Can Renderz open DWG files?

No. Export the plan, elevation, or 3D view as an image first, then upload that image to Renderz.

Can a 2D plan become a perspective render?

A plan is best suited to a top-down rendered plan. For a photographic perspective, use a 3D view or perspective source with visible depth.

Should dimensions and annotations remain visible?

Hide annotations that should not appear in the final image. Keep only lines that help the AI understand the design.

Is the result a construction document?

No. The render is for visualization and communication. Use the original CAD drawing for dimensions, coordination, and technical decisions.

AutoCAD workflow

Turn AutoCAD design views into compelling visuals

Technical drawings explain dimensions; visualizations explain the experience. Export a plan, elevation, or shaded 3D view from AutoCAD and use Renderz to add materials, furniture, landscape, and atmosphere for early communication.

See the workflow

01 · Workflow

From CAD export to visual narrative

Choose the right output for the result you want to communicate.

Choose the source

Use a clean plan for a top-down visualization, an elevation for a façade study, or a 3D view for a photographic perspective.

Export clearly

Save a high-resolution PNG or image with strong line contrast and without dimensions you do not want to appear.

Describe the project

Add use, material palette, furnishing, context, and light in plain language.

02 · AutoCAD

Make technical work easier to understand

Plans become spatial

Add floor finishes, furniture, and visual hierarchy to a readable plan without changing the source drawing.

Elevations gain material

Test façade palettes and landscape context from a clean exported elevation.

Earlier client alignment

Communicate an intended atmosphere before a detailed 3D visualization model exists.

AutoCAD sources you can visualize

Floor plans

Create furnished, materialized top-down views for sales, planning, and client review.

Façade elevations

Explore cladding, colors, glazing, planting, and daylight while preserving a frontal reading.

Shaded 3D views

Turn basic AutoCAD solids into atmospheric perspectives for early-stage presentations.
