A few questions

  • Obviously, Revit and Sketchup integrations are pretty far apart at the moment, I was wondering if there is a dedicated Sketchup team or are the same people working on Enscape for revit as the ones working with Sketchup?


    How about a separate forum, one for Sketchup and the other for Revit?


    Is there a roadmap of development for the Sketchup integration?


    What are the goals Enscape wants to achieve, is it more towards the VR market or the animation market? I ask this as it would give clarity to many folk who think long term when purchasing a product,?


    Will vegetation proxy's be a future option, or how do you plan to deal with vegetation going forward?


    When will lights and a material editor be available for the Sketchup version?


    I understand you all in Germany, will you have support 24 hours when things get busy?

  • Great questions, thanks.

    Please keep in mind that Enscape for SketchUp is not even released yet, it is not finished yet as of March 2017. We have separated teams and the functionality will become identical after the the next releases.


    How about a separate forum, one for Sketchup and the other for Revit?


    We now separated the forums, I hope you like it.

    Is there a roadmap of development for the Sketchup integration?

    The SketchUp related features have a yellow color flag.

    Our priorities:

    1. Fast and spontaneous walkthroughs for design reviews. The use includes client presentation and internal usage. We aim at a quality level that matches offline rendering.
    2. VR presentations
    3. Deliverables like videos and panoramas

    The fast and high quality rendering itself has the highest priority, but we're putting more and more manpower in the other areas as well.


    Will vegetation proxy's be a future option, or how do you plan to deal with vegetation going forward?

    At the release version, we will also offer to use a material keyword for grass, but afterwards we'll also support certain proxies.


    When will lights and a material editor be available for the Sketchup version?


    It's not always possible to give exact predictions for certain features. But I can tell you that artificial lights have a very high priority right now. A better material solution will follow afterwards.

    We're working hard to offer a solution within 48 hours from sending an email to our support at enscape3d.com.
