Direct Link from VW to Twinmotion Not Working

[marveln22]

I have been having this problem where the direct link will not get recognized in twinmotion. I just had it working earlier today on a different file but it's back to not working. This has been an ongoing issue for the past couple months. Even bought a new computer to try to fix it since I was running an old version of twinmotion assuming that was the issue. I do not want to keep exporting a file because I often make changes to my vectorworks file and it's too tedious exporting, placing materials, etc. for each change. Whereas with direct link it would just update it on the spot. Is this a Sequoia issue or a VW to TM issue?

I tried linking to Twinmotion yesterday for the first time in about two months, and now Vectorworks just freezes. Tried different files but it just makes me force quit.

Don't know if this is at all related but you never know.

Links are buggy in PC environment, too...the link is suddenly lost, materials replaced in the middle of everything and whatnot. Sometimes it works fine.

The Twinmotion linking is not ready for prime time.  We are all just beta testers.  Alternatively, Enscape works pretty nicely on a PC and is setting the standard for how a render plug in should work.

 

If my VWX material has “grass” in the name, it automatically updates to 3D grass.  If I move a tree in VWX or Enscape it will show up where I want it.  No mysterious loss/reset of materials.
