Good Gets Better – Now You Can Import Directly From Workbench To KeyShot
With a GrabCAD Workbench project and an installation of KeyShot, you can begin creating renders of your models and share them on GrabCAD. In GrabCAD, you have the option from the model viewing area of your Workbench project in the upper right to ‘Open with KeyShot’.
How to win clients and master your design reviews
Clients are tough. They have a vision in their head that they struggle to share. They don’t really review your designs. They ask for view after view of your work until they can see the exact detail they need. Then, they send you changes which make you backtrack on your progress or even miss a deadline.
Tips of the Trade – Rendering Tricks
Rendering is easy to learn, yet tricky to master. There are lots of ways to render a design, and none are made the same. We gathered up a few of the best tutorial and answers on GrabCAD Tutorial section for the benefit of the community.

Rappin’ about CAD and Rendering
And finally- our former Community Manager and friend Josh Mings posted on Solidsmack one of the funniest pieces of music ever heard by our ears. Music that really only GrabCAD would understand. Check these lyrics out. “I drew me a Rolex, so I looked the bomb/Threw in an exploded view and a BOM/My graphics card ain’t wack, I keep it real dude/My pimp cup’s blingin’ when I tweak the RealView.”
