Your section, straight on, with every room furnished.

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

How it works

Section to render in three steps.

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

  1. 1

    Upload the section

    One building section, 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. Every room gets floors, ceilings, finishes and furniture for its use.

  3. 3

    Download the rendered section

    Flat, exactly as drawn — no perspective. Cut walls and slabs stay cut.

What you upload

What to send

  • One building section, 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 section per image, filling the frame, on a plain white background. A sheet with two sections gives you a render of the sheet.
  • Storey heights, slabs, width and the position and size of every wall, window, door and stair 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, slabs, width and the position and size of every wall, window, door and stair stay as drawn.
What the AI adds
Floors, ceilings, finishes and furniture for each room, plus light, materials and sky.
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.

FAQ

Section to render, answered.

Yes. Cut walls and slabs stay cut, and every room gets floors, ceilings, finishes and furniture for its use.
