Enscape for macOS Enscape for macOS :: Questions and Issues

Dear Forum Community,

We have just released our latest version Enscape for Mac 4.18.0 Preview 2!

Improvements- Improved Asset Brush Placement Speed: Placing assets is now significantly faster and more stable.

  • Consistent Light Clustering: Light management now uses the same clustering algorithm whether you are viewing all lights or only visible lights, providing a more consistent and predictable user experience.
  • Intuitive Asset Scaling: The scaling gizmo is now more intuitive. Scaling along the X and Z axes now correctly corresponds to the direction you move your mouse, regardless of the gizmo’s orientation.
  • Help Panel: The mode-specific tab is now selected automatically when a GUI mode is activated or changed.
  • Grass: Smoother transition between detailed grass and LOD grass, reducing visible cut-offs especially in orthographic views.
  • Scene Export: The enabled/disabled property of lights is now included when exporting .vrscene files.

Fixed Bugs- SketchUp: Fixed an issue where GUI elements would not display correctly when switching between active documents.

  • Light Management: Resolved a bug where lights positioned behind other objects would briefly appear when opening the Light Management window.
  • Asset Library: Fixed an issue where Enscape could freeze if the Asset Library hotkey was pressed repeatedly.
  • Vectorworks: Fixed asset creation being affected by the active working plane of the project in Vectorworks 2026.
  • Archicad: Fixed Archicad 26 being incorrectly listed as a supported version in the Enscape preview.
  • Ray Tracing: Fixed ray-traced artificial lighting not working properly with clearcoat materials when using ReSTIR.
  • Chaos Cloud: Fixed Chaos Cloud upload to correctly handle scenes with textures that contain Unicode characters (e.g., Chinese).

Known Issues- Vectorworks: Self-referencing design layers are not rendering assets.

  • Light Management - Archicad: In Archicad, changing a light name will not update it in the Light Management window. On restart of Enscape, the new name will be shown.
