Enscape Support for Revit 2023 Released Today!

A quick post letting everyone know that Enscape released support for Revit 2023 today!

You can find the download here: https://enscape3d.com/download/




Only two weeks since Revit 2023 was officially released. Although I doubt many firms are using Revit 2023 just yet, having all the essential add-ins is certainly part of the go/no-go discussion!

As it happens, Lake|Flato is already officially using Revit 2023 for one new feature we need... on "copies" of a couple of projects, we are taking advantage of the improvements made to the Energy Analysis Model (EAM) creation!
