Hi Demian, thanks for the info.

Do you have any similar information on the PICO 4?

I've noticed this too, but I don't really mind about that

Enscape has to change the scene/view, change sun position/settings, FOV, and whatever sketchup settings are applied to that new scene... and even recalculate if you are using individual settings for each scene

If you render it individually you have to take into account the amount of time it takes YOU to change the scene manually and then press render again

I usually just press batch render and go for a 10 minute brake

I'm sorry if my reply was in any way offensive, it wasn't my intention

What I wanted to say is that you shouldn't be worried about sketchup plugins. Eveybody uses them and they save you A LOT of tedious work, hours and headaches.
And I never heard of a sketchup plugin stealing information or any wrong doing.

What I think happened to you is that maybe you thought you were downloading a plugin and it was in fact some malware or trojan horse disguised as the real plugin...
Like Demian said it happens with a lot of popular software, as they name the malware files with the name of plugin/software/whatever and even create web pages that look like the real ones, so you think you are downloading the real thing, and instead it's a .exe file malware


But please dont let that bad experience prevent you from using plugins... they're the best thing about Sketchup
Just use the extension warehouse like Demian said, it's all clean there

lol.... what??

i'm sorry for laughing but that's one of the most paranoid things i've read in a while...

so you are affraid of a simple plugin which is nothing more than a piece of code written with Ruby by an amateur programmer or the average sketchup user?

then you shouldnt use Sketchup; or Windows OS; or Mac OS; or that browser you are using right now to login to this forum; or ANY other app you have installed on your phone or PC or Mac...
they all connect with their servers and they all have access to that same info

sorry for the off-topic

you can also use plugins like SketchUV, if it's a more complex surface

google it, it's free

Blender

people think of Blender as a modeling/rendering tool but it also has a good and simple video editor

and free too

I've done everything I can to reproduce the 'material selection not syncing' problem ... And I Cant!

Everything is working as expected, I can select a material from the SU materials and it gets auto-selected in the Enscape dialog and visa versa.

The only way I can experience a 'problem' is if the SU materials ARE NOT set to 'In Model' which it never is when SU starts (it's always a library other than the model)

If you can reproduce it go ahead and submit screenshots/video but I can't.

I don't think you understood the problem.

If you have the Enscape material editor already open, then when you select a material in Sketchup, it auto-selects/syncs, as expected. Everything is fine.

But when you have the Enscape material editor closed and you select a material in the Sketchup model BEFORE opening the Enscape material editor, when you open it (click on the round checkered icon), it opens with nothing selected

Observations 1:

One of the reasons I skipped 3.4 was because the Enscape materials dialog didn't sync with the Sketchup one - ie I select a material in SU and it's automatically selected in Ens.

this one, for me, is the one that i just cant understand how they havent fixed yet...

in earlier versions we would open the Enscape material editor and it would open with the material that was already selected in Sketchup... made 100% sense...

now we open the Enscape material editor and nothing is selected, we have to select the material in Sketchup again

i thought it was just a bug and they would fix it, but many versions have been released and its still the same


oh, and another UI thing that should be also super easy to fix, is the ability to select multiple scenes/views and apply a custom visual setting to those multiple scenes/views selected
sometimes we have 20, 30 + scenes, and doing that one by one is just painfuly slow


just my 2 cents

i'm ok with having the option to choose between light and dark theme

just make sure you don't replace the light theme completely and only give us a dark theme, like some softwares have done in the past years

some of us prefer the light side

IMO the problem with the current way of linking settings to scenes is that we have to do it one by one...

sometimes we have like 40+ scenes, some interior, some exterior, night time, etc

so there should be a way to select multiple scenes and assign the custom settings to all of the selected

or SketchUV

also, check if the faces are oriented corretly or reversed

Please kindly make sure to submit a report with logs too if you haven't yet - The more we have the better we can troubleshoot the cause behind this.

Right... at the time I was in a hurry so I just closed it, but I understand that it's useful for the developers. Next time I will

Quote from Tim

So you are able to use the latest Enscape release, just not in SU2023?

Yes, at the moment I'm using the latest stable version - 3.4.4 - with Sketchup 2022. No issues.

Quote from Tim

Heads up, I have reported an issue/ticket with SU2023 and the latest Enscape release not rendering one of my larger projects. Causes a bug splat when loading after 99%. Tested the model in SU2022 and same issue. Reverted back to a preview release build and it's working again, in SU2022. Guess I'm staying away from 2023 for a bit.

This happened to me too

and I also went back to Skup 2022 and it happened again in 2022 too

so, what I figured out is that I had saved the file while in Skup 2023, so when I got the backup file that was still in 2022 version, the problem was gone

that's because you have 'Synchronize views' on

third button in the toolbar, to turn it off

3070 here

never ran out of GPU memory, and I really abuse the amount of vegetation and lights

Hi

I wonder if there is a way to delete every Enscape setting, material settings, assets, and all the Enscape related stuff that is stored inside the Sketchup file.

For assets and lights is easy, you can just delete them, but what about every single material settings and global settings? Is there a way to delete all that Enscape info that is stored?

Thanks in advance

yes, this is really annoying

many times we have to modify the model or make some adjustments and render it again

and plenty of times the clouds/lighting has changed and we have to change the time of day again for all of the scenes, to match the original renders

Hi.

One quick question;

Im a Sketchup + Enscape user

I have a 1070 TI and I almost only do still renderings (95% of the time, sometimes a short video)
also i7-6700k, 64gb RAM and 4 SSD drives

If I upgrade my GPU, will a RTX GPU like the 3060 TI suffer with bottleneck from my current CPU (6700k, 4 cores, 8 threads @ 4200mhz)?
I know that my CPU will bottleneck RTX GPUs A LOT in video games, but IDK about Enscape... does it work the same way as video games?

Thanks in advance
