Hello @rodrigomenezes88 , @Christopher1138 , @KOZLU , @MikiEremiki and @Wannoh ,

Thank you for posting your question and issue in the community and it seems like you may have the wrong Content plugin loaded.

With Twinmotion 2023.1 you can export Datasmith files and bring your scenes into UE by using the latest Content plugin found on the marketplace: Datasmith Twinmotion Content for Unreal Engine (Beta) in Code Plugins - UE Marketplace
Here is the documentation to follow along for the Export and import of the Datasmith scene from Twinmotion:
Box

If you are using Twinmotion 2022.2.3 or earlier you will need to use the older plugins found on the marketplace here:

  1. Datasmith Twinmotion Importer Plugin Beta 4: Plugin handling file import through the existing Datasmith and Dataprep workflows.
  2. Twinmotion Content for Unreal Engine Beta 4: Content library reflecting the content shipping with Twinmotion including Master Materials, Assets etc.

Please reference this documentation for the older plugin workflow

Note: You cannot load both old and new Content plugins at the same otherwise there will be issues with loading the correct one.

Hope this helps resolve the problems.

Kind regards,

Vincent B.
