Hey all.
I’ve updated the latest version yesterday. But since then, I’m having problem purging unused items from default system. But when I use TIG purge all extension it works fine.
It happens in every model. Just hit the purge button and SketchUp exits. No crash report, no hanging, nothing.
Any idea why this is happening? The 2024 version was fine. At first, I thought the models were created in 2024 version, that’s why. Then I created a basic model in 2025, but still the same.
I wonder then what the hang up is…
Can you try using the TIG extension and only purge materials and layers, then try native SKP to purge the components?
If that works maybe then try the reverse. Something somewhere must be corrupt.
I don’t know of any crashing that should be caused by purging. Is it with any model, or only particular ones?
There is something odd with TIG’s extension, in that it doesn’t give an option to not purge components. They do get purged, but the dialog doesn’t suggest that they will.

I disagree. I just tried using it in v2025 and it worked exactly as expected.
When you chose ‘No’ to purging components it works as expected,
and leaves unused Components in the definitions,
and also purges the other kinds of things properly.
I also can’t see how the SketchUcation toolset and/or Enscape might affect the native purging.
I don’t have that renderer installed but I do use the the SketchUcation toolset and the native Model Info >Statistics > Purge Unused works fine…
The first option should read ‘Purge Components:’, as Dave explained.
Seems the MAC can’t cope with a string of 17 characters.
No MAC user ever reported it before.
I’ve tweaked code to make the prompts shorter…
