RNDRS · CAD to render

CAD linework to client-ready image

Every practice has CAD output; few have time for the 3D pipeline that turns it into images. RNDRS goes straight from drawing to photograph — elevations become facades, sections become atmospheric cutaways, 3D exports become finished renders, in seconds.

How it works

01 · Export

Elevation, section or 3D view from any CAD package

02 · Upload

Drop the drawing onto the canvas

03 · Prompt

"Render this elevation: ironspot brick, deep reveals, low sun"

04 · Render

The drawing becomes a photoreal image

Works with any CAD tool

AutoCAD, Archicad, Vectorworks, BricsCAD, DraftSight — if it exports a PNG, it renders. No plugins, no version-matching, no IT ticket.

Elevations are the sweet spot

A clean elevation carries everything the AI needs: openings, storeys, proportion. The result reads as a straight-on architectural photograph of the built facade.

Sections that explain space

Render sections into sectional perspectives with light, material and people — the drawing type clients struggle with becomes the one they remember.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI render 2D CAD drawings directly?

Yes — that's the point of this tool. Export the drawing as an image and the AI interprets the architecture in the linework to produce a photoreal render. No 3D model required.

What makes a good CAD export for rendering?

Clean, dark linework on a light background at 1500px or wider. Turn off dimensions, hatches and annotation layers for the clearest read.

Does it work with DWG or DXF files?

Upload images rather than CAD files — plot or export the view to PNG/JPG first. This keeps RNDRS compatible with every CAD package and version.

How accurate is the result to my drawing?

Opening positions, storey heights and massing follow your linework. Materials, context and lighting come from your prompt — so the drawing stays the design authority.
