What need to do if the Skectup model doesn't appear in Twinmotion even after synchronized with Direct Link?

Hi, i am currently using sketchup 2021 and the latest the version of twinmotion. However, i have noticed that after following the steps of syncing the model, the imported model in twinmotion doesnt sync to the view/scene within sketchup..
May i know if it can be done? syncing the camera view of both software at the same time?
Thank you

Is there a way to access "scenes" that I have set up in sketchup once imported into twin motion? I have 10 scenes set up in my sketchup model that I would like to render- any way to get those "scenes" in twin motion so I dont have to set them up again in twin motion?

It works with Sk 2020, not with 2021.Tried various ways. Is it a known issue?

PLEASE fix when you hide something in sketchup with sync active, after when you unhide the same object it lost it's properties inside twinmotion.
If I've already set up a material for a chair inside twinmotion, go to sketchup, hide and then unhide this chair, I'll need to configure the material again!
It's the one thing limiting me from dealing with the structure from inside the sketchup, to hide and unhide objects that affects all of the scenes. It's horrible to have to hide the same object in every damn scene when you have over 20 scenes in a project, so frustrating!

Hi, I have a problem in using the plugin in sketchup 2021.

The Datasmith plugin will not install correctly on my Windows machine. I'm running SketchUp Pro 2020. Just get tons of errors on startup related to the twinmotion plugin. Any ideas on how to fix this? I currently have the directly link plugin installed. -edit- uninstalled all former direct link plugins and tried a clean install multiple times. Cannot get the plug-in toolbar to show up

I use sketchup pro 2020 and it doesn't work

It's not working with Sketchup 2022 on Windows 10. Is there a solution?

[REDCARSCoverband]

but why to do this? what is the benefit compared to the regular import and relocate?

[ChristopherDavies-sxjl]

this just doesn't work easy to follow - other than that the actual extension/plugin doesn't do what he's saying so frustrating
