Known Issues

If there are any known issues in this release of engon they'll appear here.

Geometry nodes assets don't work correctly in 3.6.8 to 3.6.X

This is due to a versioning bug in a Blender. The Transfer Attribute from the source data in 3.3.2 node doesn't get replaced by its successor - one of the Sample nodes. You can use other Blender version or replace the Transfer Attribute node manually.

For additional information regarding this issue, see Blender issue tracker

Asset previews stop loading when asset packs are on cloud storage

Sometimes, especially when having engon asset packs installed on cloud storage such as Google Drive or OneDrive, previews stop working or take an extremely long time to load.

To fix the issue, navigate to engon browser preferences (top right corner wrench icon) and click Reload Previews button. This will remove cached previews that failed to load and it tries to load the previews again.

Why this happens?

The images tried to load from the disk, but for any reason the loading failed. Blender then creates a broken, empty thumbnail in ~/.thumbnails/fails/blender and uses it until the original preview file is modified (e. g. you re-install the pack, or change the path to the previews).

Previews still won't load

Usually even if previews appear stuck, they will load all at once after some delay. If previews don't load at all, restarting Blender will help.

Some users report that marking the preview files as Available Offline helps mitigate this issue. Please refer to the documentation pages for your respective cloud storage to learn how to enable this feature: you can visit this link for Google Drive and this link for Microsoft OneDrive.

License plates UI might not work correctly

When converting cars with license plates to editable Blender interprets booleans on the license plate modifier as integer values. This can result in the license plates modifier showing Property type does not match input socket (NAME), messages in the console and engon license plates user interface not showing fully.

To resolve, locate the license plate objects tq_CAR_NAME_License-Plate_, go to modifiers, and reassign the geometry nodes node group for the tq_License-Plate modifier.

Draw Geometry Nodes tool can not be canceled when used from engon browser in a separate window

When the Draw Geometry Nodes is started from engon browser in a separate window, ESC key is not correctly registered and does not close the tool. There are several options on how to close the tool:

  • press ESC while hovering mouse over the engon browser window;
  • switch object interaction mode of the affected area to Object Mode;
  • or close the engon browser window.
