Hello there,

I've just updated my V4 License to 2021 annual plan, and installed Octane 2021.1.4 and SU plugin 2021.1.4 as well.
I run Windows 11, Sketchup 2020 and one RTX A2000.

However, I'm pretty lost into the new SU plugin layout.

I understand now that you have a Render Viewport and Asset Center.

However, it seems there is no option to access my LocalDB ?

In fact, is it possible configure the Render viewport layout as it used to be ? (Assets & LocalDB on the left, node inspector on the right, viewport in the center) ?
Win 10 / XMG Core 14 / dGPU GTX 1650 + eGPU RTX 2070 Super / Octane for Sketchup

Hi aquelito,

Thanks for your feedback.

The new SU is completely rewritten. And we do need to use the Asset center to control the Octane nodes and shaders.
Yes, Live and LocalDB are planned for the future release.
As a workaround please drag and drop the LocalDB ORBX file in the node editor and connect to the existing Out node.

If you need to download LiveDB shaders then please use the link below as liveDB alternative:
