Hay if anyone can help me please, Sketchup crashes on me for no apparent reason, this happens every time i use it and i can be using any tool or doing nothing, it seems to be a random time issue, I have a brand new laptop running windows 10 and a radeon r5 m320 graphics card? i think, my old lap top as slow as it was never had this issue, i have tryed to uninstall and reinstall many times but nothing seems to fix it, from all the related issues i have found it might be a hardware acceleration issue? but its not changeable with mine (or at least i dont think it is) I have sent the bug spat report as it suggests (many times) but received no help. Please Help Me…
There have been other reports of this sort of behavior and in the majority of cases it has been linked to the graphics card. Open SketchUp and immediately go to Window>Preferences>OpenGL and turn off Hardware Acceleration. See if the behavior changes. You should also check for updated drivers for your graphics card.
I’m having the same problem, disabling hardware acceleration didn’t solve the problem, and my graphic card driver is up to date, Sketchup crashed about 10 times in half an hour, there’s really no possibility to do anything significant!
cool ill give this a go, found update for card so will sort that aswell, thanks
Good luck, Sean. I hope those things help.
It would help if you’d share a LayOut file that exhibits this slow behavior.
MOSTLY WORKING WITH PG 11 I BUT ALL OTHER MODELS ARE DISCONEECTED OR MESSED UP SINCE NEW SYSTEM AND UPGRADE ,sorry for the caps didnt intend
file locks up whole system also get the big yellow triangle with exclamation point on every action
You need to make the file available. I get Access Denied when I follow your link.
say i want to move an object like column line or importing the object model overlay cross section on page 11 it would not render properly , kept getting triangle or it would only render in hidden line mode and not shaded w textures dimensions disconnect from all models its all jacked
try that
sorry
Alright. Give me a few minutes to look at your file. It’s huge!
that a small one
i have only worked on pg 10 and 11 since moving to new system and upgrade to 25 fyi
from a processing and graphic side i have probably top 3 system ranked by performance so i know its not lack of resources
I see that Dan is replying so I’ll stand down and defer to him.
Make sure that your system is set to use “High Performance” Nvidia GPU for all versions of SketchUp and LayOut.
i will check, is that through my win settings or sketchups?
so in my nvida 3d settings i have added sketchup and layout , i see alot of settings are turned off ill turn all on and back out from there
also i see with the Geforce in the nvida controll pnl says PhysX must use HDMI not monitor connection.?
Since Dan didn’t address this stuff …
Here are a few additional things.
I note that you have Display viewport rendering set to High. This will resuly in longer render times when updating the SketchUp references. Medium resolution will be adequate and faster.
The viewport on page 11 is rendered as Hybrid. This will also take more time when updates are rquired. I expect you could manage with Raster at least while you are working. You have Output Override enabled so any raster rendered viewports will be rendered as Hybrid during Export.
I looked at the references list. There are some files that could stand to be purged. Maybe they are holdovers from a different project?
I looked at the SketchUp references and see two SketchUp model references in the LO file that are both more than 61 Mb. It appears there should only be one of those. The multiple .skp file references bloat your LO file and it can make it appear that viewports aren’t updating because they aren’t tied to the file you edited.
I went through my usual cleanup process for the first of those too huge files and wound up reducing it by about 54%.
You would make your workflow easier and faster if you keep your SketchUp files neat and trim. Ensure correct tag usage. All edges and faces are created and remain untagged. Only groups and components get tags. Purge unused content from the model. No need to hoard unused components, materials, and styles. Don’t use excessively large textures in the model.
As for the disconnected dimensions, most of them can be reconnected by selecting them (it would be easier if you had a layer specifically for dimensions in your LO project) and then right click and choose Reconnect. In a few cases it looks like the SketchUp model had been edited at some point in time and the geometry was replaced which resulted in a loss of the Persistent IDs so the connections for the associated dimensions were lost. The dimensions can be reconnected by double clicking into them and moving the anchor point shown in red to connect to the model.
