The latest updates in Enscape 4.13
Thermal comfort analysis in Enscape Impact
You can now see how comfortable designs feel for occupants in the early concept stage. Enscape Impact visualizes thermal comfort conditions directly in the model, helping you make informed decisions, create sustainable spaces, and avoid costly changes without complex analysis tools.
This feature is built for architects, not data scientists, and makes thermal analysis visual, interactive, and intuitive.

Exportable performance reports in Enscape Impact
Export performance reports directly from Enscape Impact. This new feature makes it easy to share findings with clients or team members, compare design options, and keep a clear record of sustainability decisions without manually copying data.
Reintroduced: Save as external model for Enscape (SketchUp)
SketchUp users can once again save components as lightweight external models. These appear as simple placeholders in SketchUp but show up in full detail in Enscape, helping keep large projects fast and organized while still rendering at high quality.
Smarter Enscape to Envision interoperability
This update lets you enjoy smoother transitions from Enscape to Envision, as exported scenes retain Cosmos asset references and persistent material IDs. Assets are automatically recognized, and materials stay consistent, so you can move from real-time design to high-end visuals faster, with fewer manual steps.
AI upscaling for visual precision
The Chaos AI Upscaler gives you higher-resolution visuals without longer render times. You can enhance render outputs to be two or four times faster in a single click, right from Chaos Cloud. It sharpens textures and increases resolution instantly, making it perfect for polished client presentations or marketing visuals without re-rendering your scene.
