troggarf Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 i notice that version 8 doesn't crash as much as 7 (BUG SPLAT!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I would keep v7 around just to make sure all your custom rubies work. With that and if the new features are good for you, you should be OK. You can download the 8 hour demo and see if the "new" features are worth the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastermarketeer Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I know this thread is old, but frustration is not. In the early years before Sketchup had the insane “Google” moniker it was a promising and surprisingly useful tool. Crude by today's standards, but worked very well. Today is another story, it is EXTREMELY unstable and crashes frequently. I have over 10 gigs of memory and it will still freeze up just trying to cut a wall fro a window?? I would not if you haven't already invest in this worthless time wasting program. If you want a program where you can wait several minutes and I mean minutes not seconds, to change tools in the tool menu then this is the program for you.

f700es Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Something does sound wrong there. I am not sure what but I would save my file back to v7 and see how it does there. Is this file extremely large? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use Sketchup very much, but we have a guy in the office that does use it quite a bit. He hasn't been experiencing any freezing, crashes or instability and he has been working on some fairly large scenes with only 4GB RAM in his machine. Can you give us a little information about the type of scenes/models you're working on and post some screenshots of your files? Also, what are the full specs on your computer?

clicker Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 from what I've heard, high RAM wont really increase your performance in sketchup. I think capabilities would be more weighted on the processor and the video card. What are your specs in these areas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastermarketeer Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Thanks for responding, on most Google forums I am ignored, or told to trade out my $400.00 graphics card for a different one? No one says what one of course. My System is: Model Name: Mac Pro Model Identifier: MacPro1,1 Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz Number Of Processors: 2 Total Number Of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB Memory: 13 GB Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B08 SMC Version (system): 1.7f10 ATI Radeon X1900 XT: Computer stand like mine.skp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastermarketeer Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 It took several seconds of beach ball time to open this stock file. I have under other circumstances crashed. Many of the large projects I have to work in preview (line only) so that I can at least move as fast as a turtle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyRoz Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) I am new to construction field and it was new to me.. I went through the different threads and found that this is very useful product. Hoping for getting benefited from it in future...
