Ddatasmith direct link with Vectorworks

Hello,
I am new to Twinmotion. I am trying to import direct link from Vectorworks but there is “no source available” in import menu. It was working the very first time I check it. I tried to change the exporting path - folder, the “missing file” from TM menu, Uninstall & re-install Twinmotion. Any ideas???

Just want to make sure that your Vectorworks side is active and set to direct link auto-sync on before I give further tips. That’s the play button that shows up when the Datasmith directlink tool is active (I believe it’s by default in the visualization tool set). Also you might want to check the settings on that same tool and check your output path.

That said, I find issues if I try to edit in Vectorworks (for instance if I edit a group or symbol) with direct link active, so I export to Udatasmith with that same tool (it’s the button next to that) the import via the geometry tab in Twinmotion. Once the udatasmith file is in the import tab of the main window, any time you re-export you can hit the refresh icon on the udatasmith file to sync any changes.

I have follow the instructions given from tube video. It was working in the very first time.
I tried with VW 2022 new files and old ones… I have change the path of VW direct link. It is working from VW, message “direct link auto sink started”, I can see the folder in finder " direct link" with the Datasmith files inside. When I’m trying to import from the TM menu IMPORT/DIRECT LINK there is “no source available”. Although I can import Datasmith files from VW to TM…
