Enscape Impact Add-On
This brand-new add-on enables you to view your building's energy performance in the early stages of design, empowering you to make informed decisions about your design’s sustainability. It is compatible with Enscape 4.1 and 4.2.

Access advanced building performance data.
Communicate performance efficiency easily with stakeholders.

Revit Graphics Override
See material and color overrides in renderings as defined by Revit Filters. This feature ensures that rendering tools reflect the same object appearances and overrides used in Revit, enhancing workflow and presentation accuracy.

Maintain consistency between Revit and Enscape, streamlining the design and presentation process.
Control rendering views by displaying or hiding Revit Filter overrides in Enscape.

Support for WCS Mapping in Rhino
This feature allows you to utilize World Coordinate System (WCS) mapping for materials, providing a more flexible workflow and ensuring real-world scale and accuracy, especially for library materials set by default to use WCS mapping.

Get more accurate visual outputs with precise material rendering.
Streamline the design process with library materials that default to WCS mapping.

Software Ray-Tracing Improvements
The improvements are software ray-tracing for global illumination and sun shadows, which make your renders more lifelike. Enjoy more realistic lighting, detailed shadows, mirror-like reflections, and enhanced color accuracy. And your sun shadows benefit from more accurate light direction, intensity, and softness.

Deliver high-quality renders on any device, including Mac and machines with integrated graphics.
Achieve visual fidelity comparable to hardware ray-tracing on machines without it.

Multiple Section Planes
Section-cut drawings are critical for architectural understanding and communicating a space. This update enables Enscape to support rendering up to six section planes in Rhino and Clip Cubes in Vectorworks, enhancing detailed cross-sectional visualizations.

Get better client understanding and deliver impactful presentations.
Have more options for control and tell a design story exactly how you want to.

Artistic Visual Mode Improvements

Artistic visual modes are rendering styles that allow you to illustrate your ideas easily during the conceptual stage of the design process. The updates in Enscape 4.2 introduce adjustable texture controls in Watercolor mode, and Colored Pencil and Watercolor modes now show the tints of the transparent materials instead of light blue everywhere.
