Your elevation, straight on, with real materials.

Upload a 2D elevation — from CAD, Revit, SketchUp or a technical hand drawing. It comes back as the same elevation, straight on, with real materials, glass, shadows and sky.

How it works

Elevation to render in three steps.

Three steps. No 3D software, no learning curve.

  1. 1

    Upload the elevation

    One facade elevation, seen straight on: an export from CAD, Revit or SketchUp, or a clean technical hand drawing.

  2. 2

    Pick a style

    Materials come from the style you choose; light from Customize scene.

  3. 3

    Download the rendered elevation

    Flat and frontal, exactly as drawn — no perspective. Ready for boards, approvals and presentations.

What you upload

What to send

  • One facade elevation, seen straight on: an export from CAD, Revit or SketchUp (parallel projection), or a clean technical hand drawing.
  • Send it clean: no dimension lines, labels, notes or title block — text in the drawing distorts in the render. Dense hatching can be misread as a material.
  • One elevation per image, filling the frame, on a plain white background. A sheet with four elevations gives you a render of the sheet.
  • Storey heights, width and the position and size of every window and door stay as drawn. Materials come from the style you choose; light from Customize scene.

Accepted files: PNG, JPG, WEBP or PDF.

What stays
Storey heights, width and the position and size of every window and door stay as drawn. No perspective is added.
What the AI adds
Materials, colours, glass, shadows, depth and sky, in the style you choose.
Resolution
Render natively in 2K or 4K, or upscale later from 2K to 4K
After rendering
Swap materials, remove and add objects without touching the rest of the image
What this feature doesn't do
  • A page with several drawings becomes a render of the whole page — crop one view per image.
  • Exact dimensions: the image is a presentation, not a construction document.
  • Text, signs and logos in the image may come out distorted.
Examples

FAQ

Elevation to render, answered.

No. The view stays flat and frontal, exactly as drawn. Storey heights, width and every opening stay where they are.
