      As far as I know, there is a Mac maintenance release, too. Not sure however as I am not a Mac user.

            Did anyone noticed better performances with this maintenance release ? SketchUp seems to be quicker on my computer. I'll try tonight with fraps in order to check fps.

            ❓

              Did you upgrade to the previous 7.1 that was released a couple of months ago? 7.1 gave the biggest increase inperformance. This release should mostly be just fixing a few things that got weird in the 7.1 original release.

              But if this is your first upgrade into the 7.1 series, then YES! you should notice a huge speed increase!

                I already upgraded with the previous 7.1 release, and it seems that I have a better increase performance with this maintenance release. I'll check it this tonight.

                    Does anybody know if this breaks the .dwg import enabler for GSU, or if you can just run the enabler patch again if it does. I'm afraid to upgrade. They said it wouldn't be supported in later versions. Thanks

                        No,this is just a maintenance release and it should not affect the importer.

                          My understanding was that "later versions" meant later major versions. Like SU8.

                            Yes it's fixed now:
                            When editing a component and selecting a component within it, instances of that component were incorrectly highlighted if the "hide similar components" setting was checked. Instances are no longer highlighted in this case.

                            Thank you a lot!

                              Upgraded and indeed, no problems with the importer. Thanks.

                                I'm curious to know what you other Mac Leopard users think of the latest SU build. I've had to go back to v7.1.4870 because I was getting slower performance. I even had a crash- the first one in fact, and oddly enough, no crash log screen popped up either 😕 (yes, I could have opened Console).

                                Updating to Snow Leopard this evening, after I've backed up my hard drive.

                                  I use Leopard still and I have found build 5803 to be more stable than 4870.

                                  Did this remedy the performance issue? There's only one reason I can think of why performance may have been compromised with the upgrade, but it wouldn't have gone away with the downgrade.

                                  That's not too weird. As hard as we try, we can't always capture the crash with our reporting software; neither can the Apple crash reporter.

                                  I can't imagine any reason that this would solve your problem aside from the fact that if you do a clean install, the settings/configuration across your entire machine and in SketchUp will be replaced with defaults, possibly correcting any damage that was caused by misconfiguration. That's a good enough reason to try a clean install, I suppose! I don't know whether it will make a difference if you just do an upgrade installation of Snow Leopard, however.

                                  Let us know how it goes.

                                    Cheers Andrew. I will indeed tell you what happens. I've got to do a 'live performance' in front of over 120 church members this coming Sunday morning, showing the model I have made for modifications to the interior. The vicar has already been 'blown away' by the results from the pre-review!

                                    Next week I will do a clean installation of Snow Leopard, and wiping the whole hard drive. I'll then reload 5803, and give it another whirl. The only reason I haven't bought Pro yet is because of your licensing issue when it comes to platform choice. I don't want to be locked into a Windows version, if I choose to buy another Mac, or vice versa.

                                    regards,

                                      I'm still using Tiger on the mac, but on my Imac yesterday, performance was fine, but I had to re-boot twice because of complete lock up. This has never happened before.
                                      I am still not completely sure that it is the SketchUp upgrade that is causing my problem, as I was working from a dfx/dwg import from Vectorworks. I had simply imported the floor plans into SketchUp, and placed them on another Layer in order to trace on layer 0. I have always had strange anomalies when I bring in dfx/dwg files from either Acad or VW, and have ranted about this before.
                                      When I was done my trace, I copied and pasted the model into a new skp. file, and have had no problems since. But I'm not done yet.

                                        Do you have the software renderer turned on? You can check this via Preferences, click on the OpenGL tab. There is an issue in Apple's software renderer that gets triggered by SketchUp which can cause crashes. Enabling the hardware renderer resolves this.

                                          Thanks, yes up and running, and all drivers current.
                                          With me I'm pretty sure this is a translation issue with dxf/dwg, as seems like the only time I have issues is with these files.

                                            All this SU maintenance and updating is starting to interfere with the weekly vacuuming my wife has left me to do 😄

                                            Would it not be simpler to create a patch.exe for D/L, to fix these bugs: Instead everyone is downloading and installing yet another copy of GoogleSketchUpProWEN.exe

                                            It would also make more sense to rename each new GoogleSketchUpProWEN.exe by including the revision number in the title ie. GoogleSketchUpProWEN.v7.1.4871.exe It would make it easier to distinguish the latest from all the other turkeys?

                                            happy gobble gobble!
