Is it possible to import an FBX file into Enscape without other software?

I'd like to convert some FBX exports into Enscape experiences. Is this possible or does it have to go through a software plugin like Revit?

I'm afraid not at all - Since Enscape is a plugin only and not a standalone software, you'll require any supported version of Revit, Rhino, ArchiCAD, or SketchUp. Feel free to forward your request directly to PM too of course, but for now, there are no plans to develop Enscape as a non-plugin.

Ok done!

For reference, we have a client who has 300+ buildings where we are automatically creating optimized FBXs file of their Revit buildings on a daily/weekly basis.

Would be a neat synergy if these could be opened in Enscape for analysis.

As a workaround, you could turn the buildings into assets using the asset editor (which supports fbx imports). Then place the asset in one of the supported programs?

Transmutr works great

I agree with Pieter, the custom asset editor can import FBX files directly - there is even a batch import function! Let me know if you have any further questions on this topic.
