Thank you so much for your reply. Indeed, I did what you said, downgraded my driver from 30.0.14.9649 to 30.0.14.7212 and the problem is fixed.
I can continue my project calmly now, haha! Thanks again.

I'm sorry to bump this post, but in 3 days I've gotten no replies and my problem with the section cuts still persists.
If anyone has any clue what the problem might be, I'd be very grateful.

Update: Tried uninstalling and reinstalling Enscape. No effect whatsoever.

Hello.
I'm experiencing a weird problem with my Enscape and SketchUp since yesterday evening. If someone could help, I'd be very grateful.
Whenever I put a Section Cut in the SketchUp viewport, my whole model completely disappears from the Enscape viewport.
Moving the camera around, I can randomly relocate the model but I lose it the second I move the camera to another angle.
It looks very much like the clipping issue in SketchUp models but for Enscape.
Tried tweaking all the settings, starting from scratch in a brand new SKP file, reducing graphics - nothing.
PC settings:
Windows 10
i7 8700
16 GB RAM
NVIDIA GTX 1070 8 GB
SketchUp version: 2020

Hey, can you send a screenshot of the scene out of SketchUp...
Enscape makes a difference between soften Edges and sharp edges...
i paste two screenshots with sharp an soft edges. Maybe it helps.
I can reassure you my faces are all smooth and curved; it's common knowledge an unsmoothed face will create the banding problem so making sure the faces were smooth is the least I could do... But as I proved earlier, the problem is in the Soft Shadow setting.

renderwiz thank you for your input and interest. You're right, finding the bug didn't help to solve the problem.
I tried to scale the whole model to see if it would make a difference. There is a slight change in the banding problem when I scale the model 5x. Here are 2 pics to compare with a scale estimate.
This is the original. The archways are ~30 cm apart.
And this is 5x bigger. Archways ~140cm
Even if I scale it 10x you can still see the banding problem. It fully disappears when you set Shadow Sharpness to 100%.

Hey everyone, thank you all so much for your replies. I found the bug! It's because of Shadow Sharpness.

Sorry to bump this post but I'm still struggling to fix this problem. Can anyone help?

The first 50 seconds of this Thea Render trailer is something I really really hope Enscape will add in the future. Namely bevel edges by texture and edge texture. -
More pictures here. The surface is smooth in SketchUp and it's a solid. Even applying a texture doesn't mask the banding problem.

Hey everyone.
I'm experiencing a problem with Enscape that I've never had before. I think it's new because I never noticed it before. Please see the picture below. I have a weird "banding" problem when I shine the sunlight on this curved surface. It's a simple semicircle with 24 sides. Tried reducing the segment count, copy pasting, drawing from scratch in a brand new file. Checked graphic card updates. Nothing helps. Is this normal? I don't remember ever coming across a problem like this before.

Thank you very much Demian.
Meanwhile I will have to figure out a workaround. -
Dear Enscape people,
I have a quick question for the developers. I'm not sure if this is how the program is supposed to work, or if it's in fact a bug.
Is it normal that the emissive feature of a material doesn't work if the texture is applied to a face-the-camera component?
I'm modeling a fire torch and the fire is a simple rectangle with a texture of a fire on a transparent background applied to the surface.
The emissive material works fine as long as the rectangle is a regular component. However when I set it to always face the camera, the emissive feature disappears.
Is this normal?
Thanks a bunch in advance.
