For the past few Veras releases, we've been working towards one simple idea: what if the things you create with AI could become part of your model, instead of stopping at an image?
Veras 5.0 took the first big step. You could turn an AI-generated image into real assets in your Revit, SketchUp, or Rhino model — at the right scale and in the right place.
Now, with Veras 5.2, we're taking that idea much further.
Instead of creating just assets from an image, Veras now enables you to build the whole scene. And when it's done, you can bring the result directly into Revit, Rhino, or SketchUp as native, editable geometry.
So the journey is moving from seeing an idea, to making it, to actually working with it.

From images to a native 3D model - powered by Astra and Opus 5
The new Agent mode in Veras lets you turn your references into a 3D model. Choose between GPT-6 Astra, the default agent, and Claude Opus 5.5, and adjust the effort level depending on how thoroughly you want the agent to work through the task.
Give Veras a rendering, photograph, sketch, or several references at once — up to 12 images, including your host view and snapshots from the 3D viewer. Combining different views gives the agent more information about the building or space.
The agent then works through the model step by step, creating real building elements such as walls, floors, roofs, openings, doors, windows, cameras, and furniture. It can also handle more complex forms, including curved walls, tilted and swept solids, profiles, section roofs, and openings cut through solids.
It doesn't just generate the model and stop. It checks its work as it goes, comparing the model against your reference images and correcting what doesn't match.
When something can't be determined from the references, Veras flags the assumption directly in the model with a ? marker, so you can see where the agent has had to make a decision.
The result isn't a mesh or a single generated object. It's a structured model made from editable building elements that you can continue working with.
Bring the model to Revit, Rhino, and SketchUp
Once the model is ready, the BAKE function writes it directly into your host application as native, editable geometry.
There is no export-and-convert step in between. The model goes directly into the application where you can continue working on it.
In Revit, walls, floors, roofs, doors and windows become native elements. In SketchUp, elements remain editable groups, while Rhino receives editable NURBS geometry.
Native baking is currently supported in Revit, Rhino, and SketchUp.
Real content from Chaos Cosmos
The selected agent can also use Chaos Cosmos while building the model, adding real Cosmos assets for furniture and other elements instead of creating everything from scratch.
It can also search Cosmos for materials for the surfaces it creates, such as brick or oak flooring. These materials can then be baked into your host model.
Try Astra: create around 4 models for free
To celebrate the launch of Astra-powered model creation in Veras, we're giving you the opportunity to test the new Agent workflow by creating around 4 models for free with GPT-6 Astra.
Behind the scenes, this offer is powered by 2,000 free credits for model generation, based on average usage of around 500 credits per model. Actual usage may vary depending on the complexity of each model.
The offer runs throughout October.
What else is new?
Veras also builds on the 3D workflow introduced in recent releases, with improvements that make creating, reusing, and working with models faster and easier.
- Material Generator - Find matching materials in Chaos Cosmos or generate new ones with Chaos Cloud Material Gen, then apply them to surfaces and bake them back into Revit, Rhino, or SketchUp.
- Proxy Bake - Keep your host model lightweight by baking a small proxy while Veras and Enscape retain the full asset for visualization.
- Place from Gallery — Reuse 3D assets you've already created instead of generating them again. Find them by name, category, or engine and place them at the right size and orientation.
- New image and video models — GPT Image 2.5, GPT Image 2, and Grok Imagine 2 are now available, with new reference-image and quality options.
- Walk-through 3D view — Explore your models from a first-person perspective using familiar keyboard controls.
- And more — See all the improvements in the full Veras 5.2 here.
