I'm noticing the same thing now after updating my graphics driver and the latest preview version #8 of Enscape. I'll submit a feedback report ( rolled back my preview versions and found that this is not a problem in preview version 6 or 7)

I'm primarily using of SketchUp with Enscape, and Revit is a close second

I'd like to request that the Enscape team expand the list of possible file import types; at the moment It would be great to add *.skp files as possible custom assets that can be imported.

I'd like to get a bit of clarification about what happens when new assets are added to the enscape asset library, (like today with version 3.0). I have previously downloaded the enscape offline asset library but would like to know if there a way to append my existing offline library with the newly added models. It takes a lot of time and data to update the offline library as I currently understand it, which is to delete the existing offline assets and redownload the whole library. Or am I missing a simpler workflow?

thank you!

I am also finding that preview #5 can be bricked many different ways; I'm working with SketchUp 2021. The Enscape window locks up when trying to edit and export videos. Over time it locks up if I click between the the program and Enscape windows too many times with sync turned on. Occasionally the Enscape window fails to load completely.

Preview #5, while a positive visual overhaul of the UI, seems to be a mess for functionality.

I do want to say that I think this is an issue with the spot and rectangular lights as well; all of these objects need an overhaul.

+1 - in sketchup, light placement is very cumbersome and there must be a simpler way to generically place lights and adjust after. Adding more intuitive "grips" and adding XYZ coordinate system input boxes into the Enscape Objects Dialogue box, would solve this.

Has anyone else noticed that panoramas exported using recent versions of Enscape in Sketchup, aren't being viewed properly in some online photo sharing sites? My specific example is that panorama images aren't viewing properly in google photos, where they have just fine in the past. A little digging seems to be pointing to some missing EXIF data in the files (clipped below). I'm using the following version on sketchup (though this has been a problem across a couple of updates)

The following exif data was clipped from an older working 360 image and is missing in newer exports. Not sure if this is the issue, but a solution would be good here

<GPano:CroppedAreaImageHeightPixels>8192</GPano:CroppedAreaImageHeightPixels>

<GPano:CroppedAreaImageWidthPixels>16384</GPano:CroppedAreaImageWidthPixels>

<GPano:CroppedAreaLeftPixels>0</GPano:CroppedAreaLeftPixels>

<GPano:CroppedAreaTopPixels>0</GPano:CroppedAreaTopPixels>

<GPano:FullPanoHeightPixels>8192</GPano:FullPanoHeightPixels>

<GPano:FullPanoWidthPixels>16384</GPano:FullPanoWidthPixels>

<GPano:ProjectionType>equirectangular</GPano:ProjectionType>

<GPano:UsePanoramaViewer>True</GPano:UsePanoramaViewer>

I have a related issue but it concerns sky box images. I notice a mis-alignment of the enscape horizon and my skybox images (this occurs with Insta360 and Richo camera images). Is there some way to align the two horizons or perhaps "tilt/rotate up/down" the skybox image in some way?

Hello I'm having difficulty getting consistent results from Enscapes render window when going through the batch vs current window options; the perspectives / ratio do not match. See attached image and thanks for any help you can offer

Hello - I'm wondering if its possible to view the web standalone exports with a vr headset (like Oculus Quest). If not, are there other options are for sharing a model with a client in VR (minus the standalone EXE or walking through a live model).

I'm thinking along the lines of websites like Kuula (https://kuula.co/explore) and others that view 360 images and have a webVR option. Can this viewing format be used with Enscape's web standalone?

thanks for the follow up - Corey

Take a look at the draft image: https://roundme.com/tour/527996/view/1752397

In order to get the road to appear aligned I had to lower the geometry 150' below SketchUp's natural horizon line, and also tilt the road "down" towards the West (in the direction the car is travelling) even though this is a flat site.

Hello - I believe I saw this in a previous thread but couldn't locate it. Lately I've been working with montaging designs into 360 photos taken with a Ricoh Theta V. I seem to keep running into a couple issues.

1. The perspective of the image doesn't quite match the camera perspective (bad for collage work)

2. The horizon doesn't match the image, and I have to drop my geometry by 100-200 feet, and also lower items in the distance

Is it possible to to have independent control over the perspective of the camera without influencing the 360 image, and also a slider for moving the 360 up or down? This feature would go a long way in helping better match Enscape views to 360 photographs.

Thanks for your consideration, and keep up the good work!

I am also experiencing this heavy lag

While the settings dialog is nice for establishing general parameters, it becomes really cumbersome when you take into consideration that each model has multiple views and sometimes different time of day studies. The permutations get pretty out of hand. And have mercy on your soul if you have to go back into a project that you haven't touched in 6 months - whos settings parameters aren't necessarily saved in the dialog box.

I'd still throw my name in the hat for settings that are tied to camera views.

I have a request regarding the Enscape settings dialogue box. I work between project teams often, moving between SketchUp and Revit multiple times per day and on different models. It is a point of frustration that if i change a setting in SketchUp, that setting is still applied once I open up Revit. Is there a workflow element that I missing? I would like individual 3D views, regardless of program and model, to retain Enscape information; so that when i change the FOV in SketchUp model #1, the field of view in Revit model #5 isn't also impacted.

Does this make sense? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Has this feature been removed in the latest release? I cannot seem to find it in the right-click menu. (SOLVED - my some of my components had become groups)

I should preface this suggestion that I am entirely onboard with Enscape, our firm loves it and our clients and partners love it. I think its an incredible tool and it sets the bar for how software developers should operate.

I recently came across a software called Modelo. (https://modelo.io/). It operates on slightly different principles (uploading models, no modeling plugin functionality with sketchup/revit etc) from what I can tell it's essentially a geometry viewer with some lighting/shading capacity. The presentation visual style is rather underwhelming - they could learn a lot from you guys. However, visual style aside, they have nailed a lot of collaboration features that may be of interest to the Enscape team. Things like walkthroughs, commentary, notation etc. see attached images.

I am not trying to plug their product or put down enscape, I think that both of your teams are addressing different sides of the same problem; perhaps both teams would benefit from sharing, and obviously all users would benefit enormously.

Thanks Enscape and keep up the good work!!

Is it possible to export an enscape EXE from sketchup with audio objects included and enabled? what about animations?
