I am experiencing speed issues with 2026.2 when updating the SU model in Layout. Its vey slow to completely update all view ports. The plus in this version is the ability to get back to work with some features before it is finished rendering. Im curious if anyone has insight in to the new vs. classic graphics engine. Ive switched back and forth and dont see or notice any difference. What is the benefit one over the other?
Have you restarted SketchUp/LayOut after making changes to graphics settings? Is your Nvidia driver up to date?
The “Classic” engine is targeted to users whose graphics hardware or software doesn’t support the new engine. Generally the new engine should be at least a tad faster than the old, and with new features like Ambient Occlusion.
