I’m testing Sketchup Pro on my Acer I7 processor equipped with Intel Graphics Video Interface. Sketchup standard worked well with the already reported problems of conflicting coexistence with the Intel Graphics interface. Skethup Pro has a random behavior regarding the selection tool. Generally the first activation of Sketchup presents slowness in the selection tool, but the second and sometimes the third activation works perfectly. In my 35 years of software engineering experience (now retired) this seems like an uninitiated variable problem. I would like to buy two licenses, so I ask:
don’t try this at office. Avoid integrated graphics sub-systems (Speed, OpenGL support) with 3D modelers if you can.
meant Make v2017, recent Pro is v2018.
if the patch linked above doesn’t fix you can either:
• wait to evaluate SU v2019 (~2 month) or
• use the OpenGL-wise less demanding SU version 2016 (which also allows to disable the use of OpenGL) or
• downgrade to Windows 7 or
• buy a system w/ a decent GPU adhering to the system requirements (= dedicated nVidia GeForce MX/GT/GTX rec.).
I use Make 2017 on a Lenovo ideapad with i3 and internal Intel HD Graphics 520.
Never had any issues with slowness or anything else…
Offcourse it also depends on the size and polycount of you’re files.
The script has fixed the problem. Thanks.
" wait to evaluate SU v2019 (~2 month)" → My 2018 Sketchup Pro expires in 13 days. I would like to evaluate SU v2019 if I had my license extended.
“buy a system w/ a decent GPU…” → I was trying a less expensive solution.
