Variation Tab

This page provides information about the Variation tab in Enscape Envision.

Overview

Enscape Envision lets you create and manage as many variations of your current project as you need. You can use these variations to explore design options or even animate between them.

There are two types of variations that you can create:

• Scene – Refers to the objects in your project. Across these variations, you can change the position, scale, rotation, or visibility of selected objects.
• Environment – Refers to the environment lighting of the project. Across these variations, you can modify all environment lighting parameters found in the Environment tab, and achieve different lighting scenarios.

In the Variations tab, you can create scene variations.

Within the Envision timeline, the scene variations have their own track, allowing you to creatively combine and transition between them. The Timeline preview can be toggled on and off via the Toggle timeline preview mode () button to display either the scene state in the current playhead time, or the selected variations in the Variations tab. See the Animation page for more details.

Selecting a variation from the variations list updates the viewport immediately in real time. Alternatively, you can switch between variations from the current view quick settings.
