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?
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?
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?
omg WOW we absolutely need relative paths asap guys 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 hehe..
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.
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!
