Chaos (the parent company) has published a roadmap for Mac users:

Enscape is a real-time rendering and VR plugin used with BIM tools; Archicad is a BIM authoring tool. On Mac, Enscape integrates with Archicad (starting with Archicad versions supported by Enscape for macOS) to provide immediate visual feedback, rendered views, and VR previews. This guide gives actionable steps for setup, workflows, troubleshooting, and performance tips. Chaos (the parent company) has published a roadmap

Enscape is for lighting/materials; BIMx is for structure. Do not try to model inside Enscape.

Because native support is missing, many Archicad Mac users desperate to use Enscape utilize Parallels Desktop, a virtualization software.

For years, Mac users in the architecture and design industries faced a frustrating reality. While Archicad has long been a native Apple silicon powerhouse, the plug-in ecosystem for real-time visualization lagged behind its Windows counterpart. Specifically, Enscape—the industry giant for instant, real-time rendering—was previously unavailable for macOS.

That has changed. With the release of Enscape 4.0 and subsequent updates, Graphisoft and Enscape have officially bridged the gap. This article dives deep into everything you need to know about running Enscape for Archicad on a Mac, including installation, system requirements, workflow advantages, and performance benchmarks.
