Layout keeps crashing. Any time I make a double click on a text or any other move that seems more than normal… The program is so fragile at the moment. Working with it is not possible. Is there anything I can do? Does anyone have the same problem? ---

Exactly what version of LayOut and what version of OS X are you using? You can see the full version number for LayOut in LayOut-\>“About LayOut”. -m ---

LayOut 16.0 was released before Sierra, so there are some serious issues - particularly with text editing. Installing a newer copy of LayOut will fix the problem. Here’s a link to all of the available download versions: [http://www.sketchup.com/download/all](http://www.sketchup.com/download/all) Here’s a thread (somewhat outdated) with some more details: > [@SketchUp and macOS Sierra](https://forums.sketchup.com/t/sketchup-and-macos-sierra/26490): > > Hi all~ Edit 10/3/2016: We have released SketchUp 2016M2 to address the worst of the issues on Sierra. Just a reminder that the newly announced (and not yet released) macOS Sierra is not officially supported by SketchUp - if you’re a person who loves to install beta software versions, be aware that SketchUp may exhibit all sorts of unwanted behavior. I ALWAYS recommend installing beta OS versions on separate partitions or removable drives so that you can revert to a known-good OS as necessary… ---

Hey Marc, i don´t quite get where exactly I can update layout. the link links to several sketchup versions including sketchup 2017. Will i have to download that? Do I need to purchase something or is the update free. Does 17 support sierra? Best regards Maik ---

You can continue using 2016 if you want, but you could update to 2017 if you paid for maintenance & support. Here’s a direct link to the German, Mac version of SketchUp 2016: [http://dl.trimble.com/sketchup/2016/de/SketchUpPro-2016-1-2418-80527-de.dmg](http://dl.trimble.com/sketchup/2016/de/SketchUpPro-2016-1-2418-80527-de.dmg) ---

Thank you Marc, that totally solved it. I downloaded sketchup 16, installed it . Got a newer version of layout and now layout works very stabil. No bugsplash so far. Thanks for your effort. Best regards Maik
