Even with my new MacBook Pro M5 Pro, all of a sudden I’m getting stopped working on the Engine Room drawing. I am attempting to create an animated walk through of the model. I get so far and then I get this.
Even after Force Quitting all of the offending applications it still won’t let me proceed without shutting down SketchUp. I know the drawing is very complex and because I’m navigating the entire drawing, I’m not able to break it up into smaller chunks. I also know that things like the highly detailed gratings create a lot of complexity.
I running with 48GB RAM.
That said, I just went into system settings and found that I had 195 GB available the 1 TB HD. I found one file that was taking up 116 GB. It was a 3D print file that had to be wrong. After deleting I now have over 300 GB free. Should this help?
What else can be done? I’m not buying another new computer.
Out of curiosity, how large is the SketchUp file itself?
If you’re comfortable sharing the model, I’d be interested in taking a look. I’m curious whether this is coming from the model complexity itself or something else happening during the walkthrough process.
It would be interesting to compare what’s actually inside the file versus what SketchUp is consuming in memory.
File is 91.5 MB. Not very big. The crashes always seem to come during a MOVE function. Force closing and re-opening does clear the fault and it works for a while longer. I can share the file. An older version is already on the SU Warehouse, but it doesn’t have the 40+ scenes I’ve created. I’m actually almost finished, so my work arounds are working, just annoying.
Can I send you the file via Drop Box. It’s too big for this site?
