Does Renderz open PLN files?

No. Publish or export the selected ArchiCAD view as an image, then upload it to Renderz.

Can I use an ArchiCAD 3D window screenshot?

Yes. A clean 3D window view with a clear camera and readable geometry is a suitable source.

Will Renderz change my BIM model?

No. Renderz only receives the exported image. Your ArchiCAD file, properties, and model data are not modified.

Is the image suitable for technical validation?

Use it for visual exploration and communication. Validate geometry, compliance, and construction information in the ArchiCAD model and documents.

ArchiCAD workflow

Create fast photoreal visuals from ArchiCAD

Your BIM model already contains the design. Renderz helps turn a selected ArchiCAD view into an atmospheric image for review: export the perspective, elevation, or plan, then describe the intended material palette, landscape, interior, and light.

See the workflow

01 · Workflow

From ArchiCAD view to presentation image

Use a clean BIM view as the visual structure for the render.

Prepare the view

Choose a 3D window perspective, axonometric, elevation, or plan that clearly communicates the project.

Publish an image

Export a high-resolution image with the layers and elements you want the result to follow.

Add the visual brief

Describe materials, furnishing, landscape, season, and light to create presentation alternatives.

02 · ArchiCAD

Visual feedback without disrupting BIM

Use established viewpoints

Work from the cameras and documentation views already organized in the ArchiCAD project.

Explore finishes earlier

Compare façade and interior directions before every material is fully authored in the BIM model.

Communicate beyond BIM

Create images that help clients understand atmosphere while the model remains the technical source of truth.

Generic Renderz demonstration

Useful ArchiCAD visualization outputs

3D window views

Create interior or exterior perspectives with richer material, light, and context.

Elevations and façades

Test cladding palettes and landscape character while keeping a clear frontal composition.

Rendered plans

Transform a clean floor plan into a more accessible furnished overview.
