This page provides information about the Live Link feature in Enscape for Vetorworks.

> ❌ The Live Link feature is in Beta and is available for Enscape 4.18 and later, as well as Envision 1.4 and later.


## **Overview**

---

The Live Link feature provides a direct connection between Enscape and Envision, improving on the existing *.vrscene* export and import workflow. Live Link transfers Enscape projects from Vetorworks to Envision in a single step. Projects that begin in Enscape for rapid design visualization continue in Envision for higher realism, animated assets, or cinematic output.

Changes made in the Vetorworks layer beneath existing Envision work automatically, without overwriting it. Materials, lighting, entourage, and other modifications applied in Envision sit on top of these base layers and persist when the project is saved, closed, and reopened.

Live Link is initiated through a dedicated button in Enscape or Vetorworks. Envision accepts the first incoming Live Link connection and loads the project. Only one active connection is supported – any new connection interrupts and replaces the previous one.

> ⚠️ The **Live Link Provider** in Envision must be set to **Enscape Live Link**, which is the default option. * For more information, see the **[Set the Live Link Provider in Envision section](#Set-the-Live-Link-Provider-in-Envision)** below. *


## **Live Link Setups**

---

Live Link can be initiated from either the Enscape or Vetorworks interface.
