Hello ryanarch

This looks most likely like an issue with async texture loading. Could you share this sketcup file with us?

Alternatively you could try to disable async texture loading to see if it will help:

1. Create text file ~/Library/Application Support/Enscape/userPre.cfg

2. Add the following line to that file:

m_loadTexturesAsync 0

3. Close SketchUp, open it, start Enscape

If blue anomaly is gone - this is async texture loading bug. In such case we definitely would be glad to have sketchup file to reproduce and fix it.

Disabled async load will lead to longer loading times.

This is by design. Please refer to knowledge base article: https://learn.enscape3d.com/bl…tchup_lighting/#rect_disc

Hello Roberto-RD10

Two available light types is the limitation of current release. There will be lots of updates in the next release, however, release date is not public yet.

Regarding rect light - could you please post a screenshot so we could tell for sure?

Thank you. I’ll com back to you soon when I’ll get them.

Hello suguru

Please send us feedback with crash logs so we could have a look.

You are welcome - this is what the forum is here - to ask questions

There is a link in that forum post that leads to download page: after updating Enscape

Download page also shows version 1.1.20+931 and change log.

Hello ajmwd

Recent Mac version release was a hotfix for Gatekeeper issue on Ventura and a few other issues with user account management.

This version still uses Rosetta to run on M1. No native Apple silicon version was released yet. All I can tell is that a lot of work is going on right now.

All updates with changes can be found on this forum in Mac section Mac Exclusive Discussions & Feedback and Error | Bug Reports

Hi ajmwd and welcome to our forum!

Every new used with zero posts is disabled until manual moderation is done.

Regarding Apple silicon - no official public info yet, but based on the fact that all new Macs have Apple silicon only (meaning Rosetta will be gone some day), the answer would be easy to guess

There is a lot of work on Mac version going on to bring it in sync with Windows version feature wise, but no timeframe yet.

Hi suguru

It was fixed on Windows a long time ago and seems to have become an issue on Mac now because window system on Mac is different and all the input handling had to be implemented again. We are aware of this problem, thank you for reporting.

No problem. Thanks for getting back to us!

nick I'm afraid I could not reproduce it. Would it be possible to share your sketchup project file with us?

Hi nick

thanks for reporting - we have a m2 mac in our tesing rack and will investigate.

Stay tuned.

Ui, .....

Enscape for Mac will not run on my M1 Mac Mini

Hi zoomer

What exactly happens?

Hi Adriancafe

This should not be the case. Looks like some corner case that we didn't see yet. Could you share a project file where it happens with me?

SandyCohen desktop standalone (exe on Windows, something similar will be on Mac) runs the same Enscape engine as CAD plugins do, so the quality will be the same as you see while using Enscape with Sketchup.

Hi SandyCohen

Thank you fore reporting this issue. We didn't see it yet. May I ask you to share project file with us so we could have a direct look at your case?

I'll record it as a bug anyway, but repro case should let us fix it quicker

Thanks, Enscape team for this much-awaited release
I tested it and it works perfectly on my Mac M1 MAX 64 GB ( Smaller files )

Unfortunately, it can't open any of my bigger files ( 100MB upwards )
I know it's the beta version - but just wanted to highlight this point.

Would be great to see how it could handle Larger files.

Hi Ranjit

if possible could you provide us a example project file that does not work for you? 100MB poject is not that big, there might be some other reasons why it does not work.

I'm running Revit through Parallels on a Macbook pro M1 & as has been well documented, Enscape is incompatible due to the limitations of Parallels Open GL support. Is there any chance that the upcoming Enscape for Mac release will somehow allow for mac-based virtual machine Revit users to workaround these issues?

Assuming no because this is a less-common setup, but it would be great to know if at some point there will be a feasible solution to running Enscape/Revit on an M1 machine.

Also - I assumed that I would be able to at least run an enscape .exe in the parallels environment (again, this on an M1 machine) however it appears that does not work either.

Enscape does not use OpenGL on Windows any more - we use Vulkan. Exe standalones use the same engine, so Vulkan support is needed for it too.

Apple's Metal maps well to Vulkan features, so from the point of view of the hardware Vulkan support should be possible, but it's up to Parallels to implement it.

There are different options, yes. This way we could also workaround the issue with "unsigned executable" on Windows that we currently have. As I said - no concrete decision yet, we evaluate different options.

At some point there should be complete* feature parity between Windows and Mac versions, so some kind of standalone export should be present. No concrete plan or promise yet though
