Architects and designers working in Revit and SketchUp often produce fast concept visuals, but those images can fall short when it comes to detail, lighting, or presentation-ready quality. That’s where RunDiffusion’s AI image enhancement tools come in.
Using models like SeeDreamV4 Edit and Nano Banana Edit, you can take basic image renders from design software and enhance them into polished, high-resolution visuals. These tools support architectural workflows, helping you boost render quality without needing extra software or manual retouching.

Why Enhance Renders from Revit and SketchUp?
While Revit and SketchUp are excellent for modeling and layout, the visuals they produce can often:
- Appear flat or low contrast
- Lack photorealistic lighting
- Miss texture depth or material detail
RunDiffusion’s enhancement models help:
- Boost realism and sharpness
- Refine architectural detail
- Add textures, lighting, and mood
- Prepare renders for portfolios, presentations, or client approval
You can upload a simple PNG and use prompt based refinement tools to transform your render in minutes.
