Hi Everyone,
On Revit, we usually have linked Revit files on which we work on (say MEP model on a linked Arch model)
I am wondering if it is possible to toggle the transparency of the linked Model(Arch one) on Enscape so that we can see the concealed services in walls, floors etc.
I changed the visual display on Revit to "wireframe" hoping Enscape would render it like that but in vain.
Many thanks to advise on the above.

Display MoreWe just released the new Enscape version 2.8!
Have a look at the blog post showing off the new features and additions.
There are several options to upgrade:
- Follow the link in your trial registration email
- Click the update link in the in-program notification
- Open the "About" window and click the Download Area link
For detailed questions and issues, feel free to write us at support@enscape3d.com or use this thread.

Changes in Version 2.8
New Features:
- Collaboration Annotations with BIM Track integration (More info)
- New Material options and Assets (More info)
- Configurable animation for Grass, Vegetation, and Clouds via new Global Wind Settings
- New Carpet Material
- Support for configuration of Normal Maps intensity
- View Management for ArchiCAD, included for Batch Rendering and in Standalone Executable files (More info)
- Localization for French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese (Brazil) languages
Improvements:
Rendering
- Indirect lighting of semi-transparent materials to consider occlusion of nearby opaque geometry
- Temporal up-sampling in order to produce high-resolution renderings from low-resolution images. (General Settings -> Performance -> Auto Up-sampling) resulting in more stable behavior on GPU’s that may have been previously running out of available memory.
- Reduced GPU memory consumption of HDRi Skyboxes
- Healthcare and animated Vegetation Assets added to Asset Library
Features
- BIM Mode improvements including:
- Possible to now highlight groups of items
- Search bar added to improve locating of BIM items
- Access and display BIM data via right clicking on object in Enscape window
- Separated the options for single and batch image rendering in the Enscape Toolbar / Menu
Changelog:
- Support for the following CAD’s is discontinued
- Any Revit version older than version 2018
- Any SketchUp version older than 2018
- Rhino 5
NOTE: Customers will still be able to install Enscape for these older CAD versions. But, we are no longer testing or optimizing Enscape for those CAD versions.
Known Issues:
- BIM Track integration:
- Orthographic camera views are not supported yet (Issue position and all meta data is still available)
- Custom attributes are not supported yet
- Positional issues leading to misplaced issues markers for some specific projects
- ArchiCAD Manage Views:
- Changing the project or closing all 3D views leads to an issue in the scene selection. In this state, geometry changes are no longer being transferred to the Enscape window. This issue can be worked around by restarting Enscape.
- Opening Web Standalone files in Chrome (version 83.0.4103.116):
- When opening a Web-Standalone using Chrome (version 83.0.4103.116 only), clicking into the Web Standalone splash screen prevents rotating and orbiting once the project has loaded into the browser. This behavior persists until Chrome has been restarted.

Hi Pete,
This is wonderful. I have tried the new update and it is fantastic. Love the integration with BIMTrack.
One question though. Is there a way that I can create/ manage issues from a VR headset directly.
I currently showcase projects using an HTC vive pro and I am wondering if the collaboration feature exists in VR.
Thanks and continue the amazing job!!
Display MoreHi Neelesh - you'll want to focus on three key areas in Revit. Lighting, Materials and Graphics / Images. Also - don't complicate your camera movement. This isn't the latest Transformers film. Slow and steady wins the visual race.

Dear Phil,
Can I get your advice on this.
I know that Revit can be quite limiting in terms of material assignment etc.. unlike Sketchup which has more advanced features to achieve same.
We have been using Enscape with Revit since it provides a smoother workflow to move from BIM models to VR models. However, the downside of using Revit is that we still have issues to increase realism in our models.
According to you, if we want to achieve better visualizations, is it worth it that we consider Sketchup while considering that this might complicate our project workflows( i.e. BIM Models->SketchUp->Enscape)
Best Regards,
Neelesh
Thank you Phil!! :thumbsup:
I will look into the links.
Hi Demian,
Thanks for accepting this thread. Do you have any views on this?
Hello Awesome people,
I just started using Enscape and I find it amazing!!!
One thing is when I render 4K videos from a BIM model(in Revit 2019) I fail to acquire the same results as some of you guys achieve in terms of realism.
Grateful it would be if you could provide your experience and advise so that I can improve my model.
P.S. please find the link to my rendered video here:
