I’m having the same problem and I’ve seen people say it’s because of the internet connection. But I changed my internet connection settings and the problem was not solved, did you get this problem solved? Do you have any solutions?

Send us a screenshot of the “ruby console” (Extensions \> Developer \> Ruby Console) and the UI console (Right Click the White Screen \> Inspect Element \> “Console” Tab - and post the results.

We are also going to be sending an update by the end of the week that will hopefully solve it.

We just pushed the new version: 1.0.4

You can find the latest installer on the website here: [INSTALLER](https://arko.ai/sketchup)

This version has a specific update to try and address the white screen issue.

We are actively working on another solution also, in the case this update does not solve it.

Really glad the latest release solved the blank screen issue for you!

How interesting… a couple notes of advice:

1 - we’ve found that changing shadows / lighting / materials of the scene has been really successful in getting the AI dialed in. We’ll release a tutorial for this soon

2 - we are also currently working on an enhancement that will help give the AI more information about the scene. Stay tuned!

Best,

Seldon
