There is no excuse for letting you paying customers discovering crash bugs. It is unprofessional. I just paid for the Pro version and it one of the most brittle, most poorly engineered pieces of software I have aver tried. Now I’ve sunk so much time into this that it’s very expensive to switch. I would definitely warn off potential new customers though. If you need to rely on your 3D modeller, look elsewhere.
yeah, no doubt, with that attitude, it’s really making everyone on this forum want to help you.
ever heard on not being a callous individual on forums ? You should check it out. It is all the rage. 
one more person for the ignore list. if they ever come again.
Looking at their username I would guess this is someone who has created an alias account , probably on a burner email just so they can direct their vitriol at a single member of the SketchUp team.

This update for Mac OS that broke this came out AFTER that version of SketchUp was released…
Some amazing crystal ball action is required to have downloaded a developer preview of a version of Mac OS that wasn’t available to developers.

Pretty sure I was running Sonoma before 2023 was last updated. The problem this time around was that the crashing didn’t start to happen to everyone until 14.3 was released. If I had been allowed to write that 2023.1.3 had been tested and was working ok in Sonoma, I would have been proved wrong by Apple a little while later!
I updated to Sonoma 14.4. and I have no more issues.
Hope, that’s it!
Gracias por avisar. Actualizado y comprobado, ya no se produce el problema. Muchas gracias.
Yup, that seems to have fixed it for me too!
Just when I thought I’m now really stuck without being able to finish my current model, ready for Layout, and I was going to have to wait for SketchUp 2024 to be released (that could be any time before August, the way Trimble are behaving!)
confirmed that 14.4 fixes it for me as well! hope your guys fix doesnt mess it up again lol
So . . . bottom line question for me is: Is it safe to upgrade to Sonoma now? I’ve been laying back and taking my time with on Monterey for now, but it SketchUp is all good on Sonoma, I can finally move to Apple silicon with M3. (I assume anything you walk into an Apple store today and buy will have Sonoma as a minimum system install.)
If you’re still using sketchup 2022, you shouldn’t upgrade to Sonoma, I think that the materials issue was still present on any sketchup version except for 2023.
True. I guess the companion question is if it’s safe to upgrade from SU 22 to 23 as well.
The past several years, I’ve been buying the trailing edge with computers by cherry picking either new/old stock, refurb’s or used machines. Other complications are that I’m still using a permanent V-Ray 5 license, and that won’t use the new GPU’s unless I upgrade that as well, which is also subscription only now.
I think you can upgrade from vray 5 to 6 if you have a permanent license just paying a fee without having to get a subscription license.
on mac 23 is fine, the iconography change is pretty much the only major change between 22 and 23.1
most issues were on PC due to the QT migration and all that came with.
so yes, since sonoma 14.4 fixes the problem, upgrading both to a M3 with sonoma and 23.1 is about ok right now.
but what if sonoma 14.5 breaks something again ? back to waiting for a fix. SInce 23 will never be updated again, I would wait for 24 to be released : that double the chances of getting a fix (apple + trimble) in case of a new issue.

Hi @colin is SketchUp 2024 bug free as far as the materials-bug goes?
yes.
23 was already since the 14.4 sonoma update.
24 was made with the problem internally fixed, just in case apple changes their mind again.
