Before you start

Start with a view from SketchUp or another modelling app. Upload an image of the model, rather than the model file itself.

Step by step

  1. Compose the final camera angle. Hide menus, selection outlines, dimensions, and other overlays; export a clear PNG, JPG, or WebP.

  2. Open Guided Render. Choose Interior or Exterior before uploading, then wait for the image analysis.

  3. Review important materials. Choose lighting and describe the view through windows or the exterior surroundings.

  4. Choose image shape and resolution, check the displayed credit cost, and generate. Compare the result with your model before downloading or saving to a project.

Guided Render begins with a clean image of your model.

Settings that matter

Keep the recommended image shape to reduce cropping. Specify the finishes that matter, such as light oak with a matte finish; leave less important surfaces open to interpretation.
