Lite User Manual

D5 Lite is a real-time rendering plugin embedded in SketchUp, Rhino, and Revit, built for the schematic design phase. It brings rendering into your modeling software so you can see real materials and lighting as you model, and you can sync your work to D5 Render for further refinement.

Feature Overview

Materials and lights vary by modeling software; see the corresponding chapter for details.

How to Use This Manual

• Browse by feature: the left-hand menu is organized as Getting Started / Real-time Rendering / Materials / Lights / Environment / Asset Library / AI Generation, and so on.

• Look up by software: materials, lights, and similar content differ by modeling software and are listed separately, with the software name in the title (such as "Materials · Rhino").
