Problem migrating model from SKU to TM to UE engine question here?

I know this is not the right place and Forum but some of you have kindly helped me before
as the official software TM and UE forums are like a cemetery
over the past years I have made 57 posts and got ZERO reply or help
I know some of you here work with TM to UE so my hopes are up
on finding out what I am doing wrong.

Today I can only see what I presume is the square shape of my model outline
( I added flat terrain to go beyond my loop street layout
BUT I can’t see nothing else

What am I not knowing or doing wrong?

I have looked under the starter ground but nothing there.
When I click within the perimeter of the square it seems it jumps position?
(as per screenshot)
Is it possible that the model hasn’t or can’t load into the viewfinder?

Worked + two years on my SU model
took it to Twinmotion as Fbx
worked nearly half a year to learn TM
to create all the lighting and materials amendments etc.

Today finally seemed to have managed to export the Datasmith
file from TM (took over an hour,)
into a ROOT directory then opened UE 5.4

I must admit I still have tremendous issues understanding
WHERE and which one is the ROOT folder that
TM asks for to export the Datasmith file
(I managed by trying and trying again but really don’t understand
the logic of it’s position..sorry 55+ here)

My SO has managed to upgrade my PC to a second hand 12 GPU graphic card
and direct link to 2TB DDR ram and 258 memory instead of classic hard disc.

Before all this the model imported OK into UE 5.4 once (as per screenshot)
That’s when I found out I need to add all the lights etc and learn TM to an extend
in the past six month

I’ve had more success by importing the sketchup model from an empty TM file than exporting a datasmith file from sketchup and open it with twinmotion.

Hola

Thank you for your reply. I trust you are well.

From SKU I had no issue importing an FBX
It looks VERY good on all aspects water, glass etc in TM.
I made a 4 sec orbit video but it’s too big to upload here

My problem is from TM to UE

Someone noted that my post was “off topic”
I did try to apologize in advance.

I don’t really know how to chose and other correct area of asking for possible help?

Gracias

Have you tried this workflow? Is a video by the people of TM. Its less than a year old so it should work although, recently UE was updated and things can break. Easy enough to try though.
