Create polished visuals from SpaceClaim Direct Modeler geometry prep and CAD repair views.
Ansys SpaceClaim Direct Modeler for direct CAD editing, geometry repair, and simulation prep visualization
Ansys SpaceClaim Direct Modeler for direct CAD editing, geometry repair, and simulation prep visualization
Open the .scdoc file or imported CAD in SpaceClaim Direct Modeler, complete the direct editing, Repair, or Prepare work needed for the view, hide construction clutter, and choose an angle that shows the model change or simulation-ready geometry. Capture the viewport and upload it to RENDERCAD to create a polished still for review packets, sales engineering, reports, training material, or early marketing drafts. For repeatable API-based workflows, start from /developers rather than embedding implementation details in page copy.
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 | SpaceClaim Direct Modeler |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Desktop direct modeling CAD environment for geometry creation, repair, defeaturing, and model prep inside Ansys workflows |
| Output | Images + Video | Prepared CAD geometry, .scdoc files, drawings, screenshots, meshing inputs, and downstream simulation or manufacturing handoff data |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Viewport and screenshot quality depend on display, export settings, and any downstream rendering or documentation tool |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Viewport previews are interactive; polished rendering is usually handled through downstream visualization or presentation workflows |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Not a primary SpaceClaim Direct Modeler workflow; motion or video output depends on downstream tools |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | Prepare or repair the geometry, choose visible bodies, colors, sections, and camera orientation, then capture the view or transfer the model downstream |
| Input | Screen Snip | SpaceClaim .scdoc geometry, imported CAD files, mesh or STL repair views, simplified assemblies, and Workbench geometry cells |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Installed desktop workflow connected with Ansys Workbench and downstream analysis tools |
| Install | None | Requires local SpaceClaim Direct Modeler access, compatible Ansys environment, and valid licensing |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Commercial Ansys licensing varies by product bundle, region, account type, and entitlement |

Get StartedCommon solutions for SpaceClaim Direct Modeler 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.
