Hey dvsone1440 and rifkin

Our developers have taken a look at this issue, and our assets in the CAD's are usually just an object with our asset id which is an instance of some sort of re-usable component/definition/symbol that holds the placeholder geometry. This also means you can change those instances and those definitions.

They think what happened here is that either the reference to the definition or the definition itself got modified so that an empty object with just the asset id was left over. They would suggest the same action that I mentioned above to delete the asset from Enscape in such cases.

This isn't a bug but just how our asset system works.

Thanks for looking into this. I will try that solution.

Great thanks for the update. I was baffled but did not know deleting it in the library was an option thanks.

The only scenario I could think of was someone had deleted the shape inside the enscape component (I have young staff working on this model... so possible) but I tried a test and if you open the asset component and delete the generic shape, it seems to disappear in Enscape as well. Which surprised me.. I thought it might stay but it does not.

Yes Checked hide layers etc.. I will send the file.

THanks

I deleted this object in SKP but it still appears in Enscape. I have restarted it and it does not go away in Enscape? See images

Demian Gutberlet is there any update on this?

Another full month has passed since the last update from Demian.

This is clearly way down on the list of priorities.

Not pleased.

Up..

I will never understand why you guys release all these new versions without making sure they will actually function for you customers! Whatever minimal bells and whistles and "updates" the new version adds, it means nothing if it doesn't work! The amount of company time wasted on these latest updates from sketchup and enscape is ridiculous.

It's a constant frustration and time suck. I would rather have fewer bells and whistles and a more stable platform that continues to work. Enscape certainly has it harder as they can't do their work until sketchup (or insert other program) releases its updates. Sketchup in an earlier iteration decided to change the main way you interact with the most basic moves, so years of muscle memory are out the window. Luckily they listened to the outcry and reversed course (classic coke). Its really hard when you get used to an ability and your clients get used to you presenting a certain way (fluid use of 3d mouse for walkthroughs) and then you have to explain to them you cant do that anymore and have to go backwards to a more clunky style. Bells and whistiles are nice but the 3d mouse was one of the main reasons I transitioned to Enscape.

I continue to use 3.2 preview 6 which is the latest working version. From 7 the problem began and is still present today. Preview 7 was released in October 2021 !!!!!! And therefore no SketchUp 2022 and latest features.

My company has a blanket policy of only paying for the current license so I am forced to go to 2022 meaning no 3d mouse in enscape for me.

I am sorry to keep you waiting, we have an upcoming meeting again soon to discuss this internally and whether or not there is anything we can do to improve upon this. At the moment though, the only option for us seems to be reverting back to the old system used in 3.1 and before, which may also re-introduce some other issues again. Expect to hear back from me though in a couple of days.

Thanks for the update, Demian.

I agree.. such an integral reason to my workflow and why I like enscape so much.

We are all still waiting. I understand it's out of your dev's hands since it's on the 3dConnexion side of things with the way Enscape chose to integrate it, but it seems like we get a "update as soon as possible" for the last 3 months now.

Is there any concrete info you can tell us?

I don't know what I was seeing. I swear it was working the other day and now it is not. Ignore my comment. Very frustrating.

All I noticed a new build 2 days old. Installed it along with the new 3d connexion driver and it seems to be working!

Thanks for the Update, Demian. The effort is appreciated.

Quote from Demian Gutberlet

Everyone, I cannot exactly promise when, but 3D Connexion stated they'll work on their API to resolve these ongoing issues in combination with Enscape - They also stated that it won't take much longer, but as of now there is no exact release date just yet. Still, stay tuned and await more good news soon.

The latest working version is 3.2 preview 6.

When you say "working" is that working between skp and enscape as well as the old drivers so walk mode / 3d mouse control works as expected?

I have mine basically working. It seems a bit twitchy but otherwise, it is working as I would like it to with these settings attached. It seems to be working pretty well but it was a lot of testing to get it there.

I actually never use walk mode because of constantly running into things. I previously could control fly mode in a way that keeps it basically at head height and that way I do not run into things and bounce. like this https://www.dropbox.com/s/v381…4dqk3/3dmouseFly.mp4?dl=0

so losing walk mode is not a big deal for me.,, The big deal is that it now switches mid-walk from rotating to zooming in Object mode which is basically uncontrollable. I use this every day to present designs so losing it is not good. I am hopeful there can be some solution to this as it is way more important to my workflow than any of the new features in 3.2

Up.

That's a real shame. Being able to glide through the interior of a house, up and down stairs, with the 3D mouse was night and day over using the mouse and keyboard. It gave presentations a real professional touch. This is a big back step. Can I ask what the reason was to change? This worked perfectly before. There was no need to change any settings apart from toggling the invert box to match up to your preference.

I am having the same issue. I can almost control it with object mode and the horizon locked.. it will work as expected then will switch from rotating to zooming when I rotate the dial. This is a dealbreaker for me. I will have to go back the space mouse is too important to my workflow.

I had to do the same complete uninstall.. reinstall an older version of skp then install enscape then install new skp and then it worked.
