Develop key Cloud Services views into focused presentation visuals.

Cloud workspace for sharing Vectorworks documents, offloading viewport and panorama processing, and assembling interactive design presentations
Vectorworks Cloud Services supports a presentation workflow around Vectorworks documents: teams can share project material, offload processing for viewports and panoramas, and build boards or linked panorama tours for review. That makes it a practical starting point for architecture, landscape, interiors, and entertainment teams that need one particularly persuasive still alongside a broader interactive presentation. Select a Vectorworks perspective, sheet viewport, or panorama view that already establishes the proposed layout, camera position, key objects, and design intent. RENDERCAD can use that image as a visual brief for a presentation-focused variation, such as a clearer material direction, daylight or evening atmosphere, planting character, interior finish, or contextual scene. The resulting image can support a proposal cover, option comparison, stakeholder review, or a featured panel on a Cloud presentation board. It should complement, rather than replace, the panorama tour and shared project outputs. Keep Vectorworks and Cloud Services as the source of truth for the model, drawings, revisions, measurements, and collaborative comments.
In Vectorworks, prepare the view that deserves close discussion: a sheet viewport for a facade or plan-adjacent perspective, a saved interior view, a site and planting scene, or an event or exhibit setting. Remove construction-only clutter and confirm that the camera, massing, principal materials, and important objects communicate the option accurately. Send the relevant task to Vectorworks Cloud Services when cloud processing or sharing is useful, then review the rendered viewport or panorama before selecting a single framed image. Upload that image to RENDERCAD and describe the intended presentation direction while asking to preserve the established camera and design-defining elements. Use the refined still as a hero image on a Cloud presentation board, in an option set, or beside a linked panorama tour. Return to the Vectorworks file and Cloud Services outputs for any change to geometry, documentation, panoramic navigation, or review record.

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.

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.
RENDERCAD is standalone. You don't need a Vectorworks Cloud Services rendering license - just the ability to view your model on screen.
Generation runs on cloud infrastructure, so a local rendering GPU is not required. The laptop still needs a supported browser, network access, and enough resources for the source application and image upload.
The core workflow is available in a supported browser and accepts a selected 2D image, so it does not require a rendering plugin in the source application.
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.
A relevant reference can communicate palette, material, lighting, or composition more directly than text alone. Add a concise instruction and review the result rather than assuming the reference will be followed exactly.
Yes. Use a mask to target the background separately from the foreground product. Review both regions because generation can still alter unmasked content.
Yes, if the license permits this use. A stock image can guide a background or environment, while placement and lighting remain generated interpretations.
Capture a clear view, describe the leather type and finish, and use a material reference when surface direction matters. Review the generated depth and stitching rather than treating them as product specifications.
