What are the critical hardware elements best to invest in for better and more smooth sketchup modelling?
I am looking to buy a new desktop. The models I have been developing to date have a lot of detail (also have a lot of complex dynamic components) and sometimes can be a challenge to run on my current desktop PC. What spec elements (ie. RAM, video card, processor, etc.) are the most important to run SketchUp smoothly? Is there anything I can do to improve the performance. Some of my models are up to 200MB large. we have now secured a project which has a footprint of 6 x 2 km. We will be designing civil works and staging for it. Judging from previous experience I expect the model will grow to be in excess of 700MB (maybe even 1GB). Do you have any advice in terms of the best hardware spec to ensure the design / modelling is efficient for this size models?
