When making changes to materials, lights, objects, etc. via Revit, these adjustments are instantly recognized and automatically translated into Enscape when Live Updates is enabled. This functionality can of course also be deactivated when required.

Live Updates is also available whilst VR mode is activated. This allows making adjustments to a project which, when implemented, allows the user who is wearing the VR headset to see the corresponding changes in real time. Furthermore, Live Updates are always activated by default. To deactivate this feature, please follow the corresponding instructions set out below.

Once Enscape has been started in Revit, you can enable / disable the live link between the two softwares by clicking the Resume Live Updates / Pause Live Updates button:

As long as Live Updates is enabled the ability to click and access the Active Document menu in the Revit ribbon where you can select a View is maintained. Having Live Updates disabled breaks that link.

You will still be able to create views within the Enscape UI, and these are saved to the Revit Active Document list even when the Live Updates is paused.

Synchronize Views allows synchronizing the view between Revit and Enscape. Any perspective/movement changes which are executed in Revit will immediately be translated into Enscape.

This functionality also allows navigation via Revit only, without having to make use of Enscape’s controls.

To synchronize the view of Revit with Enscape, simply click the following Synchronize Views button:

Click the Synchronize Views button again to pause the synchronization.

Notice that the button’s background is highlighted with blue when enabled.
