Render

[cadwork12]

Does anyone know of a software that renders AutoCad Architecture (besides the function that’s built in)

Thanks!

Lumion, Twinmotion, Enscape, Unreal Engine, Blender are a few. Some of the ones listed are not direct import and or require some model prep.   There is also 3ds Max, Cinema3d, and Maya.

Great! I assume some have free trials?

As far as I know, Blender and Unreal Engine are free or free-ish.

Is it possible to scale the material as to look more realistic??

See attached.

Please post a dwg with a few walls and your roof, so I can see dwg units and materials?

I just discovered the built in render was able to do everything I needed.  My apologies, thanks for the help though!
