Polished proposal visuals from Scanifly PV layouts and 3D site views.
Solar survey, PV design, and field operations software that combines remote or drone-based site views with roof layouts, shading, and plan-set workflows.
Solar survey, PV design, and field operations software that combines remote or drone-based site views with roof layouts, shading, and plan-set workflows.
Scanifly supports solar teams from an early remote layout through field-verified design work. Its views can bring together a roof or ground-mount site, module arrays, roof planes, keepouts, obstructions, trees, and solar shading context. That makes a completed Scanifly 3D design view a useful source image when the goal is to explain how a proposed system sits on the property, rather than merely show a panel count. RENDERCAD can turn a carefully selected Scanifly viewport into a clearer, more polished still for a homeowner conversation, sales presentation, design review, or project handoff. Choose a perspective that keeps the module placement, roof geometry, nearby shade sources, and meaningful site context legible. The resulting image can make the proposal easier to discuss, but it should not be treated as engineering evidence or as a substitute for Scanifly's underlying layout, production, shading, permit, and installation decisions.
First complete the technical work in Scanifly: confirm the selected site view, array placement, roof segments or ground-mount area, relevant keepouts, and shading context. For a later-stage project, a drone-based 3D model can be especially useful because it shows the actual roof form and surrounding trees or structures. Compose a clean perspective that a non-technical viewer can read at a glance, then hide tool panels, dimensions, and dense analytical overlays that do not belong in a presentation image. Capture that viewport and use RENDERCAD to refine visual qualities such as daylight, roof and module materials, landscaping, and overall property context. Keep the treatment faithful to the visible array arrangement and do not use the polished image to infer production or shade results. Pair it with the original Scanifly design, reports, and plan documentation, which remain the source of truth for specifications and project decisions.

RENDERCAD uses a maintained selection of image-generation models for different rendering tasks. Results can vary by model and input, so compare generated output with the source design before relying on geometry, materials, or dimensions.

The model can reinterpret curves and surface transitions from the 2D input. Compare the result with the source because edges and geometry can drift.
It accepts a clear viewport screenshot, so a separate local material, light, and camera scene is not required for the image-generation workflow.
It lets you describe motion, steam, lighting changes, or atmosphere for a generated clip. Added details may not exist in the source model.
Use authorized product photography to guide angles, shadows, or highlights. Review the result for product and brand fidelity.
Mask visible components separately when they need different material or color direction. Keep the source model or drawing beside the output because generated boundaries and part relationships can drift.
Reuse the same authorized lighting, material, and style references, then review every output against the brand system. References can help consistency but do not guarantee it.
Capture the model, describe the wood species and grain direction, and add an authorized material reference when needed. Generated grain varies and should be reviewed for scale and orientation.
Choose a suitable background and describe a reflective floor. Inspect the generated reflection for alignment, product fidelity, and unintended details.
Videos complete in 2-5 minutes.
If the source viewport is visible but a local renderer fails, capture a clear screenshot and use it as a RENDERCAD input. Image renders complete in 60 seconds.
Yes. Upload a photo of a foam model and prompt "Finished plastic product" to visualize the final look.
Use the web upload workflow, the current desktop capture app, or the browser extension to submit a selected 2D view. This is a screenshot workflow, not a native CAD-file or renderer integration.
