Been using SketchUp and LayOut for the last 3 or 4 years or so. Sketchup runs great for the most part, but its getting to the point where LayOut is unusable due to its slow speed and response time. For instance, simply rotating an object has a lag of about 2-3 seconds. I built a computer specifical…

HOW TO MAKE LAYOUT FASTER: I’m running into this layout speed thing again… I have a fast computer setup, it’s not totally top of the line, but it’s 48gb ram, radeon rx 580 graphics, 2 nocturo cooling fans (not water cooled), a 8700 coffee lake cpu running at 5ghz. I know I have a good setup, I’ll b…

It does already work that way. You can also turn off the auto render to avoid accidental refreshes, or even lock the viewport.

I know…But when you, for example ‘explode’ a section cut (so there’s no direct to the SU-model anymore) LO becomes super snappy. Maybe you should try it and see the difference for yourself. Complex plans I always explode because only then LO is useable for me. :pensive:

Hi Paul, thanks for helping me, but I’m afraid you can’t as long as you can’t compare it with my setup. And maybe you can live with a bit of slugginess…what is acceptable to you doesn’t have to be acceptable for me (on my setup). And I am most definitely sure that the documents I work with are as sl…

I agree. Using layout for large projects is incredibly inefficient. You’ll end up spending half your time waiting than actual work. Every time i use it i end up googling how awful the experience is in one way or another and end up reading through posts like these while waiting… In fact it’s why i…

This is awesome, i’m going to post a question there. I did one of his workshops at Basecamp 2016…THAT’s the guy to ask. Side note: During the workshop we didn’t get super far because of several laptops crashing when trying to work in layout :man_facepalming:t2: Edit: That workshop was 2018, not 20…

I’m working on my presentation this weekend, so the more input before the better. I’m currently running 6 new projects so I’ll probably pick one in the early stages to show the design process. Then, I’ll focus on the opposite end of detailing in construction documents. There’s a lot to pack in so…

What is the native resolution (ppi) for Layout ?? That’s half the problem with the program…I can’t seem to figure out what the BEST ppi is for Layout. That and the laggy performance even with all the “tweaks” down to the settings etc… My computers (MACS) keep getting faster…Layout is getting wors…

I found this quote from Marc, from 6 years ago: “Roughly speaking, Low = 96, Medium = 150, High = 300” I tested something, and it seems that setting the Display resolution to Low does help Raster models quite a bit, but doesn’t affect Vector render mode viewports. Although you are warned that Vecto…

LayOut

Note that there is this talk from Nick Sonder, who is known for doing complex LayOut. You could add to the questions to ask how he manages to get better performance from LayOut. medeek and Julian have already added questions that will be interesting to hear what he says.
