I have just updated to 2025 version of layout and it freezes every time I try to Hybrid. I’m working on a simple floor plan with a few 3d warehouse items in there. It also freezes on other simple operations like changing line thickness and removing background etc. I’m on a Mac and have recently upgraded the operating system to the latest version. My activity monitor says Layout’s energy impact is 4,500 whereas Sketchup is only 0.5. Not sure if this is relevant… Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Need help
Define “simple”. Define “a few”. See what the ModelInfo>Statistics window says when the “Show nested components” box is ticked. If the edge/face count is in the millions, there is no way you can use Vector or Hybrid rendering in LayOut. If you absolutely need that kind of output, keep your viewports at Raster and use the Output Override, and wait.
I have the exact same issue, before the update no problems and now I can’t get any dimension in, the first point sure then wait 2 minutes and just hope you haven’t moved your mouse - completely unworkable.
I have gtx 4080 super, Processor Intel(R) Core™ i7-14700KF, 3400 Mhz, 20 Core(s), 28 Logical Processor(s), Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 128 GB
I don’t know what to do, I’m unable to do my job like this, should I downgrade or am I overlooking something?
Update of what? SketchUp/LayOut? Or a Windows update?
Share the LO file so we can see if there’s something else you can do.
I’m having the same problem with LO 24. It stops responding doing anything. I have Sketchup Studio and I’m very disappointed with this issue. I’ve yet to see any indication that Trimble is even working on the issues posted here. Did I miss something?
There are things that can be done to improve this. Share your LO file so we can see what you’ve got set up.
Please also update your forum profile. It says you are using “Free Plan” SketchUp 2017.
Since you have SketchUp 2024 you must have a current subscription. You could update to SketchUp/LayOut 2025. There have been some speed improvements in LayOut 2025.
I think I got the profile updated.
Looks like it. Probably the Save button at the bottom was the problem earlier?
So back to your issue of LayOut freezing. Share the LO file so we can see what you’ve got and give you some ideas to deal with the slow performance.
Unfortunately, I’m doing a patent application images and can’t share the LO file. I will try to recreate the problem with a previous file.
You could share your file privately. I won’t share it with anyone else.
