This page provides information about the system requirements of Enscape for Revit.
Windows
Enscape uses ray tracing for its real-time rendering, and almost all the calculations that Enscape performs are being handled on the graphics card (GPU). For this reason, your computer must at least meet the minimum recommended system requirements set out below.
Furthermore, although not a requirement, we do recommend that you use Enscape with dual monitors, as Enscape is optimized to work on a dual monitor setup.
Required CAD/BIM Software
The Enscape for Windows plug-in is provided for the following host applications:
- Revit 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026
- SketchUp 2024, 2025 and 2026
- Rhino 7.0 and 8.3 (or later)
- Archicad 27, 28 and 29
- Vectorworks 2024, 2025 and 2026
Enscape is not provided as a plugin for Revit LT because Revit only allows the addition of third-party plugins in the the full version of the software. This is a limitation set by Autodesk.
On Windows, the Enscape plugin will be installed for all of the above listed host applications by default unless otherwise specified by the user during the installation process. This means you do not require a dedicated installer specific to each individual host application, and you can specify which CAD or CAD’s you want to install Enscape for during the installation procedure.
We recommend updating your CAD application listed above to the latest software release/update version available from the manufacturer to have all fixes and improvements available.
System Requirements
Enscape performs its renders using your graphics card (GPU), but the GPU has to have dedicated VRAM, and not shared VRAM as found with Intel Integrated Graphics chips. If your systems CPU and RAM are capable of handling Revit, for instance, and you have a capable GPU, Enscape should work. A good CPU can speed up Enscape’s loading times. The system requirements to run Enscape, as well as the Standalone Executable files that can be exported from Enscape, are identical.
It is also recommended that your internet connection is fast and stable, and that you should use a direct cable connection and avoid using a Wi-fi connection where possible, as this can slow down the Asset Library loading times.

Operating System | Windows 10 or higher | Windows 10 or higher | Windows 10 or higher |
Graphics Card | Intel Arc A310, NVIDIA or AMD dedicated GPU with 4GB VRAM that supports Vulkan 1.1 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10 series / Quadro P series and newer AMD Radeon RX 5000 series / equivalent Radeon Pro series and newer The latest available drivers, or at least our recommended drivers | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti or AMD RX 6800 The latest available drivers, or at least our recommended drivers | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti or AMD RX7900 XT The latest available drivers, or at least our recommended drivers |
VRAM | 4GB VRAM | 8GB VRAM | 12GB VRAM |
VR Headsets | Meta Quest 3 HTC Vive Pro 2 Refer to the hardware requirements in our Virtual Reality Headset guide | ||
Additional Software Requirements | The Enscape installer will check for the presence of additional software required to run Enscape. If that software is not present the installer will prompt you to download and install whatever is missing from your system. For deploying Enscape via Command Line, here’s a list of that required software: | ||
Machines Without Dedicated GPUs |

Unsupported Hardware | Radeon 6000 mobile GPU’s SLI Note: you may still experience a performance boost by using SLI AFR mode, which is a setting that can be selected in your NVIDIA driver properties. In cases where you have multiple GPU’s, Enscape will only utilize one of those GPU’s. Only docking stations that support accelerated graphics will work with Enscape. | ||
