Hi, I would like to comment on my recent issues using Enscape.
I noticed that I could not see the materials library in the icons. I’m using a Mac laptop and SketchUp as a modeling program. I already uninstalled the render program and downloaded it again but the issue remains. I don’t know what the problem is so if anyone could help me I’ll be appreciated it.
Welcome to our Forum @MatiasDeFarina ,
I’m afraid, the material library is not yet available in Enscape for Mac - We’re currently working on feature parity though and will provide it as soon as we can, so stay tuned for future updates.
If any further inquiries come up, please let me know anytime!
If the material library is not available are you limited to the textures only presented in sketchup? I see other Mac users creating very nice renders that are not possible with the sketchup textures that I currently have. I’m spending too much much time trying to present a stucco wall with block wainscoting. Do you have any advice for introducing these materials without Escapes online material library? And if I create it can use it again in the future on another project or would I modify the sketchup materials again? Thank you
@robertdolson please have a look at Enscape + Sketchup knowledge base article where we show how to setup materials:

You can use full featured quality materials in Enscape for Sketchup even without material library by manually creating them.
Hello @robertdolson , and thank you for your inquiry.
You can still create complex materials using the Material Editor as detailed here in our dedicated knowledgebase article:

Feel free to also check out this blog post here if you wish to acquire some high quality textures that should allow you to create the materials you like to see in your projects. In the future you can also import/export those created materials, further detailed in the linked knowledgebase article above too.
I hope this helps!
Please please please prioritize adding the material library! It’s very cumbersome to load external textures, diff maps, etc when trying out different materials.
@michaeloren please have a look at the latest preview released yesterday - it has material library included. If you are OK with using beta version, this is the way to get it until stable release arrives.
