Sketchup pro for Mac not finding start or end points or planes after extended use

After a while it just will not find endpoints or planes. Sometimes swapping to another program will wake it up but sometimes have to close and re-open. This has been an issue for years.

We do know of a problem like that, and have a fix in the next update. I can’t yet say when that will be posted.

Are there particular steps you do that always show the problem?

Really just use the program for a while and it will happen. Happens in every model at some point. Sometimes it happens quickly but usually it’s about an hour in before it happens. I can’t repeat it by doing X then Y.

CMD S

CMD TAB to another open app

CMD TAB back to SKP and it should be good to go.

It happens to me maybe 2-3 times every day.

Yea but sometimes the swapping apps thing does not work. Then I need to close and reopen. I would love a permanent solution.

Agreed. I have never had to close / reopen.

Huh maybe I need to be more aggressive with my ctrl tab lol.

I think you both would get further with command-tab!

Yes, sorry! CMD TAB.

Maybe I’m not noticing it because I use Cmd-Tab all the time anyway.

Installed. Fingers and toes crossed :slight_smile: Now if I could get the DWG export bug fixed my life would be perfect.
