If you need more than one Direct Link to the same design application, you must open a separate instance of the application for each Direct Link. You can create one Direct Link to each design application.
The time required for the synchronization process varies depending on the amount and complexity of the data that is being synchronized.Ī Twinmotion project can have Direct Links to multiple design applications at the same time. The filename of the scene from your design application appears in the Direct Link settings source field. In the Import window, select the Direct Link tab. In the Import dock, click the Import icon. In Twinmotion, open the Import dock by clicking Import in the Footer.
In your design application, open the scene that you want to use to set up a Datasmith Direct Link. Install the plugin for your design application.įor information on how to install the Datasmith Exporter plugin for Archicad, Revit, Rhino, or SketchUp Pro refer to: The plugins can be downloaded from the Twinmotion website, from the Supported Design Applications for Datasmith documentation page, or from your design application's website. As temporary folders are sometimes deleted by the operating system, the Direct Link connection might not be able to locate the textures the next time you open the file if you save them in a temporary folder.ĭownload the Datasmith Exporter plugin for your design application. When you disable this feature, the textures are saved in a temporary folder, instead of the dedicated DirectLinkTextures folder. For more information, refer to Setting Up Multiple Direct Links.ĭisabling this feature can be useful if, for example, you want to do a quick one-off Direct Link connection for testing purposes only and don't need to save textures for future referencing. Multiple Direct Links can be created, allowing you to import and mix and match files from different applications into one Twinmotion project. Otherwise, syncing is a one-click operation.
If your design application supports the Direct Link Auto Sync feature, syncing is automatic. Any changes you make to a project in your design application are synchronized and reflected in your Twinmotion project. You can use the Datasmith Direct Link workflow to import 3D scenes and assets from your design application into Twinmotion in a way that retains group hierarchy and organization, components, objects, and materials.Īfter you install the Datasmith Exporter plugin in your design application, you can use the Direct Link functionality to import your content into Twinmotion and synchronize files between your design application and Twinmotion. For more information on design applications that support Datasmith, and where to download the plugins, refer to Supported Design Applications for Datasmith. To use this workflow, you must install the Datasmith Exporter plugin for your design application.
