Hello there,
We created a cool hoarding graphic incl. QR codes leading to web panoramas. Is there a way to see how many times these links have been used?
It would be great to get some kind of statistics on how many of our visitors actually try the sneak peek and use the 360 panoramas.
If not yet available today, this would be a feature request. 
Also in the current version. Upon the first load components with cut-out plane show up correctly but when batch rendering they won't show correctly. So a screenshot render works but as soon as you batch render the exact same scene with exact same tags active they disappear.
Working for The LEGO Company with lots for models this beveled edges feature is woth a triple thumps up! 👍👍👍
Can’t wait to see this feature Enscape!
First off I generally like the new version and the long awaited framing preview that makes creating the perfectly framed shot so much easier.
Did anyone make the same observation, that batch rendering seems more unstable in 3.0 than in 2.9? I noticed that exporting individual scenes works, while batch render (especially scenes with different layer combination that need to get loaded) Sometimes it crashes also during manual render if moving to a scene with a separate layer combination. Only work around is to export each view manually and not in batch. This happened to a couple of older models so not connected to the SU model. (RTX 3000 mobile, 16BG RAM, win10, SU2021, Enscape 3.0)
Some quick other feedback:
- miss the separate batch render button which we use most often, submenu ok - but again an extra click
- cumbersome process to mark views a favorites compared to 2.9. You have to go manually in each and every scene, change, save, exit, select next. Why can't I click on the stars in the view overview like before in 2.9? Would be so much faster to asjust favorites. Or why not have multiple favorites presets just like multiple visual presets? E.g. often weonly render option 1 ... then the views with option 2, perspectives vs plans etc etc.
cheers, Thomas
No, as far as I am aware sections are not yet supported in batch rendering. I usually only render perspectives as a batch and ONLY render sections one by one after switching to parallel projection. I turn on camera sync on so the enscape view matched the sketchup one with the section, then unsync again before rendering - not sure why but this worked for me to render sections.
I hear you on the new video editor. I do feel it is a step down from the old one, even though the UX might be clearer.
Yes I had the same problems with the last frame staying longer but managed in the end somehow with extra frames before the end.
The addition of keyframes between two existing keyframes needs improving, when 2 frames are close to each other there is not space enough for the plus sign. Or did a miss a timeline zoom?
I'm not using Virtual Desktop either. Below just works for me, depending on your PC you might want to lower the quality for VR:
1. SketchUp & Enscape running
2. Link cable in, power up Headset
3. Enable Oculus Link, Oculus app pops up
4. click on VR in the Enscape window
5. return to VR and have a work around
For some reason it seemed to work for me to:
1. activate the sketchup otho/parallel view
2. sync the view
3. unsync the view again (that might mean your view doesn't match 100%)
4. "take screen hot" / render this view only
FYI number 2 - we went back to a fixed letter network drive solution. All users use the S: drive to connect to our SketchUp server. This is the only way for the time being to ensure 100% correct links to proxies. As soon as you move stuff things get messed up - obviously....
I am experiencing the same issue with the most recent version. The enscape mp4 is not recognized by camtasia 2018, other mp4s yes. Only workaround is to recode the enscape video with camtasia to same res same 30s per frame and it works. Is there anything special about the mp4 enscape creates?
Praise the search function! I also had the same issue with watching my animations again and again from the start just to see the edits at the end. And I agree, it would be great if this option is more visible from keyframe preview.
Have a look at the other forum posts. Something with Su treating FOV horizontally and Enscape vertically. Especially in batch render you will run into problems. Best to create the scenes with create view in the enscape tool bar from the enscape preview. I tried to briefly syncronize views to figure out what FOV sketchUp translates Enscape scenes to, then update SketchUp scenes with exact that value and it seems to help. Otherwise your only choice is to export one image at the time as you write. There a other posts on aspect ratio etc.
How to match SketchUp scenes perfectly for batch render?
+1 for that. While busy rendering it would be nice to do other work without having to navigate around the annoying rendering bar in the middle of my other windows... Any ETA on this? SketchUp 2020 2.9 Enscape
Hi,
using a 360 path generated through a smart excel table I found here, I created attached 7s animation. Worked like a charm but the animation is very blurry? Any idea what the problem could be? Can't attach small .mp4s so attached a zip or below onedrive link.
Thanks, Thomas
Hi,
is there a way to get Enscape to render line the same way as we see with the current SU style? Enscape outlines frame nicely the edges of a shape but geometry of groups positioned edge to edge get smoothed / not shown when rendering with outline)
Is there anyway to show these lines without needing to model the edges? Attached various ways to work around this but it would save a lot of time to show the "hidden" geometry?
Is there a feature planned for more control of line style? E.g. similar to the soften edges panel in SketchUp or styles. (e.g. line extensions, profiles, dashes etc.)
Bkhr We too are using Transmutr in order to create "light" placeholders (the bounding box is often not enough to know which way a model is facing and how big it actually is) and the _full geometry ones.
When relinking a proxy to a changed full geometry version I do this:
1. double click inside your light model and copy the transmutr group with your light placeholder geometry into memory. exit component
2. relink your "light" proxy to the new full geometry model using the enscape model & link to new path
3. You light model will change to a simple bounding box. Double click inside, paste the light geometry group from memory and delete the bounding box. exit component & save as new component. (note SketchUp might suggest the old file name on save as so be careful and rename in the dialog) > your new light component now links to the correct proxy
Makes sense?
Note that my SketchUp crashed a couple of times when trying to relink, that part of enscape doesn't seem to be super stable.
Thanks Egie. This looks like to be perfect for single export of individual scenes with perfect control over size and aspect ration. Batch export seems to be a different process all together so for that we will continue to create scenes via Enscape preview window, unsynced and batch render with sync off.
Still looking for a way to set the Enscape preview window to a certain aspect ratio - any way this is possible?
Thanks for confirming Benjamin. Still wondering how to match the enscape window to be perfectly 16:9 after resizing but I guess you would check that by eye in the single render preview.
