What is Vyssuals?
Vyssuals is a data tool. Therefore it is also a design tool.
What??? Let me explain:
Beyond Visualisation: A Design Tool for Better Buildings
Vyssuals isn't just another data visualization platform. It's a working tool that enables you to design better buildings. How? By helping you see better and verify your work instantly.
Think about it this way: When you're designing a building, you're constantly making decisions about space, materials, systems, and how everything works together. But how do you know if your design decisions are actually working? How do you verify that your room program fits the available space? How do you ensure your massing options are optimized? How can you be sure that pesky door schedule with its 70 columns and 5000 doors is 100% correct?
This is where Vyssuals comes in.
The Enscape for Data
If you've not been living under a rock, you have heard about Enscape - the tool that completely revolutionized the way I and many other architects design buildings. It was the first mainstream tool that showed us the aesthetic state of our design with just a single click. It also meant I could change my design in my modelling tool and get instant feedback on that change. I was looking at it from all angles, making sure what I was designing was always the best possible solution I could come up with. And in case I was not happy with my design, I would just tweak it, look at it again, tweak, look... until I was 100% satisfied.
Now think about all the information in your model that is not about looks. All the information that reflects your planning. Essentially: The state of your project. Traditional BIM workflows often leave you working in the dark. You build your model, but the data — the actual state of your design — is buried in schedules, properties, and parameters that are hard to read and even harder to act on.
Vyssuals breaks you out of this data blindness. It takes all that Revit data and transforms it into something you can actually see and use to make better design decisions.
Vyssuals is the Enscape for information.
But in contrast to Enscape, Vyssuals is not just for architects. So far, engineers have been left out of this revolution of real-time validation. With Vyssuals, all AEC professionals like structural engineers, HVAC planners, and construction companies finally get to see their data in real-time.
Real-Time Insights for Real Design Problems
Vyssuals integrates seamlessly with Revit to provide real-time data visualization directly within your design environment. Instead of exporting data to complex business intelligence tools like PowerBI or struggling with static spreadsheets, you get:
- Live property visualizations in both 3D and 2D views
- Interactive charts that update as your model changes
- Color-coded feedback that immediately highlights design issues
- Scenario comparisons to evaluate different design options
From Data to Design Decisions
Here's how it works in practice:
1. See Your Data
Your Revit model contains thousands of data points — room areas, wall properties, door schedules, material quantities. Vyssuals makes this data visible and understandable, so you can make your model more reliable.
2. Verify Your Ideas
Want to know if your room program fits? Vyssuals shows you exactly how your spaces are distributed across floors. Need to evaluate massing options? Compare different iterations side-by-side with real data.
3. Design with Confidence
When you can see the data behind your design decisions, you can make better choices. You can identify problems early, optimize solutions, and communicate your design intent more clearly.
The Planning and Data Connection
This same thinking applies to planning and data. Vyssuals isn't just about visualizing what you've already built—it's about using data to inform what you're going to build.
- Early Design: Use data to validate concept designs before committing to detailed modeling
- Quality Control: Catch design issues before they become construction problems
- Stakeholder Communication: Show clients and team members exactly what your design achieves
- Iterative Improvement: Test design changes and see their impact immediately
More Than Visualization: Assisting Designers
Vyssuals is more than just a visualization tool — it's design assistance for Revit users. By seamlessly integrating real-time data visualization with your Revit workflow, it offers you the tools to:
- Make smarter design decisions based on actual data
- Improve collaboration through clear, visual communication
- Streamline workflows by eliminating manual data analysis
- Focus on planning rather than data processing
The Bottom Line
Vyssuals transforms how you think about BIM data. Instead of data being something you extract after the fact, it becomes an integral part of your design process. You're no longer designing in the dark—you're designing with insight, confidence, and the ability to verify that your ideas actually work.
That's what makes Vyssuals a data tool, not just a visualisation tool. It's about using data to design better buildings, not just to report on what you've already built.
