Hello, I would like to explore few combinations of lighting scenarios.
Is there any way to clone my project so I don’t have to start anew everytime?
Hello. The scenes are stored in C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\Documents\Shapespark, you can make copies of the scene that you are working on to explore different combinations.

I haven’t tried this, but if you duplicate a project and re-name it will that cause a material link conflict?
From my experience, I can say that this is not a problem. I duplicated a whole scene to have 2 different facade versions. After that, I renamed one of the folders and during the export process, I updated that scene by just writing the new name of the scene folder in the scene name field in the export dialog.

Tim is right, there is no hard link between a SketchUp file and a Shapespark scene, during the update from SketchUp you can enter a different scene name and it will work correctly.

@jan I have duplicated a scene in the documents / shapespark folder (The same folder I transfer to and from when baking a scene on a separate workstation which works fine in terms of export / update) but it does not show up as a scene in Shapespark for me to be able to edit. Is this no longer possible?
I have an uploaded scene which I have now made significant changes to, but I don’t want it uploaded live on the currently link and need to keep the original live for those who have the existing link and want the currently uploaded scene useable / intact in case I suffer performance issues due to increase geometry and textures in my updates.
Can you advise on what I may do to duplicate a scene / project successfully.
Thanks as ever!
Njay
Please check if your new scene name follows the naming rules from this post: Cloned project locally but not showing in editor - #2 by wojtek
