Save a scene
Set the camera you want and save it as a Scene. Camera ▸ Two-Point Perspective keeps verticals straight, which reads as architectural photography.

Before you start
Prepare your SketchUp view
SketchUp is quick to model in, but a screenshot still reads as a model. Export the scene, drop it into RenderChat and describe the materials, light and atmosphere you want. The AI uses your massing and camera as its starting point, and you refine the result through follow-up messages instead of setting up a renderer.
Use a clean style
Pick a style with plain faces and thin edges, or switch edges off. Turn shadows on in the Shadows panel so the AI has a cue for light direction.
Export the view
Hide guides, axes and section planes, then File ▸ Export ▸ 2D Graphic at 2000 px or wider. A screenshot works too, including from SketchUp Free.

Example briefs
SketchUp briefs to start from
Copy a brief, paste it into RenderChat with your SketchUp view, and change the materials and mood to match your project.
Photoreal exterior render of this SketchUp model. Keep the building form, openings and camera. Light timber cladding, dark metal window frames, board-formed concrete base. Late-afternoon sun from the left with soft shadows, mature trees, two people walking.
Turn this SketchUp interior into a photoreal render. Keep the room layout and furniture positions. Oak floor, warm limewash walls, linen sofa, soft daylight through the windows, editorial interior photography.
Seedream 5.0 in RenderChat
Working with Seedream 5.0
ByteDance's Seedream 5.0, available in RenderChat as Pro and Lite. Each render is sent as one complete edit request built from your image, references and brief.
- Seedream Lite chooses the output aspect ratio automatically; use Pro when you need a fixed frame.
- Restate the key constraints on each variation, since requests do not carry earlier turns.
Quality check
What to check before you share it
- Window mullions, railings and other thin geometry — they drift first.
- Faces that share a color in SketchUp can merge into one material. Color the main surfaces distinctly before exporting.
- The roofline and openings against your model view before the image goes to a client.
