Create polished presentation renders from Navisworks Freedom NWD and 3D DWF viewports.
Autodesk viewer for published NWD and 3D DWF project review files
Autodesk viewer for published NWD and 3D DWF project review files
Open the NWD or 3D DWF in Navisworks Freedom and use saved viewpoints, model hierarchy, object properties, redlines, comments, and navigation tools to frame the view that needs clearer communication. Capture the viewport, then upload the image to RENDERCAD and describe the desired finish, lighting, season, occupancy, or construction phase. Use the render for presentations while the original coordination package remains unchanged. For API workflows, see /developers.
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 Freedom Viewer |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Real-time Navisworks viewer display with navigation tools, saved viewpoint playback, and material and lighting display |
| Output | Images + Video | On-screen NWD and 3D DWF review views with model hierarchy, object properties, viewpoints, animations, redlines, and comments; presentation image output usually comes from a screen capture workflow |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Based on the display or capture method used for the current viewport |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Interactive viewing performance depends on project file size, model hierarchy, graphics settings, and local workstation hardware |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Animation playback and captured video depend on the embedded review data, model complexity, display settings, and capture workflow |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | Published NWD or 3D DWF with desired saved viewpoints, review markups, visibility, materials, and lighting already prepared in the authoring Navisworks workflow |
| Input | Screen Snip | Published NWD and 3D DWF review files |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Desktop Autodesk viewer workflow for stakeholder review of published project models |
| Install | None | Local viewer install from Autodesk; administrative rights may be required depending on the environment |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Viewer availability and usage terms are controlled by Autodesk and may vary by organization or region |

Get StartedCommon solutions for Navisworks Freedom 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.
