Can someone help me understand if constantly increasing memory usage as reported by the MacOS (Sequoia v15.4.1) Activity Monitor, is normal SU-2025 behavior ? Asking because after updating from SU-2021-pro → SU2025, and MacOS Sonoma v14.7.4 → Sequoia, I have experienced SU lockups after an hour of …

I have tried various versions of SketchUp, and with a few devices. For all cases, SketchUp starts using some amount of memory. A bit of zooming around makes the memory jump up by as much as 200 MB. Stopping zooming around for a moment lets the memory drop down again. Lots of zooming around for quite…

I am seeing a pattern between zooming and using the scroll wheel button to switch to orbit. It seems to be when changing from zoom to orbit that the memory starts accumulating. So repeat that process of zoom then orbit, zoom then orbit… a few times and you should see the memory rack up in Activity M…

I get the spinning beach ball on average once a day. Once it starts there is no return even after 5 minutes so I force quit and restart. Using most recent SU release and Sequoia 15.5 although this has happened since SU25 was released. The trigger seems random—sometimes while importing, sometimes whi…

I have just posted on another thread about experiencing this same issue - random beachballing. In answer to @Box 's point above, yes I did download the latest SM driver. I had to because SM wouldn’t work on SO25 without doing so.

This is good data regarding SU memory leaks. I did not consider the effect of my Logitech MX-Master-3 wireless mouse. Only use the MX-Master-3 for normal selecting drawing etc, while the 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse-pro-wireless is used for navigating in my model. I will try to test for SU-2025 memory …

[image] mark_in_seattle: I will try to test for SU-2025 memory leaks without the SpaceMouse using only the Logitech MX-Master-3. also, know that whether you use it with the usb dongle or bluetooth will impact your RAM too. [image] Issues with LogiPOP mouse Bluetooth in Sketc…

That is a very interesting issue: USB wifi-ish protocol dongle -vs- Bluetooth protocol connection to the Logitech mouse. I will incorporate that into my testing … just as soon as I get bluetooth working again and tested on my opencore Hackintosh-z390, i9-9700(?), 64gB-RAM, big NVME.m2 SSD’s … etc, …

I don’t see this as a bluetooth issue, the fact I can bump an SU file up from 300Mb to 3.5GB in a couple of hours screams memory leak to me, especially as it happens regardless of the navigation input device. I think the problem lies somewhere between SU and Mac Sequoia. My problems started after t…

Any solution to this yet? We have two Mac’s experiencing the same issue. I am still running Ventura while the other Mac is on Sonoma. My SU just crashed while hitting 90GB of memory usage…

The only reply I received on the 3DC forum tried to throw responsibility for the issue back onto SketchUp, asking whether I had informed the SU team of this problem. Since @colin has been on this topic, I think the answer is “yes”. But there has been nothing more from them.

also, know that whether you use it with the usb dongle or bluetooth will impact your RAM too.

short version is, for some reason the usb dongle hogs RAM too. but not the bluetooth connexion.
