Click on SU 2025, Home window opens click on architectural style then Sketchup window begins but shuts down and closes immediately after that. Tried to open in 2024 and same thing happens.
Also just updated graphics card and same problem…tks
When the document window opens there are two things going on at the time. One is that extensions are being loaded, the other is that the GPU is being initialize. Do you have SketchUp set to use the GTX GPU?
Hi Colin, thanks for getting back so soon.
I don’t know if it was set to either GTX or GPU. which is best? thanks
Just tried the repair feature but same issue
GTX is the name that Nvidia used to give to their gaming gpu’s, on your profile says you’re using a GTX 1070 gpu. What Colin asked is if sketchup is using the GTX 1070 as the main gpu because it could be using the cpu integrated gpu, which is worse than the dedicated one.
I forgot how to get in there and change it.?
This guide tells you the steps:
Look for the part that starts with “To set the default GPU for your application or game,…”
To point at SketchUp 2025, you would want to go to this path:
c:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2025\SketchUp\SketchUp.exe
Thanks Colin, Got my CLX computer support and we updated the settings as you suggested.
still had the same issue.
Then the tech narrowed the issue down to a recent plugin I got called S4Uoffset, that was preventing Sketchup from opening up. After removing S4UOffset application SU2025 IS opening up fine.
Thanks for the update.
Yes good job coming back with the resolution as most ppl don’t and it leaves other people that might have the same issue swinging in the breeze.
I let the plug-in S4Uoffset know as well what happened
