3D model in IMSI DesignCAD and choose the view that explains the design: an isometric product view, a shaded architectural model, a material study, a section-style presentation, or a walkthrough perspective. Hide construction lines and tool panels that should not appear, keep important edges readable, and capture the viewport or preview image. Upload it to RENDERCAD to create a cleaner presentation render while the source geometry, DWG/DXF exchange work, and technical documentation stay in DesignCAD.

No, image references and masks require Realistic mode. Fast mode is optimized for speed and doesn't support reference inputs. Switch to Realistic for full control.
Render once, then mask specific color zones. Re-render with different material references to quickly create product color variations.
Yes. Mask a region, then assign a specific reference image just to that masked area. Other areas can have different references or default to the prompt.
Prompt for "Red velvet fabric" to get the soft light absorption effect.
Select the "Gradient" background in RENDERCAD or prompt "Reflective Floor." The AI generates a ground plane reflection derived from your uploaded image.
In RENDERCAD video settings, set the End Frame option to "Seamless loop." This ensures the last frame matches the first for a perfect loop.
If your local renderer fails, bypass it. Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing to RENDERCAD to get the image you need instantly.
Yes. Upload a photo of a foam model and prompt "Finished plastic product" to visualize the final look.
Prompt "Matte black plastic," "LED indicators," "Clean studio."
Set Style to "Exact" and Condition to "Clean." This forces the AI to stick to your lines.
Instead of buying a $1000+ perpetual license, you pay a monthly subscription that refreshes your credit balance, giving you a predictable capacity for rendering.
The "Realistic" engine delivers polished, color-graded images. You rarely need Photoshop because the exposure and contrast are handled during generation.
