Perhaps there is a god, because after that he got polio and was partially paralyzed, he invented a pulley contraction on his bed to move him, but one day he became entangled in it and was strangled !

Diagnosed with prostate cancer 1 week ago (prob wont die of it, but with it fortunately)

Really sorry to hear about your recent health issues. Wish you the best in your fight and a full recovery too.

Leads, asbestos and now PFAs. Will science/engineering ever get to a point where we stop treating ourselves as test dummies?

@grizzler SketchUp installs Plugins to the following path...

C:\Users\SomeName\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2023\SketchUp

If you go there when SketchUp is closed with your File Explorer you can rename the Plugins folder to ###Plugins (or any name you wish that doesn't conflict with existing folders). This means when you launch SketchUp none of your Plugins will load.

SketchUp will then see there's no folder named Plugins and it will create one.

So you now have a vanilla environment. If SketchUp launches without issue it is fair to assume your start-up issues are related to to your ###Plugins folder.

Now close SketchUp and go to C:\Users\SomeName\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2023\SketchUp and you will see a folder called Plugins and the troublesome ###Plugins folder.

You have the awkward choice of dragging dropping folders/files for extensions into Plugins folder in small batches to see when the startup issue occurs.

Or delete the recent Plugins folder and rename the ###Plugins back to Plugins then try hunt down the issue.

I'm experiencing similar issues where SketchUp won't launch and/or will get to Welcome Screen then fail. So I feel your pain.

@grizzler said in SU24 Crashing on startup.:

Any thoughts?

Rename your Plugins to say ####Plugins to prevent it loading. Start SketchUp and a new Plugins folder will be created.

If it starts then you can safely say there's a conflict at play.

Then comes the narrowing down process......

@Rich-O-Brien I just tried to drag 'n' drop a rb file - and I was greeted by "not enough privileges" pop-up. "welcome" indeed

RB file uploading was not in the allowed list. Its enabled now.

You're "welcome"

@Mike-Amos said in Reputation?:

I know I am a Philistine when it comes to this sort of thing but, what on earth is the 'reputation' thing about?

It's to prevent new accounts from posting content that's blatantly off topic. Mainly mods will review posts and stop you seeing stuff that is spam.

Members can also use it to upvote a particular post/reply as a way of saying something without saying anything.

The actual reputation value a person has is not really relevant unless your are inclined that way.

They way we use it is to place new account holders under certain restrictions until their peers see their contributions are useful and upvote them.

Some use it others don't. Some get offended by downvotes and others don't. Some love getting upvoted others don't.

It can be largely ignored or weaponised. I tend to upvote positive posts and replies in instances where I like the content but can't really add to it.

TLDR : Its an anti spam measure
