Chaos has continued its bid to extend its Enscape from design and visualization to across the entire design workflow, spanning initial idea to the final site walk. Its latest move in this direction comes as a result its acquisition of Vyssuals, a real-time data visualization platform for Revit and Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). So what had started as the fastest way to show a design, has grown into a broader workflow for understanding, testing, documenting, and communicating it, with Enscape providing the visual layer and Vyssuals the data layer.

Vyssuals turns information that already exists inside a building model—parameters, schedules, quantities, etc.—into interactive, live dashboards that project teams can understand and act on without exporting or rebuilding the data elsewhere. This adds an important new component to Enscape, says Chaos, as it continues to evolve into a broader design companion, spanning ideation, analysis, documentation, client review, and now live BIM data.

Vyssuals connects directly to Revit and IFC models, and stays in sync as they change. It can compare model versions, check model health, and flag missing BIM parameters before they turn into costly coordination issues or RFIs. Unlike analytics tools that depend on exported data, Vyssuals stays connected to the live model, so the analysis changes as the design changes.
