Proxy / linked model reload button?

Hi

Can we have an reload button for the proxies / linked models?

- i have inserted a tree

- opened the tree in an other instance of sketchup

- modified the materials

- saved the model

- went back to the other sketchup and selected the tree model again under linked model

- nothing changed

- i then pressed the "linked model" button

- selected an other model

- opened the link again, and selected the tree from before

- then changes was updated

It seems you can't reload a model - well i can't, if i don't use this workaround.

But I might do it the wrong way?

Thanks

Thanks Vendel3D

I was not aware of that, but if i right click > select reload, and browse to the model, and select the model, all the proxies are gone.

That was not what i needed, but maybe I did it wrong, or I did not explain what I search for.

A simple reload button for the enscape proxies inserted in the current model, so I easily can update proxies i modify in an other instance of sketchup.

I still don't get it - I just wan't an easy way to reload a enscape proxy.

An example -

SCENE

I have a chair linked in.

CHAIR

Then I open an other instance of sketchup.

Edit the material of the chair in the Encape material editor and save the file.

SCENE

Then I wan't to reload the chair that has changes.

I open the Enscape Objects, link to the chair again - but nothing happens.

I then link to an other chair, wait for it to load, then relink to the edited chair - and i works.

WISH

I wish a simple reload button that forces Enscape to reload the model.

Ah ok thanks vjaramillo - I'll have to test that.

Jorgensen

Sorry vjaramillo - i don't understand this part "then save the proxies ini Enscape window update".

I don't have a update icon only, a select folder icon.

Hi Simon Weinberger

The linked file is on my ssd external hd. I just tried to move the linked file to c:\ and then it works!

But that's not the best solution.

If it's not possible to automate this feature (does it cost resources to check for updates?) on external or network drives - a reload button would do fine.

Quote from vjaramillo

what I meant is, once you save the original file that you're importing as a proxy, the change should update in the Enscape frame.

it seems not to update when the proxy is on an external ssd. not that i had time to test it deep, but i tried to move the file to c: and then it got updated.
