Turn reviewed SketchUp Viewer scenes into clear presentation visuals.
SketchUp Viewer supports design review around shared SketchUp models, including saved scenes, standard views, navigation, tag visibility, display options, and model context. It is useful for choosing the approved angle that should carry through to a presentation image without asking reviewers to interpret a live 3D walkthrough.

SketchUp Viewer is a practical place for architects, interior designers, fabricators, and clients to inspect a shared design without rebuilding its view for every conversation. A model can contain saved scenes that preserve a chosen camera and visual state, while viewers can navigate, move between standard views, inspect tags, and adjust display or shadow settings where access permits. That makes it useful for agreeing on the one exterior approach, room perspective, product configuration, or renovation comparison that needs clearer visual communication. Once the team has selected a scene, a clean capture of that view can be used in RENDERCAD as the composition reference for a presentation-focused image. Give the image a specific direction such as warm daylight, material refinement, a furnished interior, landscaping, or a restrained product backdrop. The result can support a client deck, concept board, option comparison, or early marketing discussion. It should be treated as a visual interpretation of the approved view, not as evidence that the model, dimensions, construction details, or site conditions have changed.
Open the shared model in SketchUp Viewer and begin with the saved scene that the project team has already discussed. If no scene exists, compose a stable perspective or standard view that clearly shows the decision at hand. Use tag visibility to remove unrelated options or context, and use display settings, shadows, or an active section cut only when they make the spatial story easier to read. Avoid selection highlights, comment pins, measurement overlays, and crowded interface elements in the capture. Send the resulting viewport image to RENDERCAD with one focused brief that identifies the intended materials, lighting, occupancy, landscape, or campaign mood. Compare the generated image with the original SketchUp view to make sure the approved massing, camera direction, openings, and major objects still read correctly. Use the selected image in a review, proposal, or concept presentation, then return to SketchUp for navigation, comments, measurements, and any model-authoring decision. For API implementation details, use RENDERCAD developer documentation.

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.

Choose a background or describe the intended environment and lighting. Generated reflections and illumination are visual interpretations, not a scene-based light simulation.
4K is an optional output-resolution step. It increases pixel dimensions but does not restore missing source detail or guarantee print suitability.
It guides the video toward a looping transition. Review continuity after export because the first and last frames may still need editing.
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.
Yes. Mask the product and direct the background with an authorized environment reference. Review the full result because product details can still drift.
Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing and describe condensation or water droplets in the custom prompt. Generated placement and appearance vary, so iterate or mask a region when needed.
Choose the Dusty condition and describe the intended atmosphere. Generated dust is illustrative, so review how it affects important product details.
Yes. Choose the Dolly In or Dolly Out camera preset in the Video panel, then review the clip for product and geometry fidelity.
Use the RENDERCAD Overlay to capture a clear viewport without rebuilding a separate render scene. Image renders complete in 60 seconds.
Yes. A current desktop capture app and browser extension are available, and the browser upload workflow remains available without either tool.
