        I'm guessing you've gone through the suggestions on sketchup sage: https://sites.google.com/site/sketchupsage/faster/ ? I believe SketchUp is a 32 bit app and can't use more than 2gb memory.

            You could try exporting your scene to Kerkythea(free) and rendering in that. It's a studio based app so it handles large scenes with ease.

            @Martin

            SU is now LAA enabled so if you run it on 64bit systems it avails of extra RAM.

              Thanks for the heads up - I did try to work SU hard and monitor the amount of CPU and RAM consumed - I can't get SU to take more than half the 8gb I have installed even when it was struggling to manipulate a 500k edge model. Is there something I can do to improve this? I'm running Vista 64.

                Theodosia, I still maintain that a studio based renderer will solve your problem.

                  LAA will not use as much RAM as you have on a 64 bit system just up to 4 Gb (and that seems to work for you). If LAA weren't there, it could only use 2 Gb (or with some hack, even on a 32 bit system, 3Gb but it may not be stable)
