The first moment you see it in action is really jaw-dropp ing. It will rapidly export the selected 3D scene view to a new Enscape w indow, and you will be able to walk around in a rendered environment us ing the default sett ings.

To use it, you simply open your Revit model, and literally just press the Enscape Start but ton. It understands light ing and materials, and enables a plethora of visual effects. If you haven’t heard of it before, here is a quick overview of what it is and how it works…īasically, Enscape is a real-time render ing eng ine for Revit. But the one real-time render ing tool that really makes complete sense for Revit, is Enscape. That is why we have seen a huge increase in the amount of ‘real-time’ render ing tools and eng ines for Revit and BIM. Hav ing to wait each time for the result, then tweak sett ings, then wait aga in… well, we just don’t have time for that in today’s world, right? You may remember the complete re- tool ing of the Material management system a few years back? But even in 20, it is still a time-consum ing process that requires a lot of tweak ing. Over the years, I have seen render ing in Revit come a long way. One of these is the render ing and material management process.

With all my Revit experience, I recognise that there are some th ings that just don’t quite work perfectly in Revit.

As a Revit professional, I have spent a lot of time learn ing how to use Revit: how to play by the rules, and also when to bend them. Every now and then, you come across a software product that makes complete and absolute sense.
