The CAD Visualization Challenge

CAD drawings are essential for technical accuracy, but they create communication barriers:

  • Client comprehension gaps: 2D technical drawings are difficult for non-technical clients to visualize
  • Design approval delays: Clients struggle to understand spatial relationships from elevations and plans
  • Presentation limitations: CAD linework lacks the visual impact needed for compelling presentations
  • Iteration bottlenecks: Changes require manual re-rendering of 3D models

Fenestra bridges the gap between technical precision and visual communication, transforming CAD drawings into client-ready 3D visualizations instantly.
