Hi @marcogastali ,

This is an Internet Explorer issue. SketchUp extensions must use Internet Explorer on Windows to display the user interface.

Try this:

  • Open Internet Explorer, click the Tools button , and then click Internet options.
  • On the Security tab, click Custom level, and then under ActiveX controls and plug-ins, change settings like in the attached image.

This is an issue with Enscape. Here is a workaround until they fix it:

With a text editor (like Notepad), open:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Enscape\Enscape.config

Set
<ShowFirstStepsWindow>true</ShowFirstStepsWindow>

To
<ShowFirstStepsWindow>false</ShowFirstStepsWindow>
