Material Studies in Enscape

Ability to iterate and save multiple material iterations / options within Enscape. Materials do not automatically revert back to the design tool. Multiple material options may be saved and explored.

This is for the purpose of lightweight material discussion / exploration / discovery during design in Enscape which is not practicable in the design application. Geometric changes in the design application maintain material iterations / options in Enscape.

For example: If the kitchen casework in the design application changes, the materials options assigned to the casework remains attached.

Another example: If the material to a pendant lamp changes, and the number of pendent lamps increases from 3 to 4 lamps, the material iterations are automatically applied to the new lamp.

Material studies initiate in multiple methods:

1. The new material study view already contains the materials from the design application

2. The new material study view started in a neutral "white" mode to which new materials are added to selected objects.

3. Existing material study views may be duplicated from existing material study views and further iterated and modified

Materials study views of the same design file may be kept private or shared with other Enscape users working on the same project.
