I found twinmotion and sketch very easy to use with the old connection but since upgraded it is quite frankly impossible for me to use. How can I go back to the old sketch up link which was very straight forward where as the datasmith thing is no use
Materials are missing whole element of the model do not appear I cant up date directly why did you mess with something that worked perfectly and put something in which is not easy or intuitive and is costing me and I,m sure many others valuable time.
I,m not an expert by any description but id id get out some very good rendered models of my architecture now I cannot get any solution that I can use
When we transitioned from our legacy Direct Link plugin to the Datasmith plugins last year, we were able to improve upon the functionality of the legacy plugin using the standardized Datasmith format that is also used by Unreal Engine, such as allowing the use of Direct Link from multiple programs or models simultaneously into a single Twinmotion file, and recently with the addition of allowing the import of IES lights into Twinmotion. The move to Datasmith also fixed a number of bugs that were present in the legacy plugins.
If you're having trouble with the Datasmith workflows from SketchUp, I recommend watching our tutorial video at https://youtu.be/tqGTmEULx_4 which covers the process with SketchUp Pro.
If you want to return to the legacy Direct Link plugin, you can download them from the Twinmotion Datasmith Exporter plugin for SketchUp Pro page where they are listed in the Archived versions section. Please note that these plugins are no longer being supported, so they will not work on Twinmotion 2022.1 or newer or SketchUp 2022 or newer, and some bugs may be present that were fixed in the Datasmith plugin.
