Introducing Chaos Suites: Toolkits for Faster, Better & Smarter Architectural Design

Chaos suites are industry-specific software packages designed for architectural design professionals (as well as archviz and media & entertainment professionals). Thoughtfully curated to provide the essential tools to support and enhance your architectural design workflow, they offer easy-to-manage and cost-effective solutions.

 

The perfect fit for every project

The suites contain a combination of tools from Chaos' comprehensive portfolio for your workflow. The following three were designed with architects in mind, offering the right fit for any project.

Enscape Solo: your real-time design companion

Suitable for individual architects, Enscape Solo is your go-to design companion for real-time visualization. This suite includes Enscape, the industry-leading real-time visualization and VR plugin that integrates directly into popular CAD and BIM tools: Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, Archicad, and Vectorworks.

Fast and easy to use

Built for simplicity, Enscape's user-friendly interface ensures a minimal learning curve, making it ideal for daily use. Launch a fully rendered walkthrough instantly from your modeling software with no setup or export needed.

Bi-directional data flow

Enscape keeps your design and visualization in perfect sync. Changes made in your CAD or BIM tool are instantly reflected in Enscape—no manual refresh is needed—enabling faster iteration and decision-making.

AI image enhancement

Use the Chaos AI Enhancer, included in Enscape, to refine your renderings with minimal effort. Upscale people and vegetation assets with lifelike detail to ​deliver emotionally resonant visuals for clients.

Captivating presentations

Create immersive presentations, including VR experiences and interactive walkthroughs, to communicate your design intent effectively. Enjoy quick sharing options with videos, panoramas, and QR codes for effortless feedback exchange.

Enscape Premium: your AI-powered design companion toolkit

If you're looking to supercharge your design process to free up time to focus on creativity, then this is the suite for you. Enscape Premium integrates Enscape with Veras, an AI-powered visualization tool.

Ideal for individual architects and teams, this solution allows you to generate multiple design variations quickly, facilitate rapid design exploration, and improve the overall visualization workflow.

AI-powered ideation 

From concept variations to stylistic studies, explore more creative directions in less time during early-stage design. Use Veras directly inside your CAD/BIM software to test different styles and find the perfect aesthetic quickly.

Smarter, faster design iteration

Enjoy an accelerated workflow by combining real-time rendering with intelligent visual enhancements, like textures and composition (Veras), or people and vegetation (Chaos AI Enhancer). Respond to client feedback, validate ideas, and make better design decisions without missing a beat.

Presentation-ready with less effort

Deliver polished, high-impact visuals without the need for post-production or extra tools. The products in this suite enhance quality automatically, so your work looks better faster.

ArchDesign Collection: your complete immersive design toolkit

The ArchDesign Collection is the ultimate design and visualization toolkit for individual architects and teams. It includes everything in Enscape Premium, as well as Enscape Impact and Envision.

Enscape Impact is a building performance add-on that provides fast energy modeling simulation for the early stages of design. By integrating it into your design workflow, you can analyze your building’s energy efficiency and make eco-conscious choices from the start.

Envision is a real-time storytelling tool that turns your 3D models into immersive, cinematic experiences. It handles detail-heavy scenes effortlessly, assembles complex projects, supports dynamic animation and lifelike characters, and gives you stunning realism on the fly. Its beta version was available to users in December 2024, and now, the newly released software is part of the ArchDesign Collection.

From AI-powered design exploration to cinematic showcases and performance insights, the ArchDesign Collection is your complete suite of products that will glide you from ideation to presentation.

Complete design-to-delivery workflow

Work with streamlined integration and interoperability, from concept to final presentation, every stage is covered with Veras, Enscape, Envision, the Chaos AI Enhancer, and Enscape Impact. 

Smarter decisions from the start

Leverage early-stage building performance insights with Enscape Impact and AI ideation with Veras to create sustainable client-ready designs faster.

Immersive storytelling

Showcase cinematic, real-time animations with Envision. Boost visual excellence and enhance visual narratives to deliver stunning presentations that win projects.

Important information for existing Enscape users

Enscape Fixed-Seat and Enscape Floating offerings will no longer be available for new subscription purchases. We’re retiring the fixed-to-one-computer license type and replacing it with named user licensing, which will give you flexibility to access the software from any device. 

If you have an active subscription to an offering we are no longer selling, it will be automatically migrated to the suite listed below at renewal, unless you choose a different plan beforehand.

  • Enscape Fixed-Seat License (fixed, annual) will default to Enscape Premium (named, annual)
  • Enscape Floating License (floating, annual) will default to the ArchDesign Collection (floating, annual)
  • Enscape Fixed-Seat License (fixed, monthly) will default to Enscape Solo (named, annual)

Customers with an Enscape Fixed-Seat License (fixed, annual) who have also purchased the Enscape Impact add-on will be migrated to the ArchDesign Collection (named, annual), as this suite already includes Enscape Impact. The separate Enscape Impact add-on license will be canceled on your behalf, as it will no longer be needed.

For more information on licensing, visit the FAQ page.

Deliver better projects, faster and cheaper

Chaos tools are built to work together, ensuring a smooth workflow at every stage of your project. And now, with the Chaos suites, you gain even more value with a cost-effective way of acquiring all the products you need and a simplified experience with a single, trusted partner.

Whether it's Enscape Solo, Enscape Premium, or the ArchDesign Collection, you and your team will be equipped with flexible, scalable solutions to deliver faster designs, smarter sales, and better builds.
