I'm not sure this method is supported yet.

I wasn’t aware this was an issue from the Transmutr side. I’ll have a look at enabling “Explicit Texture Transformation” and see if the issue persists. Thanks!

I’m positive that’s the case and it’s an imperial to metric issue. But Enscape shouldn’t effect the SketchUp texture properties. I thought maybe it might be related to this post since there was some over writing on SketchUp because I see this issue regularly.

rifkin Not texture resolution, texture scaling in SketchUp is what’s effected.

jiminy-billy-bob Could this be why I have a weird texture bug with transmuted objects used with Enscape? I regularly pull in Transmuted objects and when editing them in Enscape it changes the texture sizing in SketchUp. So if I have a 10"x10" texture in SketchUp, then edit that texture in any way in the Enscape texture editor, the SketchUp texture changes to 3'ish, and I have to go back and assign a new texture size in SketchUp. I'm not sure if it's related, but thought it sounded familiar.

Does anyone else have an issue where whenever an upgrade happens a lot of the custom-linked models disappear? Im running into an issue where after upgrading a scene, and then subsequently downgrading because of bugs, have a bunch of my linked assets just not load.

Yeah, unfortunately, we have some legacy projects that don't work well with 2021 and are much less stable when upgraded (SketchUp issues not Enscape). 3.3 seems to be working just fine, however, so I'll continue with the older version for now and hopefully it will get addressed in some future build. Ill have to test in 2019 to see if the bug persists there as well.

I'm finding in the current release build of Enscape 3.4 I'm getting a crash when I right-click a component to save as an Enscape external model I get an immeadiate crash.

Is anyone else running into this issue?

I havent used the face me, but that might be worth trying!

Its pretty scene dependent. We work in some pretty massive scenes now and one brought my titan rtx to its knees. We ended up upgrading to an A6000 to get a job out the door. The globe plants are amazing but even with the 6000 i have to use them sparingly.

I find having a bunch of smaller flame elements and then scattering them along a thin path makes for a somewhat better result. Think of it almost like a grass scatter instead of a plane. It still doesnt work at every angle, but its a little better.

I understand that entirely - Please definitely forward your Feedback as well through the portal (if you haven't already of course), and I will let product management know again about the importance of this topic. Thanks Ted!

I wasn't aware, thanks, Demian!

We really need something like a pack scene feature Demian Gutberlet Hopefully its something that can be implemented soon er rather than later.

Yeah, this regularly causes problems with our workflow. Maybe with the recent merger yall can get in touch with the V-Ray for SketchUp team and trade some dev tips?

Okay, I'm not the only one then. I'm curious why this is happening as well.

I know the dev who developed the camera matching for V-Ray for SketchUp, Noel Warren, it took him a few days but it worked great once implimented. Demian Gutberlet if there are questions as to how to implement it, I'm sure he'd answer them.

API be damned, I know it's possible!

Yeah, really the video editor is the only reason I have not fully committed to 3.0. In its current form, 3.0 is pretty wonky to work with and not intuitive at all.

So I have an issue with the imported geometry for a lot of our plant library. The X-Frog plant library is pretty low quality geometry for some of their older models. They still work, but if we import them to SketchUp, we can control the edges with "Soften Edges". If we import that same fbx into the custom assets editor, we tend to have poor results because there is no way to smooth the geometry. Is there any workaround for this?

This is also part of the reason having the ability to pull in native program file formats to the Asset editor would be incredibly helpful.

I second this approach, as I have built up libraries of content that I'd love to be able to share between our Sketchup, Revit and Rhino users.

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else has issues with .tif files. I get some very odd texture results when using the .tif files provided by the xfrog plant library.

I tried to upload the files here but I'm getting an error on the forum because it doesn't like .tif either.
