      Hello all

      I have recently updated my SketchUp to 2021, and there seems like a lot of issues. The main two for me are:

      AmbientOcclusion pro doesn't work on 2021? it says to go to the website for updates, but I can't see anything on there?

      Also the 3Dconnexion wireless cad mouse I recent bought doesn't work with the USB receiver unless I use it in Bluetooth, but I can't use any of the extra buttons.

      It is very annoying as I recently have only purchased both and now they don't work.

      Does anyone have ideas?

      Thank you

        Your issues are really with the AO extension the 3D Connexion drivers.

        It isn't uncommon for extensions to require updates when new versions of SketchUp are released. If the authors of the extensions are still supporting them, they generally get the updates out as fast as they can.

        Be patient. The 3D Connexion people have to update their drivers to work with SU2021. They have to do this with every release of a new version of a program they support. They have said publicly that they have been working on new drivers and expect to release an update soon.

        As for AO, contact the author and see if they are working on an update. Did you actually try the existing version of were you just looking at its listed compatibility?

        While you're here, maybe you could update your profile. Like the 3D Connexion drivers it's out of date. πŸ˜‰

          Thanks for the speedy reply Dave.

          yes i have tired to use AO, i purchased it few months back which is really annoying i maybe should have just gone Vray straight away. AO is so simple to use, couple of clicks and you get a decent looking design.

          Thanks for the information on the mouse, i am not used to this clunky update process as i am predominately a AutoCAD user πŸ˜‰

          and regards to my profile, ok no problems.

          thanks

              It's not uncommon for third party extension and application makers to update their products for a new version of software. It's different when all of that stuff comes from in house because it is typically all updated before the release.

              For future updates you might consider waiting a couple of weeks to allow those third parties to test and issue their updates.

              FWIW, if you haven't already done so, you should install the SCF Extension (go to Resources at the top of the forum page and click on Plugin Store Download, download the extension and install it via Install Extension in the Extension Manager.) Then use it to install extensions that you get from Sketchucation. It will help you ensure you have the most recent versions of your extensions installed and it'll keep a list (bundle) of those extensions so you can install them automatically if you move to a new computer or when you update to the next version of SketchUp.

                And there you go. While I was typing Alberto posted that AO was updated yesterday.
