Macbook / leopard 10.5.4 - faster to boot Windows!
-
Hi there,
I bought a 2.4ghz black macbook about 2 weeks ago. Everything is awesome except sketchup. I have been trawling through all the forums trying to figure this out. Seems that turning off fast feedback does help somewhat, but after working with a model for a few minutes with lots of middle-button panning and orbiting it starts to slow down. I have problems box-selecting too. If I disable hardware acceleration I still have slow, odd behaviour. I have also tried installing the ThawUp patch to no avail. http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2753&p=12822&hilit=thawup
The funny thing is- I dual boot Windows XP with Boot Camp on this machine and I can run Sketchup under Windows and it is really fast! So it's obviously not the machine itself.
One thing I did figure out was that my logitech mouse had a feature where you can tip the scroll-wheel left or right which was making matters worse in sketchup - so I recommend you try disabling that if you are wondering why the middle button orbit is acting funny.
If anyone has any new information on this please let me know! I want to use my mac as a mac not as a PC.
Thanks,

Have a brand new MacBook Pro, and exactly the same problem.
SketchUp was working fine before I went for holidays and when I came back, installed the Mac OS updates and everything in SketchUp became so slow that it is unbearable.Anybody a solution?

There is a problem with some mouse software clashing with SU, unfortunately i cant remember the name of the software, but it might be worth trying to uninstall it and see if SU runs any better.

Did you ever get this resolved? We have not observed issues with MacBook Pros, only older MacBooks. Please let us know if this got resoved (sorry - I normally spend time in LayOut forums, not so much SketchUp).
