Hi

When I open Stats, I can see there is a user without a username.

Is there a way to somehow avoid this or find out who the user is?

Kind regards

Hi MatthiasB

I hope we get an solutions that works, without workarounds. Else I need to use Vray instead.

Hi

We have just presented a project for a client, and we wanted to use Enscape for the illustrations.

We did 95% of the illustrations with Enscape / Sketchup, but had to do the last 5% in Vray / Sketchup.

It was not possible to create isometrics that showed the different levels using sections, as Enscape does not support nested sections - we did not want to cut the context, and the other issue was that building parts that was cut away, like the levels above and the roof, cast shadows, and therefore makes the illustrations look quite odd.

As mentioned, we had to use Vray instead for theese illustrations, and Vray did a fine job, but I hope that we can use Enscape for all the illustrations.

Did we do anything wrong or this is this a known issue / limitation? and are there any plans for changing the way sections work?

Thanks

TowerPower

Yes - I used that one - they come with bum and specular.

It looks interesting. I will have a look at that.

Thanks

I hope it's ok to ask a tool question - has any of you experience with multiple persons working on the same project in Sketchup?

I think that's one of Revit's big forces, but I find Sketchup more free / creative, so it would be nice if we could do something similar in Sketchup

3DMake I'm sure you are right - just didn't have the time to experiment right now. I will look into it after the deadline

Thanks

I was actually against that Enscape was distributed with assets, because it could only make the product more expensive, but..... it's quite nice to be able to fast populate a model.

There are some nice assets, but... I often miss just "that one", therefore - is there a way we can add / create our own assets?

Thanks

I did manage myself - by adjusting the coordinates and rotation - it did take a lot of time.

I also had to mirror the texture

Hi

I wonder if any of you have had any luck adding an image to a toposurface in revit?

I have drawn a floor 500 m x 500 m added the texture, moved an scaled, but not rotated, and it look fine.

Then i add the texture to the toposurface and the image get both moved, rotated and MIRRORED!

I often do this in sketchup, and it would only take a few minutes to do. But in Revit it's a pain in the ...... but I might do something wrong?

I would like to achive this in Revit, as it could be nice to keep everting in Revit, so I don't have to work on two models. At least as a test.

Not sure what happens - sorry.

Hi gadget.

Not sure I can figure out what you mean.

I think I once used a plug-in called texture replacer by thom thom, but I’m not. I have to try it.

I’m not at the computer right now. Is it possible to right click on a texture and make a copy in the enscape texture editor?

Simply amazing - super job Finn!!

Just a simple way to

- setup an material with reflections, bump map and....

- then make a copy of that material, make some adjustments

And then be able to swith between those materials just by pulling a connection from one of them.

I guess now I have to select every single face in the model to switch materials. But I might be wrong..?

When using Octane I often had variations of the same material flowing around as nodes, and then just connecting as needed.

Not sure if it makes sense. And It's nothing I can't live without - just a thought

Hi

I think it's very usefull to be able to adjust the preview quality, but does it need to affect the render quality?

I would like to be able to set the quality in the preview window to be low, so I can navigate in a heavy model, but the renders should always be exported in ultra quality (or set separeted from the preview settings).

It seems that you can add elements, but can you also modify the existing building? Like cutting holes?

Is this done in Sketchup?

Look very nice!

Stunning - and very informative!

Hi Demian Gutberlet

I'm still having some problems, and tried to start a conservation with you, but got a message that you are to busy.

What do I do if I would like to send the model to you?

Hi

Might be a stupid question, but could it be technical possible to create somekind of node editor for Enscape / Sketchup?

The reason I ask is, that I have used Octane a couple of times, and found the node way of doing things quite usefull - well a least when I got used to it

It could be useful to setup some textures, and then be able to switch them around to fast check out the effect they have.
