Julian Hangstoerfer I haven't seen this before either and I've been using Enscape with VW since the first release. Nothing happens when I click on the Asset Library tool in the Enscape Tool Set. I also notice that the tool options appear different than they do in VW 2022. See attached screenshot. If I open the asset library from within the enscape renderer window, it works and I can see the assets. It's only failing to launch from the Tool Set.

leecalisti have you tried opening the Asset Library from the Enscape Tool Set? Did you have to add the Enscape Tool Set by customizing your workspace or was it pre-loaded? When I launch the Asset Library from the Enscape Tool Set (which I had to add by customizing my workspace) nothing happens, but I can open the asset library from within the Enscape Renderer once launched.
Can you please check if it works for you?

Hi Folks - yes, have just installed it. All good so far - all tools appeared without need to tell them to, and the Asset Library / Materials editor etc seem to work as they should, just from the briefest of tests. Thanks for sorting the issues, Enscape people.

Themeda I believe it works.
I migrated my preferences and workspace from VW 2022 into 2023, so Enscape was sitting there (empty). Today, when I downloaded the most recent version of Enscape, then opened VW, it appeared properly (for once).
I went through all the Enscape settings and features and (so far) it seems to work. I tested a few renderings and a video. I admit I'm 'holding my breath' until I test it further.
I'm sorry I have no answer to your question.
-
PhilBixby that's great. I wonder why I'm unable to launch the Asset Library and why the tools had to be manually added to my workspace. I've checked VW2022 and it's working as expected. The only difference as far as I know is that I'm running the AUS version of VW and I assume you and Lee are not.
-
leecalisti thanks for confirming. I've submitted a feedback request and will have to wait and see what Enscape support can do.
-
Yes - UK version here. Likewise had migrated the workspace from VW 2022 and up until now had a row of little red x's where the missing tools were (or weren't).
-
Themeda I didn't realize there was an AUS version - or that there wouldn't just be just one English language version.
Maybe that's your answer, but it doesn't make sense - meaning it seems unfair to you. I get so frustrated with software, I'm sure you're pretty unhappy.
Do you cross-post on the VW forum too?

leecalisti yes there's an Aus specific version for which SP1 was only released yesterday.
I don't know if that accounts for my issue but it's the only point of difference as far as I can tell. Yes, pretty frustrating.
I haven't posted on the VW forum about this particular issue but did see the thread you've linked as I've been following the thread here. I'll contact VW AUS support in the morning. It's 12 am here. Time for bed!
-
Did you also post in the VW forum? If not then there are already 2 reports from AUS versions so it's most likely the issue.

Hi, I've downloaded VW SP1 and latest Enscape. On opening VW it doesn't seem to recognise that I have Enscape on the system and doesn't show the usual Enscape tool options. Anyone else having this issue and know how to get VW to 'find' Enscape?

Marshallae - How did you start to use VW2023 - did you migrate your settings from 2022? I'm wondering if you have to bring Enscape in all over again. Tools > Third Party > Enscape > Add Enscape to your Workspace. Do you have the AUS version by chance?

The 3rd party option doesn't seem to exist anymore on VW2023 tools menu. Anyone know where it's gone? (and no, UK version, but Aus)

Julian Hangstoerfer leecalisti PhilBixby Just letting you know that I've fixed the issue with the Asset Library not opening from the Enscape Tool Set. As mentioned, the tool set wasn't added to my workspace (despite having migrated preferences from 2022) so I added it manually. What I've done to fix it is I've added Enscape to my workspace using the Tools > Third Party > Enscape dialogue as leecalisti mentioned above. Now I remember that was the way I had to add it when I first started using Enscape. I don't know why the manual method works for all Enscape tools except for the Asset Library, but it's working now so that's all that matters to me.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Julian Hangstoerfer yes that was me who also posted to the VW forum.

With a completely fresh install of Vectorworks you first need to start up VW at least once for us to be able to detect the installation.
A simple reinstall should fix it. -
