2. In the "New render" section, select the "Auto mode / Get an exterior render" thumbnail.

3. A window opens displaying the site plan and four elevation buttons. Select the elevation for which you want to get a render from the available options: "North, East, South, and West Elevations."

4. Auto mode automatically generates multiple viewpoints to offer you the most relevant angles for your project.

⚠️ It is necessary to set up the exterior of the project to ensure a polished result—even in auto mode—in order to optimize the calculation of viewpoints.
Select the "View" of your choice by clicking either on the real-time preview thumbnail or on a camera in the 2D plan.

5. Click on "Load the scene".

6.The "Scene" window opens full-size with the selected viewpoint. Access "Scene settings" in the right-hand panel.

You can only modify the "Environment" setting to choose the background for your rendering. For more information: How to Choose a Rendering Environment.

Select a "Cedreo background" or import an image via "Customized background".
