I have seen this a couple of times, but when I tried to record it with screen capture video, it suddenly disappeared
What Os is currently running? (About this Mac)
Ok i think this explains the issue I came to post about here today. So still there is no solve for this about 2 years later? its been annoying for the last two years to not be able to get the nicer to work without the moire looking artifact happening. It shows up in my high res exports for presentations and screenshots and video.
I am Running a maxed out 2021 Macbook Pro M1 Max with 64 GB of Ram. Using Sketchup 2022 pro.
Here is my video of the artifact
MacBookPro-2021-M1(max) 32gigs RAM. MacOS = Monterey v12.6
Monterey is NOT a very stable macOS for me generally, however by far the most crashes and âBugSplatsâ are from using SU2021-Pro. Frequent crashes even though the same SU models are very stable under my i9 Intel CPU macOS Catalina system. Night and day difference - SU is horrible on my M1-monterey system and perfectly fine under i9 Catalina.
My message for Trimble management: If you compile SU to run natively under M1 I will purchase a SU2022 license, but until then nyet. Have no confidence Trimble has demonstrated a commitment to Apple M1 devices. Hope I am wrong, but every SU crash on my MBP-m1 says otherwise.
Thank-you
UPDATE â Read some posts online regarding SU2022-Pro running on m1 chips (natively?) and the reports are still frequent crashes compared to running on Intel CPUâs. It would be nice if Trimble would support itâs SU2021-Pro users by providing an update that runs natively on m1 so we can at least test our systemâs compatibility with SU before yet another painful, disappointing and expensive (time and money) SU upgrade cycle.
I am not a Mac user but version 2022 already runs natively under Mac M1.
SU 22 is natively compiled under M1 chips. that was one of the main things of SU22 for mac if I recall.
Been using SU22 on a M1 with monterrey since release, nothing to complain about.
to be fair, youâre using a version of SU that wasnât supported by your OS.
So Iâm not surprised youâre experiencing instability.
Thank you for your reply.
I have read on this forum and elsewhere that SU2022 is still buggy running on m1âs compared to Intel CPUâs iterating over the same Sketchup model drawing. Trimble and every other large software company talks endlessly about user support, but seldom does this translate into actually doing a good turn for users - in the case of existing SU2021-pro owners: provide a version complied for m1 so we can test it for ourselves.
Other SU users have complained over the years about lackluster Trimble âupdateâ cycles providing few new significant feature upgrades or even bug fixes after years of waiting by the SU community. If you disagree, no worries, good for you, please pass on your positive experience with Trimble upgrades to counterbalance those longtime SU users with the opposite experience.
Trimble did provide a SU version compiled for M1 chips.
They called it SU2022.
Why would they provide an older version for M1 chips ? Their whole business model is âget a subscription and youâll get all the new features and fixesâ
Youâre literally asking Trimble to do what they did, problem is, you bought a fixed licence instead of going with a subscription, so you canât use their solution.
careful, what date were these posts from ? here, youâre continuing a thread that started in late 2020 when the M1 was a new thing, youâll find a TON of posts and threads from the pre-compiled era of SU.
SU2020 was a nightmare on M1 macs, then came SU2021, way more stable, and now 22, natively compiled.
Most of the recent posts and threads talk about problems Ventura. not Monterrey. Because just like Monterrey isnât officially compatible with SU21, Ventura isnât officially compatible with SU22. and so a handful of people have bugs on it.

I am a few weeks short of using SU for 20 years. I have opinions concerning the upgrade cycles but I wasnât voicing them here, just stating that the platform support you were asking for already exists.
I wouldnât bet on thatâŚ
It is not common practice for software companies to update old versions simply because it would cost them too much time and resources and would keep people from upgrading to a newer versionâŚ
Itâs just businessâŚ

Running Mac Studio M1 Ultra Ventura 13.1. 128 GB ram. SketchUp runs pretty quick compared to my old Mac Pro. However, it continuously quits at random times. Even if Iâm away from my mac it will quit. So I switched to running it in Rosetta and it no longer quits. Itâs slower, which kind of defeats the reason of getting a new Mac to run it, but at least I can now work without the worry of it quitting mid-flow. Are SketchUp looking to fix this issue soon I hope?
I assume your profile info is correct - I wouldnât be surprised if SketchUp 2021 doesnât run OK Under Ventura, as even v.2022 doesnât have Ventura support.
Thanks. So frustrating that third party software takes so long to catch up with supporting latest OS.
SketchUp 2022 was released over a year ago. MacOS Ventura was released in late October. As version 2023 must already have been in the works, it must have been too late for a maintenance upgradeâŚ
