File Path Management

hi there :)

from a administration point of view it would be helpful to have a section may be in the general settings window where i can put all enscape relatet paths at once for the materials and the two for the custom assets. (as a second option, the path setting could/should stay also in the material and custom asset windows)

this will makes it much more easier to setup multiple workstations and explain users how to set the importants paths propperly.

thanks a lot!

Interior lighting is always the most difficult to model correctly for accurate renders. Being able to keep model info light and link IES profiles would be a major step forward in getting better project representations even early in a project. We u...

We urgently need a folder path selector and a pack all textures function. Collect all textures to one folder and control where this folder is. Thanks

PROXY RELINKER Would be very convenient. By pressing a "update the link", this would automatically relink all of your proxy used in the project. Currently, everytime you copy/paste the project files to another computer, it delete the links of your...

Only being able to have things link to a shared folder, and not having dynamic linking, or archival ability regularly makes me want to leave the platform

Moving from Revit to Sketchup to render it in enscape is painful. I export from Revit using Simlab exporter to .skp then reload the model file in sketchup. Reloading the file breaks all the enscape material data. Having some way to link material n...

Revit. Specifically a better workflow for preserving materials when working with BIM360 Design collaborate models. Ideally, all materials would be saved in the cloud with the model so you never have to relink.

we are using rhino 7 generally we store "all in one place" but sometimes textures were not stored properly and sometimes the enscape material path after an update is reseted and after that materials paths went wrong.

most textures are stored in a shared office folder, other wise there are also a lot stored in project folders. when they were moved to an archive subfolder all these links are gone. this feature will help a lot!
