--- title: "Veras 5, update 2" canonical: "https://documentation.chaos.com/space/Veras/1369276428/Veras%205%2C%20update%202" format: markdown --- *Official release* **Date** - September 24, 2026 ## **New Features** --- ### **Agentic modeling** - New Agent mode on the MODEL tab that builds 3D objects from a rendering, photo, or sketch and a description - The agent models, reviews the result against your images, and corrects mismatches - Produces building elements such as walls, floors, roofs, openings, doors, windows, cameras, and furniture - Supports curved walls, tilted and swept solids, profiles, section roofs, and openings cut through solids - Walls join cleanly with mitred corners and trimmed T-junctions - Choose between GPT-6 Astra (default) and Claude Opus 5.5, with an effort setting that trades speed for thoroughness - Up to 12 source images, which are saved as renderings in your workspace - Assumed elements are marked with "?" and hovering shows the assumption - Messages sent during a run are queued for the next step and can be edited; Stop pauses and Continue resumes - One credit budget per session, with a warning before a session that may exceed it - Furnish the model with Chaos Cosmos assets and apply Chaos Cosmos materials to modeled surfaces ### **Native bake** - One BAKE writes the agent's model into the host application as editable native elements - Revit: walls, floors, and roofs become native elements; doors and windows become families; cameras become perspective 3D views; Cosmos materials become project materials - SketchUp: each element becomes an editable group with textured materials, and each camera becomes a Scene - Rhino: the model bakes as NURBS Breps with mitred wall corners, and each camera becomes a Named View - Progress bar for the whole bake and a STOP button - SketchUp and Rhino files remember the model, and edits you make to baked objects are preserved - BAKE works from any rendering in the scene ### **Scenes** - The agent's model is saved as a Scene, a new Gallery item type that saves automatically - Chat sessions are saved with the scene and can be restored with full history - Load scenes with LOAD SCENE in the Gallery or FROM GALLERY in the pane - Rename scenes, star thumbnails, and reorder, add, or remove renderings - VIEWS, ELEMENTS, and SESSION tabs to browse cameras, elements, and agent activity ### **Material Gen** - The Materials tool on the MODEL tab is now available to all users - Pick surfaces on a rendering and find matching materials in Chaos Cosmos or create them with Chaos Cloud Mat-gen - Bake materials to Revit, Rhino, and SketchUp as named host materials in a single undo step - Generate multiple surfaces at once ### **Walk-through navigation** - First-person navigation in the 3D viewers with W/A/S/D to move, Q/E to descend and ascend, and left-drag to look around - Movement speed scales to the scene size - Keys use physical positions, so AZERTY and QWERTZ layouts work ## **Modified Features** --- - Improved the Move tool speed; press Esc to return the asset to its original position - Added the ability to place, move, and auto-place assets on agent-modeled floors and roofs - Added selection of imported GLBs in Agent mode - Added local caching for Cosmos assets, with the cache size and a clear button in Settings - Changed Revit proxy bakes to display a clean outline without triangle mesh lines - Changed the IMAGE tab to open at 16:9 instead of 1:1 - Changed deleting a rendering to select its neighbor - Added a close button and a lock to reference image tiles - Added compression for long preset share links - Added the ability to install the web app from the browser address bar - Updated the credit cost shown for segmentation with Nano Banana 2 Flash - Improved Cosmos search matches on masked areas ## **Fixes** --- - Ctrl+click doesn't toggle the Gallery selection - Presets with a % character in the prompt don't import correctly - Selections drawn on the 2D canvas aren't always applied before rendering - Material labels clutter images in Cosmos search ## **Known Limitations** --- - Agentic modeling is in beta and is free during the launch promotion up to a per-user credit allowance. Each session is charged 1 credit so it appears in My Chaos. - Native baking requires the Veras 5.2 host plug-in. - Native baking isn't available yet for Vectorworks and Archicad.
