On each OS I have the same software and get the same error message from the datasmith plugin. I cannot live link SketchUp with twinmotion.

Hello ,

Thank you for posting in the community and sorry to hear about the troubles.

You will need to have SketchUp and Twinmotion open at the same time before trying to make a Direct-Link work. Then establish a direct-link in Twinmotion from the import menu, and then you can go back to SkecthUp to press the Synchronize or Auto Synchronize icon.

Here is a link to the getting started video:

Hi Vincent

I found a youtube video that explains the use of the plug-in.

From the documentation available it was not logical to figure out that one needs to connect Twinmotion first to an open file in SketchUp.

Maybe this could be added more ?
