New Features

Agentic modelling

  • New Agent mode on the MODEL tab that builds 3D objects from a rendering, photo, or sketch and a description
  • The agent models, reviews the result against your images, and corrects mismatches
  • Produces building elements such as walls, floors, roofs, openings, doors, windows, cameras, and furniture
  • Supports curved walls, tilted and swept solids, profiles, section roofs, and openings cut through solids
  • Walls join cleanly with mitred corners and trimmed T-junctions
  • Choose between GPT-6 Astra (default) and Claude Opus 5.5, with an effort setting that trades speed for thoroughness
  • Up to 12 source images, which are saved as renderings in your workspace
  • Assumed elements are marked with "?" and hovering shows the assumption
  • Messages sent during a run are queued for the next step and can be edited; Stop pauses and Continue resumes
  • One credit budget per session, with a warning before a session that may exceed it
  • Furnish the model with Chaos Cosmos assets and apply Chaos Cosmos materials to modelled surfaces

Native bake

  • One BAKE writes the agent's model into the host application as editable native elements
  • Revit: walls, floors, and roofs become native elements; doors and windows become families; cameras become perspective 3D views; Cosmos materials become project materials
  • SketchUp: each element becomes an editable group with textured materials, and each camera becomes a Scene
  • Rhino: the model bakes as NURBS Breps with mitred wall corners, and each camera becomes a Named View
  • Progress bar for the whole bake and a STOP button
  • SketchUp and Rhino files remember the model, and edits you make to baked objects are preserved
  • BAKE works from any rendering in the scene

Scenes

  • The agent's model is saved as a Scene, a new Gallery item type that saves automatically
  • Chat sessions are saved with the scene and can be restored with full history
  • Load scenes with LOAD SCENE in the Gallery or FROM GALLERY in the pane
  • Rename scenes, star thumbnails, and reorder, add, or remove renderings
  • VIEWS, ELEMENTS, and SESSION tabs to browse cameras, elements, and agent activity

Material Gen

  • The Materials tool on the MODEL tab is now available to all users
  • Pick surfaces on a rendering and find matching materials in Chaos Cosmos or create them with Chaos Cloud Mat-gen
  • Bake materials to Revit, Rhino, and SketchUp as named host materials in a single undo step
  • Generate multiple surfaces at once

Walk-through navigation

  • First-person navigation in the 3D viewers with W/A/S/D to move, Q/E to descend and ascend, and left-drag to look around
  • Movement speed scales to the scene size
  • Keys use physical positions, so AZERTY and QWERTZ layouts work

Modified Features

  • Improved the Move tool speed; press Esc to return the asset to its original position
  • Added the ability to place, move, and auto-place assets on agent-modeled floors and roofs
  • Added selection of imported GLBs in Agent mode
  • Added local caching for Cosmos assets, with the cache size and a clear button in Settings
  • Changed Revit proxy bakes to display a clean outline without triangle mesh lines
  • Changed the IMAGE tab to open at 16:9 instead of 1:1
  • Changed deleting a rendering to select its neighbour
  • Added a close button and a lock to reference image tiles
  • Added compression for long preset share links
  • Added the ability to install the web app from the browser address bar
  • Updated the credit cost shown for segmentation with Nano Banana 2 Flash
  • Improved Cosmos search matches on masked areas

Fixes

  • Ctrl+click doesn't toggle the Gallery selection
  • Presets with a % character in the prompt don't import correctly
  • Selections drawn on the 2D canvas aren't always applied before rendering
  • Material labels clutter images in Cosmos search

Known Limitations

  • Agentic modelling is in beta and is free during the launch promotion up to a per-user credit allowance. Each session is charged 1 credit so it appears in My Chaos.
  • Native baking requires the Veras 5.2 host plug-in.
  • Native baking isn't available yet for Vectorworks and Archicad.
