Standalone Viewer

.exe files have a hard limit of 2GB set by Windows (according to your help dept, I didn't look further into this). Most of my models get beyond that before a project is finished. I wonder if it would be possible to create a .bin file or some standard format for the data of an enscape session that could be interpreted by a runtime environment, so for instance there is an "enscape viewer app" that could be a standalone app on either windows or OSX, that app could then be used to open standalone enscape files, so a person (consultant, client, etc) would install enscape viewer on their machine, then be able to open any session exported from enscape. The limitations would be entirely hardware dependent, the app could even just give a warning, something like "the hardware on this computer will only allow draft version, to see in full resolution please install on a computer with [link to suggested minimum and ideal requirements]"


If something like this isn't possible, perhaps a subscription service to high quality web based viewer. Something like a traditional render farm that will host enscape sessions and stream video back to client browser.

Enscape PC and MAC cross compatibility. It would be useful to output files such as EXEs for clients own local machines if they use the opposite machine type.

It would be fine if Enscape would also support Allplan. The other option would be to offer Enscape as a stand alone product so that you could read Sketchup files, for example.

I would like to have a standalone Enscape viewer app. Enscape .exe files regularly get flagged by windows and are deleted from hard drives/dropbox by the viewing machine. Not to mention even teams that work on enscape for mac can't use standalone ...

Phase out .exe files in favor for a viewer that is platform agnostic and enscape viewer files. Exe files are regularly flagged as having a virus and deleted by windows, and keeps it from being possible to share. The web viewer is a total waste of ...

This would be very nice for presenting design options, so that multiple heavy programs don't need to be running simultaneously.

Now i am sending my projects as skp.-file to the customers so they can check everything in the free skp-viewer. It would be very nice if they could do it also with a rendered version 😉

Could use assets from different software without the need to create a custom asset or convert it to the main software.

Enscape is primarily a design review tool for us and many. This feature would provide a MUCH used capability

Not terribly important, but it might be helpful for model prep? I’m not really sure what these cases here.

interoperability is crucial for the future! If enscape would make it possible to import many formats, that would be a game changer. I very much like the idea. An important aspect is also about being able to access the data and visualise it.

Working with both Revit, Rhino, and occasionally Sketchup it would be incredibly beneficial to be able to create a model, add materials, and then export it as a standalone object / scene. Then merge multiple objects or scenes together to create a ...

This would be great, because in theory we'd be able to have a weaker PC run the program, one of our problems at our firm is that our conference room computer's aren't the best, so being able to open enscape like this would be a huge help!

Would be really helpful and would make Enscape grow more also as a tool for coordination, not just for visualization.
