Anssi,
Thanks for your response. At the time there were no new graphics drivers. However, there is now one released for the Fall Creators Update. I did just install it. It does not fix the problem.
To be sure, I uninstalled Sketchup Make 2017 and reinstalled it. First I deleted AppData\Roaming\Sketchup/Sketchup 2017 to be sure it was a clean install.
It still does not work. After pressing “Start using SketchUp”, there is a busy cursor for a few seconds, then nothing. I no longer get a Bug Splat dialog.
Since my last post, I have installed SketchUp Make 2016 using an installer I had archived. It works OK. Other OpenGL programs, such as Google Earth also work fine.
I have tried SketchUp Free and find it doesn’t allow extensions, doesn’t support the 3D mouse, and (from other reports) has slow performance. It is a real downgrade.
So I guess I’ll use SketchUp 2016 ongoing. For my needs it does not make sense to get the full version (which may have the same problem).
There is an active forum topic on “What’s up with SketchUp Make”, so there is no need to discuss Trimble’s dropping support for Make further here.
