Branching creates a separate Space from a revision you choose. You can start with the active revision or an earlier one, then develop the new Space with its own revision history.
For example, if you’ve approved a layout but want to try a different kitchen design, branch the approved revision. You can explore the kitchen changes in the new Space and keep the approved design available in the original.
Which products does branching apply to?
Branching is available for the following products:
Enviz
Enviz Floorplan Visualizer
Enviz Pro
Create a branch
Sign in and open the Space you want to branch. Enviz Client Portal
Select Settings.
Under Space actions, find the revision you want to use. You can choose the Active revision or one listed under Previous revisions.
Open Options on that revision and select Branch.
Complete the purchase of the additional Space that will be created.
Once the branch is ready, open the new Space to continue working on that design.
What does branching cost?
Creating a branch costs the same as a standard Enviz upload. If you're using Enviz Pro it will cost the same as a standard Enviz Pro Space. This gives your branched version its own hosted Space, ready to share and view across all supported devices.
Work with your revisions
You can give a revision a descriptive name, such as Approved layout or Kitchen option A. Open Options beside the revision and select Edit name.
To change which revision viewers see when they open an existing Space, use the revision’s Options menu under Space actions.
Reuse a refined design across a larger site
For home builders and others who use the same design repeatedly, start by refining an individual model into a base design you’re happy with.
When you want to use that design across a larger site, create a branch from the refined model. In 3D Modeller in Enviz AI, upload the site plan and ask the modelling agent to duplicate and position the design in the locations indicated.
This gives you a separate Space for the broader site development while keeping the individual base design available for future projects.
Compare light and dark schemes
Create separate branches for different colour and material schemes, such as a light scheme and a dark scheme.
You can use these versions to help potential buyers compare finishes or to decide which scheme suits your own home, apartment or office. Each option can be explored as its own walkable Space.
Present different furnishing options
Create branches to explore different furniture arrangements and interior design options for a house, apartment or commercial space.
For example, you might present several ways to furnish an apartment’s living area or compare different furniture layouts in an office. Each branch gives you a separate version to develop and present, helping clients or buyers compare the options.
These are just a few of the ways you can use branching. As you work with the Enviz AI modelling tool, you’ll recognise opportunities to keep a version you’re happy with and explore another direction in its own branch.
