Live Updates in Revit When making changes to materials, lights, objects, etc. via Revit, these adjustments are instantly recognized and automatically translated into Enscape when  Live Updates  is enabled. This functionality can of course also be deactivated when required. Live Updates  is also available whilst VR mode is activated. This allows making adjustments to a project which, when implemented, allows the user who is wearing the VR headset to see the corresponding changes in real time. Furthermore,  Live Updates  are always  activated by default . To deactivate this feature, please follow the corresponding instructions set out below. Once Enscape has been started in Revit, you can enable / disable the live link between the two softwares by clicking the  Resume Live Updates  /  Pause Live Updates  button: Pause Resume Live Updates button in Revit As long as  Live Updates  is enabled the ability to click and access the  Active Document  menu in the Revit ribbon where you can select a View is maintained. Having Live Updates disabled breaks that link. You will still be able to create views within the Enscape UI, and these are saved to the Revit Active Document list even when the  Live Updates  is paused.

An  Export Geometry  option which speeds up loading when switching between Views is available via the  Enscape Export Geometry  setting.
