Polished AI render concepts from Vectorworks Designer and Design Suite views.
Vectorworks Design Suite for architecture, landscape, and entertainment design workflows
Vectorworks Design Suite for architecture, landscape, and entertainment design workflows
Open the Vectorworks Designer or Design Suite file, clean up visible classes and layers, and frame a perspective, axonometric, or sheet viewport that shows the story: facade and site, interior option, planted courtyard, exhibit booth, stage look, or mixed-use campus. Hide construction notes if the goal is a marketing image, or keep key annotations when the render supports design review. Export or screenshot the viewport, upload it to RENDERCAD, and prompt for the desired presentation finish while keeping the layout, camera angle, and discipline-specific elements readable.
Modeled by CADSharp in Onshape. Rendered with RENDERCAD.

| Feature | RENDERCAD | Vectorworks Renderworks |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Renderworks styles using Realistic and Redshift render types for photorealistic output |
| Output | Images + Video | Still images, viewport renderings, panoramas, and cloud or local rendering workflows depending on setup |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Set by Vectorworks viewport or export settings; practical limits depend on model complexity, hardware, and cloud workflow |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Scene, render style, lighting, texture, hardware, and cloud queue dependent |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Animation and walkthrough output is frame-based and depends on sequence length, render style, and available hardware |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | Vectorworks file with cameras or viewports, classes and layers, Renderworks styles, materials, lights, backgrounds, and optional cloud processing |
| Input | Screen Snip | Vectorworks model, design layers, sheet viewports, resources, and rendered view settings |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Desktop Vectorworks workflow on supported Windows and macOS systems, with optional cloud services |
| Install | None | Built into eligible Vectorworks workflows; rendering behavior depends on installed version, license, hardware, and cloud access |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Vectorworks licensing and subscription terms vary by region, product package, and account type |

Get StartedCommon solutions for Vectorworks Designer 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.
