Welcome to RenderWorks Help Pages.®

Welcome to RenderWorks™ for VectorWorks®. RenderWorks is a high end rendering package designed specifically for VectorWorks by the makers of VectorWorks. It allows you to create and edit textures and map them to a multitude of VectorWorks objects. RenderWorks seemlessly integrates into VectorWorks providing a familiar and comfortable interface. In VectorWorks, a texture is an image or shader that has additional information such as transparency, shininess and projection appended to it. Once the image has been added to VectorWorks as a texture, it can be mapped to the surface of VectorWorks objects. Mapping applies the texture to the objects surface or surfaces with your specified projection settings. Upon rendering, the object will take on the texture’s appearance. This can make your drawings look more realistic.
