Twin Motion import sketchup not worling in recent 2026.1 updated version

I used to import part od a model to update a scene, work in progress - always fine! I moved to version 2026.1 and it wont import in same spot anymore. Model is destroyed and far away - not even visible - I never changed geolocation or else. What is going on - what happened with this version - what is the workaround this issue

2026.1 changed datasmith import — now it respects geolocation/origin differently.

workaround: before exporting from SketchUp, reset your model origin to axes at 0,0,0 and disable geolocation in Model Info. then in Twinmotion use Replace and re-trigger import at same origin. if still offset, do File > Geo Location > Set Custom Location with your old values — 2026.1 tries to auto geolocate from project info and shifts everything.
