How to mimic this graphic dtrawing

Hello, I'm wondering how I can get this type if graphic using solidworks. It is typically used for architecture.
I'm faster modeling on SW than autocad, but to equal this type of graphic It may take longer than on autocad.
Shadow, hatch, colour...
Thanks

Hey,

there are a few ways to streamline this process using the API. For instance, automating hatch distances based on sheet scale or saving templates for reusable colors and patterns could be effective options.

I’ll also check if there’s a way to enable shadows directly in a drawing. However, to be honest, I don’t believe this feature is currently available in SolidWorks.

Let me know what would help you most to speed up your workflow!

Thanks for the advice. As per the shadow, Realview is not contributing to a nice look at all. May be better to export as dxf and fine tune it on autocad! Not ideal but for sure SW got a huge limitation for freedoom on graphic, either in the model or drawing space.

Adding a sunlight improved the quality somehow, but I the display on the drawing sheet is not the same. Realview is turn on, but no shadow at all.
Any idea why?
