I have purchased (2) of these laptops. One for home and one for my office. I can verify that they do indeed run Enscape very well.

Hey bhaslow , thanks a lot for your inquiry. This will actually be implemented in of our upcoming versions of Enscape soon, maybe even with our next preview or next release 2.5, but I cannot make any promises just yet.

That's great.

I'd like to have the ability to have the rendering window's aspect ratio be locked to the aspect ratio of the Resolution set in the Capture tab. This could be a check box on Capture tab. This would help in framing out the view in the rendering window so that the captured "rendered view" would match the extents of what you see in the live rendering window.

I'd like to suggest adding the ability to assign a hotkey in Revit to toggle Pause/ Resume Live Updates. I can assign one to Start Enscape and many other commands just not to pause/ resume live updates.

We would like to suggest a slider to control the transparency of RPC objects by category (i.e. automobiles, people, trees). Also, some dropdown boxes to replace RPC materials with solid white or solid black materials. Ideally the transparency slider would effect the white, or black materials as well.

This would basically be the ability to do "ghost" people and trees. It would be such a huge help. I know to some it is a dated look but we still have clients/ principals that ask for it.

In project would be just as good though we have a few stylized settings that we like to use on multiple projects.

The grass feature is so good it almost feels like magic. Some additional ground cover options like ivy, or similar lower ground cover planting would send this feature over the top. Another one would be a "flowerpot" material that would host randomized flower models.

With the floating license we use Enscape allot between multiple users and then ultimately in a conference room. We often tweak the settings file to get the look that we want but then need to constantly copy the .xml files back and fourth between the various machines. Having the ability to add a networked pathway would be ideal so that the settings could more easily be updated across multiple machines.

I'd like the ability to toggle whether Enscape replaces RPC content based on category. Right now it replaces people and trees and does not replace automobiles. I think separate boxes for people and trees would be helpful. The Enscape replacements for people seem pretty thin (for now).

Thank you. Sounds good.

Loading Screen

Select a file (png, jpg, tga) to be used as a background in the Enscape loading screen, see example.

The recommended resolution is connected to your current screen resolution and aspect ratio.

If you have a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, we’ll recommend the same resolution for the used file.

Are there any size, file type, or image proportion guidelines for the Loading Screen image? What is the image size of the default Enscape loading screen?

Has anyone had success using Enscape on a Microsoft Surface Pro. We have a few Surface Pro 4's in the office with Core i7 chips that a few managers use. They have had no issues running and viewing some pretty complex Revit models. However, every time we launch Enscape out of Revit we get a fatal error and Revit crashes. We also get error messages when trying to launch any exported standalone .exe files from Enscape. These files have been as small as 45MB and still will not launch. It doesn't feel like a horsepower problem to me. Any suggestions?
