Enscape for TestFit

What it is and how it is different

Enscape for TestFit allows users to create visual renderings of your TestFit projects. By having Enscape for TestFit a lot of the work that would be done manually can be completed automatically. Placement of assets like trees and cars are automatically placed and can be tweaked to your liking. Enscape has specific hardware requirements, you can view them here.

How you use it

Movement

When you move/navigate/rotate in the 3D view of TestFit, Enscape will mimic your TestFit movements. If you'd like to move in Enscape, separately from TestFit, you can use the WASD keys, as well as Shift, Control, and mouse movements to move freely in the render.
