Before you start
Prepare your Archicad 3D view
Archicad's 3D window already holds your design. Save the perspective you want, describe the finishes and setting, and use RenderChat to explore how the building could look before you set up a full rendering pass.
Choose a 3D style
Use a shaded 3D style with contours on and sun shadows enabled. Hide markers, grids and section planes.
Save the 3D window
With the 3D window active, use File ▸ Save As and choose PNG at 2000 px or wider. A full-screen screenshot also works.

Reve 2.1 in RenderChat
Working with Reve 2.1
Reve's 2.1 image model. RenderChat sends it one complete edit request per render, at high resolution.
- Settle composition with a faster model first, then use Reve for the high-resolution pass.
- Describe the light and materials precisely; each request is read on its own.
Quality check
What to check before you share it
- Balcony and window counts across the facade.
- Ground-floor entrances and how the building meets the ground.
- Material boundaries on the facade against your design.
