I am and architect and have been using Sketchup for many years now. I am having a cursor problem where everything freezes for about 10-15 seconds whenever I click on the cursor to select an object in my drawing. All other features work fine.
This problem has been here for a couple of weeks now and it started just like that. I have deleted Skecthup Make and reinstalled it just recently but the problem persisted. I have also updated Windows 10 thinking that the problem may be generated by the OS but nothing has changed.
It could be a now-well-known issue with Windows 10 updates messing with your graphics drivers. Search this forum and you will find numerous threads about it, some with specific recommendations of driver versions for particular graphics cards. For example
Have you installed any new SketchUp extensions recently? Another possibility is that there is a bug or a conflict in an extension.
I haven’t been able to register for the extensions. I have 4 extensions waiting to be installed. Anything I can do to fix this problem on Sketchup Make?
See @slbaumgartner’s post. He share a link to a thread that addresses the issue you described. There’s a script that can be run with SU2018 to fix the Select tool lag.
Since you are using SketchUp in your practice as an architect, you need to be using SketchUp Pro and since SU2018 is the current version, get it and run the script.
Hi. Just downloaded SU Pro 2018 Trial Version to try and fix the select function time lag issue prior to purchasing it. How can I fix the problem? I tried to open a zip file from the link you put in there but led nowhere. Any suggestions?
I’m not sure what you mean by this. The link should lead to a download of a zip file. Unzip that file to get its contents, which is a .bat file. Run that .bat file to apply the patch.
This is what happens: I unzip the files. I click on run the .bat file. I receive a computer harm warning but I run the file anyway. Then the page disappears and can’t find it anywhere.
