When will there be a new version of The Datasmith Plugin for Sketchup?
Yesterday a new version was released for the old 2024 version of Sketchup, but what about Sketchup 2025?
I really want to switch to 2025 but I need the connection to Twinmotion.
Work is in progress.
Current ETA is for May/June 2025.

Thanks for the great news! Looking forward to it!
Hey Flavien, do you have any updates or a release date for the 2025 Datasmith plugin for SketchUp?
My mistake, I did not take into consideration it was a Twinmotion question.
There is a version on the Unreal website https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/datasmith/plugins that was released with UE 5.6.0 Preview.
Current Twinmotion version is not on 5.6 yet, and this plugin is on Preview code, thus this plugin cannot be considered production ready for Twinmotion usage and this is why it is not on TM plugin page yet.
Depending on your risk exposure, you could still use that 5.6.0 version of the plugin
- if you have sketchup 2024 and are on a production project then keep using Sketchup 2024 and the 5.5 version of the plugin.
- If you only have sketchup 2025, or are on a test machine you could try it
If you get the 5.6.0Preview plugin, update the plugin once the 5.6.X versions are released and move onto the version from TM site as soon as it is out.
