Every time I try to move my model viewport in LO the program freezes and won’t respond. I am using a template sent to me by my firm. I am the only seeming to have issues with this, so upgraded my computer but am still having issues. My gut tells me it is something to do with the template file and the misssing refrences, but I am not sure. Any thoughts?
Things I have already tried:
-unclicking “auto” Raster in viewport
-Cleaning up reference links
-Removing heavy objects (i.e. plants & furniture) from model
I would expect the problem is related to the detailed plants in the model and your graphics card.
I’m not having any problem moving or resizing the viewports in your file.
You say LO crashes. Are you getting Bug Splats and are you sending them in with something to identify they came from you?
I looked at the SketchUp file related to these viewports. Fixed the the incorrect tag usage (likely related to imported components).
I also purged unused stuff from the model.
And, as well, I reduced some excessively sized texture images. No reason to have high res texture images for leaves on plants. That reduced the file size of that SketchUp model by about 34%.
what graphics card/laptop would you reccomend? I just upgraded my laptop last week.
I wondered about the plants too, so I tried it without the plants in the SU model but had similar issues.
I wasn’t getting bugsplats. As I worked in the file and started moving and resizing the viewports it would get slower and then eventually freeze and lockup.
Thank you so much for your time on this. It is very helpful. I apreciate the knowledge you have shared.
Youre profile indicates you have a graphics card from Nvidia which should be good. Make sure SketchUp is using that card. Also make sure you have the current graphics drivers from Nvidia, not the ones that get installed in automatic Windows updates.
Keeping your SketchUp models clean and light goes a long way to making your work in both SketchUp and LayOut easier.
