Hi

 

I use Autocad LT and create 2D images for planning and building regulation approvals.  When I want to create a planning drawing with colour I have complaints from clients that the rendering using autocad hatching does not look very good.  Vectorworks does this well but it is expensive and I already know how to use Autocad.

 

Is there an autocad product that allows better looking rendering that looks more like watercolours.

 

I'm not looking for 3d photo realistic imaging just to be clear.  I used to use a program called squiggle that made straight lines appear hand drawn which was great.

 

Attached is the look I'm after.

 

Thanks in advance.

If you have the full version of AutoCAD you could use visual styles (vscurrent command) to achieve the sketch line effect
