Enscape for Mac 4.20.0 Released

Enscape Enscape for macOS Questions and Issues
1

Dear Forum Community,

We’ve just released our latest version Enscape 4.20.0!

Improvements

  • Composition Gridlines: A grid overlay can now be enabled for the whole viewport instead of only inside the Video Editor, and the option stays reachable while the renderer toolbar is collapsed.

    1920×1152 425 KB

  • Renderer Reset: General Settings now offers a reset of the renderer state, clearing the shader and pipeline caches and the stored configuration, to recover from graphics driver problems without reinstalling.

    1314×952 77.7 KB

  • Export File Replacement: When a file of the same name already exists in the destination folder, you can now choose to replace it instead of Enscape adding an index to the file name.

  • Color Management: Rendered images now embed a standard sRGB color profile, so colors stay consistent in post-processing without setting the profile by hand.

  • Light Management: Teleporting to a light in orthographic mode is now a smooth movement instead of an instant snap, matching how it already worked in perspective mode.

  • Archicad: Archicad 29 menus now follow dark mode.

Fixed Bugs

  • SketchUp: Fixed some materials appearing washed out or transparent after updating to Enscape 4.19.

  • Asset Library: Fixed a crash when opening the Asset Library while the Chaos Cosmos service is stopped, so Enscape now explains the problem and picks the service up once it starts.

  • Asset Library: Fixed the Asset Library staying empty on machines where local calls go through a proxy server.

  • Rendering: Fixed rendering a single image ignoring the Synchronize Views setting, so the rendered image no longer differs from the CAD view.

  • BIM Information: Fixed the BIM Information panel staying blank instead of reporting that no BIM information is available.

  • Chaos Assistant: Fixed several unsaved-changes dialogs appearing when dragging assets from the Chaos Assistant.

  • Materials: Fixed Enscape becoming unresponsive after quick successive material changes.

  • Export: Fixed a custom export path being lost after closing the Export window.

  • Artificial Lighting: Fixed stability and correctness issues in artificial lighting.

  • Sky: Fixed sky rendering artifacts appearing when subsampling is active.

  • Stability: Fixed crashes that could happen when an exception handler failed while it was handling an earlier error.

  • Ray Tracing: Fixed shadows not always updating correctly for animated content.

Known Issues

  • Navigation: Movement along the Y axis with the W and S keys is not registered in orthographic view.

  • Performance: Model geometry data can be reallocated repeatedly in some scenes, which can slow down rendering.

  • Chaos Notification Center: Enscape requests system permissions that the Notification Center does not need.
