Enscape 3.3 offers enhanced workflows for site context

Real time viz tool makes it easier to use OpenStreetMap data to add low poly buildings, streets and topography to scenes


Enscape 3.3, the latest release of the real-time visualization tool, offers a range of new features including the ability to import building surroundings into renderings, improved visualization of glass and water surfaces, and new assets and materials for education building projects.

To provide important context for designs, low poly buildings, streets and topography can now be imported into renderings by utilizing OpenStreetMap data. Simply open ‘Site Context’ within the Enscape rendering window, enter an address or coordinates, then choose to import all surroundings, or select to import building and landmarks, streets and sidewalks, or topography.

A new Material Overwrite feature is designed to make it easier to exchange Enscape materials from within the Material Editor. According to Enscape, this will save the user from importing and exporting materials manually and from saving data files to the system.

Finally, Camera Sync Optimization enhancements are designed to help improve navigation in Revit and Archicad.
