Create clearer presentation renders from Navisworks coordination viewpoints, clash views, and TimeLiner scenes.
Autodesk BIM coordination software for federated model review, clash detection, TimeLiner simulation, quantification, and issue coordination
Autodesk BIM coordination software for federated model review, clash detection, TimeLiner simulation, quantification, and issue coordination
Open the saved viewpoint, clash location, section box, or TimeLiner scene that best explains the coordination problem, then hide review clutter that should not appear in the final visual. Keep useful color overrides, selection sets, and cut planes visible so RENDERCAD can preserve the story of the view while improving lighting, depth, material readability, and composition. This is especially useful when a Navisworks screenshot is technically accurate but too flat for a client meeting, executive update, logistics slide, or field handoff.
Modeled by CADSharp in Onshape. Rendered with RENDERCAD.

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 | Navisworks Autodesk Rendering |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Viewport renderer, Autodesk Rendering, and interactive ray trace tools inside Navisworks |
| Output | Images + Video | Rendered still image exports, viewport images, AVI animation exports, and image sequences from viewpoint, Animator, or TimeLiner sources |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Set in export dialogs by explicit pixel size, current view, or aspect ratio; practical limits depend on model complexity and workflow |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Depends on model size, render style, materials, lighting, quality settings, local hardware, and any cloud rendering workflow |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Animation exports render frame by frame; speed depends on FPS, renderer choice, scene complexity, and output settings |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | Federated model with a saved 3D viewpoint, visibility controls, sectioning, appearance overrides, materials, lighting, exposure, and render style configured |
| Input | Screen Snip | Navisworks Scene View and saved viewpoints from NWD, NWF, NWC, and appended BIM or CAD coordination models |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Navisworks desktop workflow with Autodesk account and cloud options for supported rendering features |
| Install | None | Built into Navisworks; cloud rendering features require Autodesk account access and supported project setup |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Autodesk Navisworks licensing or AEC Collection access required; terms vary by region and account type |
Read the numbers. We trust you to know theirs.
Skip the setup tax. Pick the condition, material, and background with just a click while RENDERCAD handles the heavy lifting. No lighting rigs, no environment setup, no 45-minute wait; get photorealistic results in seconds.

Get StartedCommon solutions for Navisworks 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.
