Today (September 30th) is the launch day for El Capitan (OS X 10.11) which is a free upgrade for most Mac users. You may be tempted to jump out there and get it, there are reported performance enhancements and it’ll make your Mac work better with your iWatch. I’m here to say… step back, take a deep …

If you do happen to like living on the edge, Apple just put out the first beta of 10.11.1. SketchUp and Layout continue to seem to work well. But, I don’t make my living using SketchUp, maybe I wouldn’t be so brave if I did!

Have you checked on the two bugs they listed? [image] jody: presentations in LayOut aren’t working and importing SketchUp files into LayOut takes longer than expected I could probably live without presentation mode, and a little time isn’t a big deal, but I was wondering if they were still p…

We haven’t tried it on 10.11.1… we’re not that fast. The 2 known issues we have are what’s present in the most recent (Gold Candidate) build of El Capitan. The a month ago I would have thrown out every red flag because we were getting file open and crash type problems but I think that’s all been dia…

Under 10.11.1, inserting a large SKP into Layout seems pretty instant. I haven’t tried Presentation before, I couldn’t see how you exit the presentation, so I used control-arrow to exit that Space. Going back I found there was a white empty dialog box showing. I had to force quit to get out of Layou…

Hmm, you should have just been able to press escape when you wanted to exit presentation mode. Honestly though, I would typically move the Layout docs into Keynote for a presentation anyway, I only used it as a fast way to go full screen when I needed to show someone something quickly at my desk.

The Presentation issue is specifically that you can’t escape out if the Notation tool was used. Presumably without the Notation tool you can escape normally. I’m glad to hear that there aren’t any issues with the file import in 10.11.1. I’ll presume @Marc is already or will be shortly be downloadin…

That makes sense. Not having used presentation before I thought I was going to be able to orbit the model, but instead red lines appeared.

Ok, there are a couple other issues I didn’t know about that do exist… I’ll add them to my first post as well, but state them here for clarity. Exporting to some formats takes longer in El Cap than they did in Yosemite (eg. 3DS, OBJ) The 2nd time you save a file in SketchUp or LayOut it looks like…

Loosely related… I’m trying to use the viewer on iOS 9.0.2 and it now crashes almost immediately. I’ve been using the viewer on my iPad Air 2 since Dropbox support was added. It had been working fine.
