SU 2024 feels sluggish?

Hi all,

I updated my SU 2022 to 2024 and the software feels sluggish? It also feels sluggish on very basic models. Does anyone else have this also ?

Is there a difference if you switch back to the Classic graphics engine?

I have just tried and it doesn’t seem to be much difference.

Can you give a small example file, that you see being smoother in 2022?

my files im using it too big to send, Im finding when im close up to pipework im designing the programme stutters abit in the movement.

Do you have Windows settings set like this:

SketchUp preferences like this:

Hi there,

Yes i did/ do have this. I checked it out and it was still linked to 2021 SU so i changed it to 2024. The programme is still laggy. Im not not impressed at all, im working on models which were seemless in 2022 now its becoming clunky. Even when i draw a line it seems to have a very slight delay which is annoying.

I’m also seeing sluggish model navigation in 2024. Stutter is present in zooming and rotation. Changing to classic graphics engine does not appear to change anything.

Open the same model in 2023 and the issue is gone. Speed is fine.

Note the test file is 42mb.

It would happen in any version with your enormous model that has about 10 million entities.

Sorry?

I’ve just finished saying that the exact same model runs absolutely fine in 2023 and not when opened with 2024. Same model. Same computer. Opened 5 min apart. The only variable here is the version.

Sure, this one of my largest models but your comment is simply untrue.

*note. I tried the new and original graphics engines in 2024. No improvement in behavior.

I saw someone say that the file needs to be saved in order for some of the new functions of 2024 to kick in.

If you haven’t already ,make a backup and save the file inside of 2024, open it again and see if that is any better.

2024 has been objectively faster in almost every situation I’ve seen, so it is strange that you are not getting that.

Can we try that file?

Agreed. Not saying @Rodog is not seeing a slowdown, just that there might be another reason for this. I have a few ongoing high poly models that are scans generated from stonework. Between 10 and 14 million edges. They worked in 22 and 23 but are noticeably faster in 24.
