        I think I finaly solved the problem, just leave hardware acceleration ON but fast reponse OFF.

        NO more problems for more than a week!

        Thank you all.

            thank you so much for this. i have been absolutely depressed about not being able to use sketchup without vmware, as it is an important development tool for me. i'm glad i bothered to search around, and i'm very grateful for the member of the community who took the time to help with this serious problem. i have my favorite 3d app back! thaaaaank you!!!

                    Much to my surprise, SketchUp 7 DOES NOT FIX THIS. This patch is still useful with SketchUp 7.

                          Hi, all -

                          After some discussion, and me having tested on PC and Mac, our suggestion on Mac is going to be what happens on the PC by default, and that is to turn off hw acceleration (Preferences->OpenGL). With both fast feedback and hw acceleration on PC, things are pretty ugly as well. We've been in contact with Apple on this issue (after the original driver in Leopard causing a hang). If you look at http://developer.apple.com/graphicsimaging/opengl/capabilities/ this card only supports OpenGL 1.2, which is a concern if this a machine you're trying to make your living on. I'd like to thank inio for an INCREDIBLE job of filing a fix for this, but right now I can't convince enough people that this needs immediate fixing. Sorry, and thanks for the comments.

                          Barry

                            Thanks for the fix Inio! This makes using SketchUp WAY less frustrating now. Is it recommended to leave hardware acceleration and fast feedback on with this patch and the Intel GMA X3100 integrated card?

                              I wasn't aware that this bug even affected the X3100.

                              As for leaving those things on - that's up to you. The Google position appears to be to turn them both off, but if it's usable I don't see why you couldn't leave them on.

                                I'm using Mac Book with 2.4 Intel processor and 2 GB of RAM.
                                I just switch from using SWEET HOME 3D to GOOGLE SKETCHUP 7 FREE, and had the same problem of SU7 runs slow on MAC.

                                I think everybody has tried INIO's solution and its working well.
                                i tried to download the thawup installer, but it is said i am not authorized to do so.
                                Could you inform me, hot to get the patch?

                                thanks INIO

                                    Since this seems to be a recurring problem, I've put up a mirror on my own webspace and added a link below the download box.

                                        SketchUp Pro 7 still crashing,
                                        I am on a MacBook Pro, 2GHz, latest sketchup, OS 10.5.6
                                        tried the ThawUp and still crashing.
                                        I can create a crash by going into layers and hit add layer....
                                        sometimes just SU crashes, some times the spinning beach ball of death..
                                        any thoughts or insights.
                                        next stop the Genius Bar....

                                          ThawUp doesn't resolve any crashes - just the hang after box-selecting or other interactive operations.

                                            I'm a pretty new user to Sketchup 7 using a MacBook running Leopard 10.5.6 & ur fix did the business for me as I was pretty close to giving up using SU7.... Thank you so much for keeping me sane!
