--- title: "Veras 5, update 1" canonical: "https://documentation.chaos.com/space/Veras/1369309192/Veras%205%2C%20update%201" format: markdown --- *Official release* **Date** - September 10, 2026 ## **New Features** --- ### **Proxy bake** - Write a small, untextured placeholder into the host model instead of the full mesh, so Enscape renders the full asset in its place - Revit: new Proxy option in the Bake format dropdown, now the default; OBJ and DXF remain available - SketchUp and Rhino: new Bake geometry dropdown with Proxy (default) and Full geometry options - Cosmos assets bake as the Cosmos proxy outline, and generated meshes bake as a simplified silhouette - The Veras 3D view always shows the full model - Re-baking with Full geometry replaces the proxy with the full mesh - After a model refresh, Veras recognizes its proxies, relinks them to their source renderings, and reloads the full mesh into the 3D view ### **Place from gallery** - New asset source for placing an existing 3D model from the Gallery, alongside Generate and Search Cosmos library - Placing from the gallery is free and doesn't use a queue slot - Picker with search by name, category, and engine, and Load more to page through the full 3D model history - Every asset has a name and category on every host ### **Microsoft TRELLIS 2.0** - Microsoft TRELLIS 2.0 is added to the 3D GEN engine list, with sharper geometry and full PBR materials - TRELLIS 2.0 uses the existing 3D GEN agreement - Rate limit dialog with a countdown, usage details, and a Generate button that retries all refused objects as one batch ### **GPT Image models by OpenAI** - New GPT Image 2.5 engine with Fast, High (default), Extra High, and Max quality options at 1K or 2K - GPT Image 2 is now available ### **Grok Imagine 2.0 by xAI** - Grok Imagine 2 is now available - Reference images on both Grok Imagine engines: up to four on Grok Imagine 1 Fast and Grok Imagine 2, and up to two on the Grok Imagine 1 Quality tiers ## **Modified Features** --- - Renamed Trellis to Microsoft TRELLIS 1.0 and Hunyuan 3D 3.1 to Tencent HY 3D 3.1 - Improved 3D view performance when hovering over heavy assets - Replaced the hide-geometry optimization with an interaction level-of-detail engine that runs only on heavy models while the camera moves - Changed asset placement to use the surface under the cursor - Changed imported GLBs to use the size stored in the file and to be fully editable - Moved transform controls onto the 3D canvas - Changed bake time to scale with asset size, so large assets succeed and failures are reported sooner - Changed the busy indicator to a progress ring outside the thumbnail - Added a blue ring to the thumbnail of a selected object - Changed renaming an object during generation to update the rendering's pill immediately - Added sharing for 3D models, with their own icon and label in share dialogs - Changed sketch visibility to be remembered per rendering - Changed the update prompt to check the installed plug-in version for each host application - Added a message when the graphics driver drops the 3D context instead of showing a blank canvas ## **Fixes** --- - Orbit and scroll-wheel zoom pop when switching - The viewer freezes after scrolling during a drag or after releasing the mouse outside the canvas - Renders started during camera movement capture missing geometry - Middle-click pan and touch drag don't end correctly - Assets are placed on a roof when dragging across multi-level floors - Large assets report a false timeout during baking, which causes duplicate copies on retry - Cosmos search progress bar overlaps the bottom edge of the search field ## **Known Limitations** --- - Baking into the host model is supported only in Revit, Rhino, and SketchUp. Vectorworks and Archicad support isn't available yet. - Proxy bake requires the Veras 5.1 plug-in for the host application. - Design Lock is available only with the Nano Banana engines.
