Dear Forum Community,

We just released our latest version Enscape for Mac 4.18.0

Improvements- New Interface Design: Enscape’s interface has been updated with a cleaner, more modern design, improving visual consistency while keeping your workflow familiar and intuitive.

  • Chaos Notification Center: Stay informed directly within Enscape with in-app notifications for tips, feature updates, and important messages, now accessible through a dedicated notification inbox.
  • Complex Scene Support: Improved scalability by removing the 2GB scene size limitation, allowing Enscape to handle larger and more complex projects without serialization-related crashes.
  • 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.
  • Security Update: Updated log4net due to vulnerability issue in 3.2.0.

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.
  • Asset Library: Fixed CAD focus issue when placing assets.
  • Material Editor: Fixed Material Editor not always updating Height Map Type when changing materials
  • Material Editor: Fix Material Editor UI is stuck when the current material cannot be saved.
  • Material Editor: Fixed Material Editor exporting materials with .matpkg.matpkg file extension.
  • Custom Asset Library: Fix custom asset gets corrupted when save fails due to file access permissions.
  • Renderer: Fixed Enscape window going blank after restoring state in certain conditions.
  • 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.
  • Veras: Fixed Veras File Save Dialog omitting file extension in certain conditions
