Effective January 7, 2025, prices will increase on many Autodesk subscription renewals.
Autodesk recently announced that the 5% discount on annual renewals will be discontinued and the 10% discount on multi-year renewals will be reduced to 5%. This change does not apply to subscription renewals discounted through trade-in offers like Move to Subscription (M2S) and Transition to Named User.
Here’s how to plan ahead:
Renew your subscription early and before January 7, 2025 to take advantage of current pricing.
Renew for a 3-year term to avoid any possible prices increases during that period.
Feel free to reach out if your subscription expiration date is after January 6th.

Enscape’s 4.2 update introduces powerful features designed to enhance real-time rendering workflows. Here’s a detailed look at what’s new:
1. Revit Graphics Override
This feature allows designers to achieve visual consistency across Revit views, giving presentations and exports a more cohesive look. Now, any adjustments to model appearances in Revit translate directly to Enscape, eliminating the need to adjust graphics between platforms manually.
2. World Coordinate System (WCS) Mapping for Rhino
For Rhino users, WCS Mapping enables material textures to remain true-to-scale regardless of object dimensions or transformations. This means materials such as wood grains and tiled surfaces retain accurate alignment, crucial for models requiring consistent, real-scale materials.
3. Improved Software Ray-Tracing
Enscape 4.2 enhances ray-tracing for software that allows more realistic lighting and shadow behavior, supporting better illumination in challenging spaces. Designers can create renderings that not only capture natural light more convincingly but also refine the level of detail in shadows and reflections.
4. Expanded Section Plane Support
Both Rhino and Vectorworks now support up to six section planes, giving users more flexibility in how they present or dissect their models. This added capability is particularly beneficial for large-scale projects or complex designs where multiple sections are needed to illustrate structural relationships.
5. Enhanced Artistic Visual Modes
For users looking to add a unique, stylized look to their models, Enscape has expanded its Artistic Visual Modes. The latest update includes more texture options and shading effects, ideal for exploring conceptual designs or creating high-impact visuals for presentations.
6. Enscape Impact Add-On
Sustainability has become increasingly integral to design, and Enscape’s new Impact add-on supports energy performance analysis directly within the render. This tool enables designers to make informed, sustainable design decisions right from the earliest stages, considering energy efficiency as part of the creative process.
With Enscape 4.2, designers have a toolkit that boosts accuracy, adaptability, and visual quality. These updates not only improve productivity but also empower architects, interior designers, and planners to deliver more engaging and sustainable designs.
