We are trying to use forge to render 360 view images for furniture models. Unfortunately, we need to use corona plugin for it. But while attaching dll files like we see in documentation - we still see an issue.

And nothing renders, obviously. I include plugin files as described in the docs.

Design Automation will not load interface plugins, i.e. anything with icons, forms, user interactions.
From the output, the CoronaMax2021.dlr is failing to load.
