This page provides information on how to start and manage live updates in Enscape for Archicad.
Live Updates in ArchiCAD
When making changes to materials, lights, objects, etc., via Archicad, these adjustments are instantly recognized and automatically translated into Enscape when Live Updates is enabled.
The Live Updates function is also available whilst VR mode is activated. This allows making adjustments to a project. When implemented, Live Updates 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 instructions:
The Live Updates button in Archicad can be found either in the Toolbar, a custom palette, or the Enscape menu option.
Notice when enabled, the button’s background is highlighted in a light blue color.
With Archicad, it is possible to disable exporting geometry when switching between Views and can reduce loading times.
