Enscape

REAL-TIME RENDERING & VIRTUAL REALITY

Enscape is an easy to use real-time rendering & virtual reality plugin for Autodesk Revit, SketchUp, Rhino and ArchiCAD. Enscape provides architects with a quicker way to create rich real-time 3D visualization renderings. This allows for faster design iterations with less preparation time, allowing instantaneous design reviews and presentations.

With real-time rendering technology, your project will impress from every angle, even at different daytimes. There is no need to carefully adjust your perspectives before rending, just start Enscape and fly to the spots you like. It’s fully dynamic and, a lot of fun!

Give your customers the VR experience as if your architecture is already built: with Oculus Rift / HTC VIVE and Enscape, a virtual walkthrough of your building is only one click away. Stop explaining your drawings – start amazing people with your ideas and offer them a virtual reality experience of their architectural project.

SHARING
Enscape usually runs alongside Revit, SketchUp, Rhino and ArchiCAD, mirroring all changes in your construction through real-time rendering. Additionally, you can export the Enscape walkthrough into Windows executable or a WebGL based website that is Enscape hosts for you.

PANORAMA & CARDBOARD

Specifications

Enscape Specifications

Enscape uses ray tracing for its real-time rendering, and almost all calculations Enscape performs are being handled on the graphics card. For this reason, your computer should at least meet the minimum requirements set out below.

Required CAD Software

The Enscape plug-in is provided for the following software:

  • Revit* 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019
  • SketchUp Make & Pro 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019
  • Rhino 5.0 64bit and 6.0
  • ArchiCAD 21 and 22

*Revit LT is not supported

The Enscape installer provides the plugin for all of the above CAD’s, you do not need a dedicated installer specific to your CAD, and you can specify which CAD’s you want to install Enscape for during the installation procedure.

Note: There are conflicts with two other Revit plugins: Colorizer and Techviz. To avoid incompatibilities, please uninstall them before using Enscape.

System Requirements

Enscape performs its renders using your graphics card (GPU). If your CPU and RAM are capable of handling Revit, for instance, and you have a capable GPU, Enscape should work. A good CPU can speed up Enscape’s loading times. The system requirements to run Enscape, as well as the Standalone Executable files that can be exported from Enscape, are identical.

If you want to use Enscape with virtual reality (VR) please refer to the hardware requirements in our Virtual Reality Headset guide.
Unsupported Hardware Radeon 6000 mobile GPU’s
Intel Integrated onboard GPU’s
SLI
Note: you may still experience a performance boost by using SLI AFR mode, which is a setting that can be selected in your NVIDIA driver properties.
In cases where you have multiple GPU’s, Enscape will only utilize one of those GPU’s.
Known Issues: If using Revit, there are known conflicts with two other Revit plugins: Colorizer and Techviz. To avoid incompatibilities, please uninstall them before using Enscape.

For the minimum recommended GPU’s, some performance gains are possible if you experience poor performance.

Recommended Graphics Drivers

Enscape should work if your system is running, as a minimum, our recommended drivers, although we always advise that you should be running the latest available drivers for your GPU:

NVIDIA

AMD
