Summary
Hi, I’m running into an issue where changes I make in SketchUp aren’t updating properly in Twinmotion when I refresh the Datasmith file.
When I move objects or change their materials in SketchUp, the updates don’t reflect in Twinmotion after I hit refresh in the Datasmith file.
The only workaround I’ve found is to cut and paste the object in place in SketchUp — after doing that and refreshing the file, the changes finally appear in Twinmotion.
I’ve noticed this only affects previously existing objects. Newly created objects update correctly as expected.
System details:
Twinmotion version: 2025.1.1
SketchUp version: SketchUp 2024
OS: Windows 11
