SU Pro 2017 Painfully Slow

[ashwilli93]

Hi, my SU lags really bad and gives a “Not Responding” message everytime I click, move, or do pretty much anything else. My computer is really powerful and can run Lumion at optimal speeds. I’m not quite sure what is wrong.Any ideas? I have Windows 10.

Have you searched the forums?
For example, this may have some bearing.

Selection Tool process is slow, unbearably slow

Up until yesterday SketchUp Pro 2017 was working wonderfully, now it still works great with the exception of one thing: It is impossible to triple-click or double-click select because it takes about 30 seconds for the selection tool to work and highlight the object. It freezes until then. Absolutely every other function works perfectly, it just takes half a minute to select/deselect anything. A group, a face, a line, anything. It is driving me crazy… It is not model specific either, it happens …

Also, your profile needs updating, it says you are running on a Mac.

Sketchup has quite a few known issues around Graphics Adapter selection and Windows 10 updates that can hobble it.

Make sure ‘Use Fast Feedback’ is unticked, as that can potentially cripple it.

[SOLVED] Sketchup 2017 slow after upgrading from 2016 (Nvidia 740M)

Hi guys, I have an Ultrabook with i7-4500U, 8GB ram, SSD 500GB and a Nvidia 740M 2GB. With this setup I can run Sketchup 2016 very, very smooth, but, after upgrading and redone all the configurations about hardware acceleration in nvidia’s panel [1], the 2017 version continues very slow. I think, the 2017 doesn’t recognize my GPU to use hardware acceleration because I don’t have that option anymore [1], but the GPU specs show [2] the minimum to use that feature (and I almos forgot, all my driv…

You could try reinstalling but make sure you use ‘Run as Administrator’ on the installation.

Also, look at the NVidia control panel if you are have that graphics card, and ensure Sketchup is using the NVidia card and not an integrated Intel chipset.

Thanks. I have a Mac as a personal computer but I just started my first job and I have a PC at work. I haven’t had a chance to put in its information yet. I will check out the graphics card tomorrow. I never thought it would be the issue but that makes sense.
