Rendering issues with "New Graphics Engine"

Technical Problems SketchUp

I’ve been having issues in the last month or so with a few things.

  1. Any SketchUp file is taking almost a full minute to open. This is regardless of the file size.
  2. Turning on “Shadows” makes the entire model turn black.
  3. Using the “New Graphics Engine” results in a broken render of the model but if I use the old engine then I have the shadows issue and lose the Ambient Occlusion doesn’t work either.

Have you tried a cold reboot of your computer. Once in a while I see weird graphics with the new graphics engine but a cold reboot of the computer seems to fix it. Simply killing all SketchUp-related processes and reopening SketchUp doesn’t seem to have any impact but a cold reboot does. I just did that a moment ago. I should probably shut down my computer more often than I do.

Can you share the SKP file here?

Your screenshot also indicates a possibility of a large model extents or a model very far from the origin problem.
