Getting Started

What file formats does CAD2Real support? +

CAD2Real supports:

  • Images: PNG, JPG - screenshots from any CAD software
  • 3D Models: OBJ, glTF, FBX

The easiest method is taking a PNG screenshot of your CAD view. This works with AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, SketchUp, Revit, Rhino, Vectorworks, and any other software.

How long does it take to generate a render? +

Most renders are generated in 30-60 seconds. Complex scenes or higher resolution outputs may take slightly longer.

Do I need to learn rendering software? +

No. CAD2Real uses AI to handle all the rendering complexity. You simply upload your CAD image and describe what you want in natural language. No V-Ray, Lumion, or other rendering software knowledge required.

Can I use CAD2Real with AutoCAD LT? +

Yes! Since CAD2Real works with PNG screenshots, it's compatible with any AutoCAD version including LT. Just export your view as an image and upload it.

Quality & Output

What resolution are the renders? +

Standard renders are generated at high resolution suitable for presentations and marketing. Higher resolution options (4K, 8K) are available for professional use.

Will the AI change my building's design? +

No. The AI preserves the exact geometry and perspective from your CAD image. It only adds photorealistic materials, lighting, and environment. If you notice any geometry changes, add "Maintain EXACT geometry from reference image" to your prompt.

Can I create video walkthroughs? +

Yes. After generating a static render you're happy with, you can create video walkthroughs with camera movements like orbits, push-ins, and tracking shots.

Can I iterate on the results? +

Absolutely. Simply describe what you want to change in natural language: "make the roof darker", "add more trees", "change to evening lighting". The AI will generate a new version with your changes.
