Chaos, a leader in visualization and design technology, has expanded its ecosystem with the acquisition of EvolveLAB, a pioneer in AI-powered tools for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. This strategic move brings powerful new products into the Chaos portfolio that help designers, architects, and BIM professionals work faster, streamline workflows, and unlock creative potential through artificial intelligence.
EvolveLAB’s suite of tools — including Veras, Glyph, Morphis, and Helix — now integrates with Chaos offerings like Enscape, V-Ray, Corona, and others to create a more connected, efficient design-to-visualization workflow. This blog explores what each of these tools does, who it’s for, and how they can enhance your visualization and design process.
What Is Veras and How It Enhances Visualization
AI-Powered Concept Visualization
Veras is an AI-powered visualization application originally developed by EvolveLAB and now part of Chaos. It is designed to accelerate ideation and visual exploration by generating refined visualizations directly from your existing 3D models or sketches.
Veras works with major modeling and CAD/BIM platforms such as:
-
Vectorworks
-
Archicad
-
Allplan
-
Web applications
Key Features and Benefits
-
AI Visualization Automation: Convert 3D geometry, 2D images, or sketches into polished visual concepts rapidly.
-
Geometry Override Slider: Adjust how much AI should reinterpret your geometry and materials for creative flexibility.
-
Selective Rendering: Render only parts of an image using new AI prompts for faster iterative workflows.
-
Broad Platform Integration: Supports multiple design environments, making it flexible for diverse project types.
Who It’s For
Veras is ideal for architects, designers, and visualization specialists who need rapid concept development, style exploration, and presentation visuals without spending hours manually rendering or model tweaking. It also seamlessly complements Enscape for rapid iteration between concept and real-time visualization.
Glyph: Automated Documentation for Revit Users
Glyph is a workflow automation plugin for Autodesk Revit designed to reduce the time spent on repetitive documentation tasks.
Main Capabilities
-
View and Sheet Creation: Automatically generate views and sheets based on project structure.
-
Tagging and Dimensioning: Apply standardized tags and dimensions consistently across documentation.
-
Sheet Packing: Organize sheets and deliverables efficiently for client or stakeholder reviews.
Benefits
By automating documentation, Glyph helps BIM professionals eliminate hours of manual work, increase accuracy, and improve consistency in model deliverables. It also supports rapid project setup and enhances team productivity.
Who It’s For
Glyph is aimed at Revit users, BIM managers, and documentation specialists who need to standardize and accelerate drawing production while maintaining quality and compliance.
Morphis: Real-Time Generative Design
Morphis is a data-driven generative design application built for Revit that provides responsive design solutions.
What It Does
Morphis uses generative principles to help:
-
Explore design alternatives quickly
-
Generate responsive design options within a real-time workflow
-
Support on-the-fly decision making by producing adaptive design outcomes
Who It’s For
Morphis is ideal for Revit users who want to incorporate computational and responsive design strategies into conceptual phases or early development without leaving the BIM environment.
Helix: Interoperability Between BIM Tools
Helix provides interoperability between different BIM platforms by converting models between formats.
Core Functionality
Helix can:
-
Convert SketchUp, AutoCAD, and Rhino models into native Revit components
-
Synchronize models between platforms without data loss
-
Facilitate smoother transitions across design stages and toolsets
Who It’s For
Helix is useful for multidisciplinary teams, BIM coordinators, and firms working with multiple modeling platforms that need seamless interoperability and integrated workflows across the design process.
How Chaos EvolveLAB Tools Enhance Your Workflow
By integrating EvolveLAB’s tools into its ecosystem, Chaos now offers a more robust and AI-driven workflow from concept to documentation and visualization. These tools empower users to:
-
Move from early concept ideation to refined visuals quickly
-
Reduce manual documentation work
-
Enhance interoperability across design platforms
-
Explore generative design without complex scripting
Importantly, Veras can integrate with Enscape in real time, helping designers quickly visualize and refine concepts before committing to final renderings. This allows teams to iterate faster and communicate design intent more clearly.
Closing: Accelerate Your Design and Visualization with Chaos AI Tools
The addition of Veras, Glyph, Morphis, and Helix to the Chaos portfolio marks a significant step in AI-driven workflows for architects, designers, and BIM professionals. These tools help you bring ideas to life faster, enhance creativity, and automate time-consuming tasks so you can focus on design quality and innovation.
