I don’t know what happened to Sketchup suddenly is draining my all memory in seconds and CPU is running 100%, I reinstalled the program and I still have this same problem. I’m using Sketchup 2015 PRO, Yosemite. Can anybody help me! ---

Does it happen if you open SketchUp and not do any actions at all? Are any other programs also taking a lot of CPU? ---

No just sketchup, it doesn’t freeze or anything like that I still can work. But also when I open any SKP file I have ruby console error which looks like that: Error: #\ SketchUp:1:in `onOpenModel’ Error: #\ SketchUp:1:in `onOpenModel’ ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/2X/b/b249654e8aac774dcd30e55a772a50f43fe68fc7.png) ---

If you can get your machine to beachball, you can kill it (cmd-option-escape), get a spindump, and look at it like we would to perhaps get a clue as to what’s happening? Logs are written to /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/ and if you’re so inclined (or have a friend that is) you can look at the spindump command in terminal. I glanced at one of mine (Firefox, not SketchUp), observed some PepperFlashPlayer things in there, and threw up in my mouth just a little bit. 😄 -b ---

If there’s an integer overflow that gives a negative number in the control section of a loop, it’s quite easy to end up in an infinite loop that will churn the CPU and bloat memory. If you can figure out which extension is causing the issue, we (or the extension developer) may be able to figure out what’s happening. I’d recommend disabling all of your extensions and then enabling them one at a time until the problem starts occurring again. marc ---

Agree with @Marc - this really sounds like a runaway extension. While re-enabling, I’d start with the ones that do the simplest things, just because they are least likely to be the culprits. ---

I just noticed a similar error popping up in the ruby console. I thought it was my code, so i disabled all extensions and plugins, restarted my computer even, and yet i get the following error popping up in the console whenever i open a new document or existing model. ``` Error: # SketchUp:1:in `onNewModel' ``` Just before i noticed this; i had been playing around with App level observers in my own plugins.

I also renamed: ``` /Users/user/Library/Application\ Support/SketchUp\ 2015/SketchUp/Plugins ``` directory to ‘`~Plugins`’, then restarted Sketchup … A new plugins directory was created with sketchup default contents (4 plugins) and then i opened the Ruby console. then i opened a new document and saw a similar error displayed in the console ---

onNewModel is an AppObserver event. You definitely still have some extension or plugin running that creates an AppObserver (SketchUp does not run any Ruby AppObservers on its own). There is a bug in that AppObserver’s onNewModel callback method. ---

Hi I’ve tried to do what Marc (SketchUp Team Member) suggested but it didn’t help, so I followed official SketchUp repairing steps and that seems to be OK, what I haven’t mentioned: couple days before problem appeared I installed update for 3D Connexion mouse, I’m not 100% sure but that probably was the case of my memory leak. Many thanks for help! Michal ---
