I have been experiencing a bug when batch rendering on Sketchup. The software resets/changes camera position when batch rendering scenes.
Camera settings are ok. Double checked.
When rendering individual scenes in Sketchup, it runs smoothly. Even when I ran individual (render is perfect), then batch (bug, camera zooms out), then individual (render is perfect again), then batch (bug, camera zooms out). So the problem seems to be attached to the batch function.
I have attached screenshots so you can check it for yourself.
I have read several other threads complaining of the same bug, and the solutions provided there (install latest version of Sketchup, or preview version) still won’t fix the issue for me. I have even installed Sketchup on a fresh new Windows PC, and the results ar the same.
My project is designed for 100+ scenes, so individual render will be a tough pill to swallow.
Please, have anyone encountered the very same problem/found a fix?
Would love if this issue was addressed. . I am noticing the same issue using enscape with sketchup. It makes rendering views on a larger project incredibly time consuming and we question at our office if its worth using enscape at all.
Welcome to our Forum @lwhite - due to technical reasons it is I’m afraid not possible to keep View Synchronization enabled during batch rendering.
In this case we advice disabling View Synchronization entirely and creating your scenes/views via Enscape itself. I’m aware that you will likely have existing SketchUp scenes that have been created using SketchUp while View Synchronization was enabled, but if it’s possible for you to re-create them you’ll also be able to use of batch renderings without any perspective shifts or such thereafter. You can continue to make use of SketchUp’s scene selection in combination with Enscape’s View Management (Hotkey: F), but it is also possible to just navigate between scenes/views (or create them) using Enscape alone.
Entirely optional: You can also make use of SketchUp viewport resizing plugin that can be acquired here. This allows you to for example set your SketchUp viewport to the aspect ratio and size of Full HD (1080p) while the same has been setup for Enscape (via Visual Settings → Output) which can help with further aligning if required. You’ll notice that the renderings will not overlap 100% over the scene output visible in SketchUp, but they should remain similar enough so that it doesn’t cause any problems.
Keep in mind that you can also link any of your existing Visual Settings presets to each view if that is of desire before batch rendering, click here to read more about that in case you haven’t already.
Should this create any issues for you which I’m missing, kindly let me know, or in general if you have any further questions what so ever.
Is there any plan to address this issue? This seems like a very common problem and requires either tedious single image export or duplicate view management with manually applied presets in enscape.
Iʻm just starting with Enscape using Archicad. The native synced views support was a major plus for Enscape and now I realize I need to do so much more work to make it work.
