Vectorworks crashes when attempting Direct Link to Twinmotion

[Chuck Davidson]

Hi all;

 

I'm getting crashes when I attempt to Direct Link to Twinmotion.

I had linked last Friday successfully. But this morning the link wouldn't take and VW crashed.

And it crashed a lot earlier in the week.

 

Here's what I'm running:

 

2019 16" Macbook Pro,

32 GB Memory, 2.3 GHz, 8 Core Intel Core i9

AMD Radion Pro 5500M 8GB

Mac OS 12.4

 

VW Architect 2022

Twinmotion 2022

 

Working off Google Drive 

 

I'm wondering if Google Drive throughput is an issue.

 

Thanks,

 

Chuck

I tested it yesterday, but on Windows 11 and it worked.

(I do not use any Google drives or Apps)

Maybe I'll manage to try on my M1 Mini again.

I tried and it works for me on M1 Mini 16 GB on macOS 13 Ventura Public Beta

with VW 2022 SP4.

I have a live link, not crashing, immediately showing my geometry changes.

But I do not know how to synchronize my VW view - if there ever is a way

to do so, or Enscape only ....

I got a functional link yesterday, but this morning it's broken.

Pretty typical. I tried working off my HD with both files stored locally on said HD.

But the Direct Link tool reached into Google Drive to place the file.

The Twinmotion file then reached into google Drive as well and made the link.

 

It seems that the software gets a path and sticks to it, and there's apparently no option to choose or create a new filepath.

I am not sure as I tested too much different things ....

(I start to mix up Windows and Mac, Enscape and TM, Vectorworks and Bricscad, ...)

 

But doesn't Direct Link will ask where to put the Datasmith File ?

I thought it would do so for me.

But maybe the Direct Link information is not user controllable.

But TM found my Link ....
