Barry,
I am heart broken from such a response from a Sketchup team member. As a casual user since Version 8. I’ve been the most ardent advocate of Sketchup. Because of Sketchup’s innovative interface which allows for the shortest learning curve in any 3-D CAD modelling software, Sketchup has single handedly created the most creative 3-D modeling outlet for both casual users and professionals alike. I do wish for the best successes with Sketchup in the future. So whenever Trimble has decided to tackle this little problem, here are a few things I’ve noticed:
- The problem seems to associated with OpenGL. Curiously, boot up sequence sometimes make the problem goes away.
- The earliest manifestation of this problem occurs starting with Sketchup 2015. I ran both Sketchup 2014 and 2015 side-by-side loading the same copy of a drawing (renamed differently off course) and 2015 Sketchup would show the issue. Hope it will help to narrow the scope down.
I hope Trimble will consider spending the resources to fix this issue. I just don’t think Microsoft cares if Sketchup working with Windows or not.
