Turn Solid Edge structural frame and weldment views into polished visuals.
Create clear presentation visuals from Solid Edge structural frames and weldment assemblies. Use a prepared assembly view to communicate how standard sections, bracing, plates, and installed equipment form a machine base, guard, platform, skid, or support structure before the audience needs to inspect the CAD model itself.

Solid Edge Frame supports the creation of structural frames and weldments from frame skeletons and 3D members. Because these assemblies remain associated with the wider assembly, a visual can show both the fabricated structure and the equipment, panels, or interfaces it supports. RENDERCAD is useful when a machine builder or fabricator needs a focused image of a skid, machine base, enclosure frame, guard, work platform, or support structure for a proposal, design review, sales presentation, or fabrication discussion. A well chosen Solid Edge viewport can make member direction, cross-bracing, base plates, access openings, and the intended relationship to nearby equipment much easier for a non-CAD reviewer to understand. It is most effective as a communication layer around the engineering model, not as a replacement for Solid Edge assembly data, drawings, cut lists, weld callouts, dimensions, or manufacturing approval.
Finish the structural frame or weldment in its Solid Edge assembly, then select the view that best explains the design decision at hand. For an overall presentation, use a three-quarter view that preserves the silhouette, major sections, braces, and installed equipment. For a fabrication or coordination discussion, create a closer view of the base plates, gussets, openings, equipment mounts, or connection area that needs attention. Suppress frame skeletons, reference planes, selection highlighting, temporary construction geometry, and unrelated components. Keep enough surrounding context to show where the structure attaches or what it supports. Capture the clean viewport and use RENDERCAD to develop a polished visual with a readable material and finish direction for review slides, proposals, customer updates, or product communication. Return to the Solid Edge model and associated drawings whenever exact member profiles, cut lengths, weld requirements, clearances, or build information must be checked.

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.

Start from an image that clearly shows the existing separated components, then choose the Exploded View product motion. Review the clip against the source because generated motion can alter part boundaries or relationships.
Submit a clear viewport screenshot to the web workflow instead of running a local scene render. The generation request runs in the cloud while your source application remains separate.
Open the current desktop app or browser extension, select the viewport region, and send the captured image into the screenshot-based workflow. Availability and device requirements are documented on the current download pages.
Log into RENDERCAD Studio in a supported browser, upload a clear CAD screenshot or another supported 2D input, and generate an image for review.
It supports fast visual feedback from a clear viewport capture. Image renders complete in 60 seconds.
The current desktop app or browser extension can capture a selected viewport region and send that screenshot into the image workflow. The web upload path remains available without a CAD plugin.
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.
Yes. A sketch can guide lighting direction, color zones, or composition. The generated interpretation may add or change details, so review it against the source.
Image references and masks are applied during the initial image render. Once you have your styled image, use the Image-to-Video feature to animate it with camera movements.
Yes. Mask the product and direct the background with an authorized environment reference. Review the full result because product details can still drift.
