If you’ve ever wanted to navigate through your Revit model using your fancy new VR headset, that is now possible using Enscape + Revit.Īs of today, it looks like most of the major VR headsets are compatible with the Enscape + Revit workflow: With that being said, Enscape supports modeling software other than Revit such as: With Enscape and Revit, those changes are reflected instantly.ĭesigners may have several modeling applications in their toolbox and interoperability is one of the most important factors when introducing a new tool to their workflows.

Just imagine how much work would go into exporting and importing your Revit model to a game engine every time you made a change to your Revit model. With this feature, any revisions to a design in Revit can be instantly transferred to your Enscape rendering or VR environment which obviously increases efficiency when working with VR as a presentation medium. When using Enscape and Revit, one feature that is rather impressive is the ability for real-time rendering and virtual reality. Enscape and Revit actually work together using Enscape’s Revit addin to eliminate some of that manual labor. Working with a game engine from the ground up can involve more complex processes such as exporting from Revit, importing to the chosen game engine, and writing scripts for photorealistic renderings or VR. One of which is Enscape, who seeks to create a seamless workflow between Enscape and Revit.

In the AEC space, a slew of software companies have popped up to make it easier for the layman to bring their BIM models into virtual reality.

One of which is a bit like building your own “game” using a gaming engine such as Unity, however this route which requires software development experience. There are many ways to bring your Revit model into a VR environment. Virtual reality is a hot topic in the AEC space today.
