I hope you're right, however dropbox uses dir strings that are tied to username so techincally every user's PC has a different dropbox structure, as opposed to mapping a network drive or the like. However musing on this I wonder whether an 'mklink' could be used to achieve this instead.

Hmmm, if your dropbox folder access are based on different username and different structure, then it is a bit complex.

we are using Windows ACLs, everyone have the access to this folder with read-only permission.

If you gonna try MKLINKS, then you also need to think about the ACL on that folder, but better to check with Enscape team if MKLINKS works for it. As i know some software cannot recognize the MKLINKS. (eg, Adobe Acrobat)

Interested in this also for my team, who actually use Dropbox instead of a local server... so I'm guessing an "Offline" location within a dropbox location won't actually work...

Hi Thiefsie,

I think it is not that different if your dropbox folder also a shared folder for Enscape asset library.

As we also using our shared library as the sync folder for a system like dropbox.

Is this supposed to be resolved or what is the status? I'm using the latest Enscape-3.2.0+63301

I'm experimenting with offline assets on our server - if I point to a server location, it takes around a minute to open the library. Versus putting the library on the local PC drive which opens in a few seconds.

I see there are 30,000+ files in the asset folder, so maybe that's just how long it takes to chew through all those to get the preview window open. But I was a bit surprised to see that much discrepancy between our server and the local drive. Is that to be expected or is there anything I can tell our network guys to improve things?

It's kind of a workflow killer. The alternative is to copy the assets to everyone's individual PC.

Hirifkin,

Actually the new Enscape ver3.2.0 (3.2.0+63301) fixed our offline asset slowness / freeze issue, but it also bring the other issue about the Enscape Crash.

Luckily for us, with the latest Nvidia Enterprise driver 472.47 installed and the DLSS option disabled in Enscape, our Rhino 7.11 is running stable.

Not sure what is the reason for the slowness of your shared library, it works fine for our shared library. only takes about 10-15 seconds to open the offline asset. (it will be slow on the 1st time of opening, about 30-45 seconds).

Without the Enscape issue, then i think you can also look into your environment ? such like network bandwidth, switch rules, also the spec of your server storage (disks).

Hope this could give you some clue.

Unfortunately, We have the same problem here.

With Enscape 3.2.0, Rhino 7 will get crash when we start rendering.

I have updated the Nvidia driver to the enterprise version 472.47 and cancelled the DLSS option, then it works now, but still we are not 100% sure on the issue.

Hi Xiaoyu_Wang

We are currently planning to release our 3.2 version next week Wednesday November the 24th.

Hi Rick,

Thanks a lot for letting me know.

Dear Enscape Team,

I know your team are very busy, but still there are enscape users are waiting for the new 3.2.0 version.

As this version have the Offline Asset Library Freeze issue fixed.

Please kindly let me know if you have any plans on this 3.2.0 version, so I can arrange the necessary work for our users.

Many Thanks

Hey there,

Technically, it is very easy if you know how the offline library works.

I mean you can simply adjust the path inside the settings.json file to connect to the different offline library.

(This file is located here “%userprofile%\Documents\Enscape\Settings”, you can open it with notepad)

"OfflineAssetsDirectory": {

"Value": "X:\\Main Folder\\library folder"

},

"UseOfflineAssets": {

"Value": true

},

(make sure you will use "\\" for your folder path and make sure the Value under UseOfflineAssets set to True.)

if you have several offline library, you can make several different "settings.json" file, then make several quick script to copy the different settings.json to the folder “%userprofile%\Documents\Enscape\Settings”.

Then you can change the offline library by running different scripts, PS: you will need to reopen Rhino to reload the setting file.

Hope this could give you some clue.

jnurnberger , I have gladly sent you a link to watch the Webinar (through a DM). I cannot yet share this recording openly, but it'll be available for everyone to see soon as well. Of course, if anyone else is interested in watching it even before that, let me know and I'll share the link with you too.

Please also send me a link. thank you.

Hi There,

It seems we got the same issue here too.

When our users try to open Rhino inside from Revit, there is an error window pop up says "unable to load Enscape.Rhino7.Plugin.dll Plug-in : initialization failed", details can be found in the attached picture.

Just so you know, even though our previews are not production-proven ready, they're still rather stable. Depending on how long you wish to wait, you can gladly also give the upcoming preview a try since that one will already come out sooner than the next full release.

Thanks, i will arrange some test with the Preview version once it is released.

Hi Demian,

Great news, thanks a lot. i will wait for the 3.2 release.

Hi Demian,

it been more than a month, i am wondering to know if there is any further feedback ?

Hi Demian,

Is there any update on this issue ?

@Demian Gutberlet， Hi Demian, any update on this issue ?

Xiaoyu_Wang , thanks a lot! It would be great if you can also send me the e-mail used to send in the Feedback report itself, but since we do not want people to openly share those addresses here, please briefly send it to me via a direct message, so that I can locate the report instantly to let you know more asap. Thank you!

I've send my emails to you via the direct message.

Thanks

I'm sorry to hear about that!

We've tried to reproduce this problem ourselves but were not able to - can you kindly send in a Feedback report from any of the machines on which it takes 1-3 minutes until everything is loaded? Could you also briefly specify what you mean by "load the content", I reckon you mean the thumbnails for each individual Asset in general, or does it take that long to even open the window in general? Thank you in advance!

Hi Demian,

Sure, I will send in a Feedback Report from Enscape software.

And about The "Load the content" I said - after i click the library button, the library window will pop up, this window will freeze about 1-3 minutes, then show all the assets up, it is happening almost every time when i click the library button.

Please kindly help me after you checked the report.

Thank you

Well, i figured it out by myself.

The configuration file is located here : %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Enscape\Settings\settings.json

Only need to make sure the value inside the setting.json file is TRUE.

But i've noticed a further issue, after enable the offline asset library, each time when i open the library it will take about 1-3 minutes to load the content, the whole rhino will freeze during this loading process, this is really annoying, is there any way could speed up this ?

Dear Enscape Team,

Any feedback can be shared with me ?

Dear Enscape Team,

I am a IT guy in an Architecture Firm, we have a lot of Enscape users.

We want to put the Enscape Asset Library into a shared folder on our server(with Enscape offline Library), so everyone could have the same offline asset library.

Is there any registry value or configuration files can define the folder path of the offline Asset Library ?

Please kindly let me know.

Thank you
