this seems somewhat random and I can’t nail it down to a specific action. While I am working Sketchup just crashes and gives a bug-splat message. I went to autobackup every minute to keep from losing much. Sometimes it goes into a long wait - I have had to go have lunch while I am waiting it took so…

This looks to be related to some extensions, but we’re not able to tell which one. Can you PM any of us the content of your Plugins folder? Then it would also help if you had a chance to remove your extensions one by one to see when the problem goes away. Then we can focus on that one and see if w…

[image] wandi2000i: constraints that often occur, usually deletion registry so that the program crashes or other problems Based on the crash report this does not look like a registry issue and we would not recommend doing any modification to it. In general I’d not encourage users to meddle wi…

Thx - I lost contact with this request. I have updated - I will see where that goes. Then I will work on the extensions. I just loaded one so that isn’t it. I have STL import, SuSolid, Cleanup, and Extrusion tools. I think it was doing it b4 Extrusion tools. So that leave 2. It usually does i…

well, the update is producing another issue. When I open any skp file it tells me the file is already open by another user. It is not. I am the only user. I must say no and open it again. Then it opens. This occurs with any file I open even if I had it open, closed it, and try to reopen. The update…

[image] bill_ruggirello: update - it is still crashing I bump my request about the BugSplat data: Sketchup crashes every few minutes - #5 by tt_su I might be able to find some clues to what is happening if I can look at the BugSplat crash data.

[image] bill_ruggirello: When I open any skp file it tells me the file is already open by another user. Have a look at this thread .

I have 16GB of memory. This never happened until I updated Sketchup. It also does not happen with other programs even when I have 5 or 6 programs open at the same time. So I don’t think this is the issue. It does it whenever I open sketchup by clicking a file. If I open sketchup and then open a file…

So basically you didn’t read the thread.

so basically it says “To see the issue, you need to have the Preview pane open” since I don’t EVER use the preview or thumbnails can I assume that this does not apply to what I am experiencing??? The locked issue is becoming more infrequent. Maybe it is like fine wine and gets better with age. T…

Regarding the crashing, have you tried disabling hardware acceleration through Window > Preferences > OpenGL? If the crashing isn’t extension related then it needs be seen if it’s a graphics driver deficiency disguising itself as an extension issue. Locking can also be a permission issue with an o…
