TIP: These suggestions presume the same version of Enscape working on your computer yesterday is the same version of Enscape not working on your computer today. The tips below will help you quickly and easily get back to where you started so everything looks as expected in Enscape. It's likely that something changed in an unexpected way. Or a less experienced team member doing something quickly (looks fine when printed!), while not understanding the implications to other parts of project.ĭon't panic. We've all experienced the unintended consequences of a design consultant updating linked files. Why does it seem that things tend to break just before an important deadline? Well, a lot of things are moving quickly just before an important deadline.

You get the idea - there's lots of places for unexpected behavior to hide. Unfortunately Revit has Phasing, Worksets, Groups, Design Options. Remember how complicated Layers were in AutoCAD? Fortunately Revit doesn't have Layers. But it can be hard to figure out what Revit is telling Enscape to render amid the stress of an quickly approaching deadline. In most cases, Enscape is rendering exactly what Revit is telling Enscape to render.

Panicked designer exclaiming, 'Enscape was working fine yesterday and today we have an important deadline and Enscape is broken!' Take a look below and share what you think! The top images are renderings from Revit and the bottom imager are renderings from Enscape.It's an email I get at least once a week. We used our Warehouse Remodel project to compare the renderings. You can pause the instant updates feature in Enscape and resume a little later after you made all the changes while in Revit you have to send back to the cloud each time you want it to update and it can take a couple of minutes. Being able to send views to the cloud allows you to continue working while in Enscape you have to wait for it to update after each change even if they aren’t in the view. The great thing with Enscape is that it renders instantly and updates changes as they are made. This was helpful to see how materials were working with each other and in the spaces. Before using Enscape we would buy credits and send views from Revit to render in the cloud so we could continue to work as it rendered. As we continue to work in (and love) Enscape, we thought it would be interesting to compare render views from Enscape and Revit.
