Moving Enscape file (and proxies) to new computer

I’m about to start teaching Enscape (with SketchUp) in our Interior Design program at Bellevue College. Students will be constantly moving their projects back and forth between their home and school computers. I’m unclear about how this would work with proxies. Would the student need to somehow “relink” to the proxy component files to get Enscape to recognize them?

Thanks!

I requested the ability to relink before. Currently it seems the path to the proxy model is hardlinked. If you change the path or file name the proxy won’t work. It would be nice to have a way to manually change the path or to have a relative path.

I’d appreciate a reply from someone at Enscape. Is this really true that currently there is not way to transfer files with proxies from one computer to another?

Only way I got this to work is to make sure you use the same file path on different computers. So for example c:\proxy\

I would like an easier way as well. Today I had to redo a lot of proxies because I wanted to store them in a different location.

Hey @dldieterich2 , what @annevanzwol stated is in fact correct, but there is a dedicated feature request on our agenda to allow you to package proxies together with project files and a further feature request to allow you to use relative paths for proxies, textures, sound sources instead of absolute paths.

I can gladly upvote both of these topics on your behalf, otherwise, do you prefer one of the other? :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot in advance.

Add my vote for relative paths!

Thanks! Not sure which I’d prefer in my actual practice…either would be a huge improvement!

Sure! Thanks a lot for your feedback. :slight_smile:

Happily added a corresponding upvote to each topic! :wink:

omg WOW we absolutely need relative paths asap guys :slight_smile: i have converted severeal trees in the last hours just to found that damn.. i need to do it again and place them in a proper library path together with the maps and their path :slight_smile: hehe..

please give this a double upvote guys!

that would be the best. Normally, I put all the proxy on my google drive (with exact same path between 2 pcs). So everything I do in the office, I can have it at home too.

I would like to see this feature added as well.

Upvote from me also

Added all your votes, thanks! :wink:

+1. Looking for this feature.

Added!

Surprised relative paths for assets hasn’t been implemented yet. Absolutely adding my support here.

It’s basically only a matter of time until this is going to be implemented. I can understand that this missing feature can be frustrating, so thank you all for a bit more patience in that regard!

I hear it won’t make the 2.6 GM release … kind of surprising to me

+1 to this

Adding your upvotes - thanks!
