## **Known Issues**

---

- **SSO Login Prevents Second User from Accessing Enscape on the Same PC:** When multiple users share the same PC, the first user can sign in to Enscape using SSO and access a floating license successfully. However, if a second user switches to the PC and tries to sign in with their own SSO credentials, the sign-in buttons become unresponsive, preventing them from logging in and using Enscape.
- **[SketchUp] Metallic value lost after upgrading projects from SU 2024 to SU 2025:** Metallic setting did not carry over, was lost (both visually and as a value).
- **[SketchUp] Upgrading material with non-existing machine path crashes SU:** Enscape crashes when moving from SketchUp 2024 to 2025 when the material has textures that cannot be found in the user system.
- **[Rhino] Enscape Does Not Start If Documents Folder Is Inaccessible In Rhino:** Enscape does not start and no error message is displayed.
