*NOTE: I have discovered the problem, and it affects more than just Easel. Apple broke WebGL in MacOS 10.15.7 with the latest security update (2021-007). This affects several other applications besides Easel, including Fusion 360. *
If you are designing on a “vintage” Mac (like I am), and what I’ve posted below is happening to you-- good luck. Hopefully enough people will complain to get this fixed without having to do a repair installation.
This is what I got later today after all the trouble I had earlier, which led me to find the source of the problem.
Just sort of spit balling here, but any chance the display settings of the pc have been modified in some odd way? I tried replicating by messing with quite a few graphics options and I can’t replicate the issue
I wish it were something that easy to deal with. This happened suddenly, while I was working on a design in Easel. I thought that maybe it was the project, but this behavior is happening with all my projects. Also, with errors occurring with every browser, my suspicion is that the materials textures are broken. I just don’t know where I could even start to look for that.
I don’t have Catalina installed anymore. But just wanted to let you know that Easel works just fine in Safari and Monterey. You might want to try the Safari Technology Preview which has the latest components available here: (Safari Technology Preview - Safari - Apple Developer)
Also if your machine is capable update it to Monterey.
Unfortunately, Catalina is as far as I can go with this system. The version of SketchUp that I use isn’t supported past this version. I’ll just do a repair install to remove this update.
