When drawing a select rectangle on Make 2017 on MacOS Mojave, dragging left to right is a solid normal rectangle. When dragging right to left, MULTIPLE rectangles are drawn, similar to “zoomin rects” from the past. This is on a new MacBookPro 2019 running Mojave 10.14.5. See the below screenshot … …

[image] headhacker: Thanks for any help, Unfortunately, SketchUp 2017 was released before Mojave was, and doesn’t officially support Mojave. It supported Yosemite, El Capiton, Sierra, (and later with maintenance release 3, also High Sierra.) Since Make has been discontinued, there will not …

[image] DanRathbun: The Details subdialog of the Preferences > OpenGL dialog panel should indicate which driver SketchUp is using. The Radeon software should allow you to indicate which GPU you want to run certain applications. The new laptop is using the Radeon Pro 555X in the OpenGL dialog…

[image] slbaumgartner: In my experience, macOS has been very reliable for automatically detecting which graphics an app such as SketchUp should use provided automatic switching is on (as @Barry noted), so I doubt that is the cause. Besides, @headhacker reported that SketchUp’s OpenGL preferences…

[image] slbaumgartner: Per @DanRathbun ’s question: yes, the mac version does have the “use fast feedback” checkbox in the SketchUp OpenGL preferences. And checking or unchecking has no effect on the issue. Thanks for the suggestion.

[image] headhacker: I’m not sure when they switched over to Radeon - I think it was around 2018. I think it was before that. I wound up with a PC for my new notebook computer because Apple had stopped using Nvidia graphics in their MBPs.

[image] DaveR: I think it was before that. I wound up with a PC for my new notebook computer because Apple had stopped using Nvidia graphics in their MBPs. Good to know, thanks. This issue is not the end of the world, just annoying when the selection gets a little detailed and I really need …
