      Yes.. and I am quite sure the Mac users (and Developers,) will be happy that you attended to the Entities.add_group() slowdown issue.

      Thanx for jumpin' on that John !!

                  You should be getting a notification as soon as you open sketchup.

                      Wait, I haven't followed this very closely. Are you saying that I can add 15,000 groups without massive slowdown now?

                        Adding geometry still slows down depending on how much geometry there is in the context you add to - so the more you add, the slower it gets. But OSX had a bug that made it even worse.

                          Both editions of the application, and the SDK, had it. In the last MR cycle, the code was fixed, and the SDK and the Windows app, called the new code,.. but somehow the OSX app source didn't get changed to call the new code.

                          It would be interesting to see the MAC results of new tests.. against the old ones run on 8.0M2

                              Since upgrading to M3 I have blacked out bars in shader light and 1001 bit in the data entry bars and I can't see what Iam typing. Is there anywhere I can redownload M2 or is there a fix

                                M3 seems to be a bit faster, but it simplifies graphics (shadows, then textures) even more agressive, when it's not able to render huge scenes fast enough.

                                Is there the ability to disable such graphics speculations in SU? I need full graphics in native render even with 1 FPS: AVI export is awful in SU, and if i export frames with smooth animation plugin, I also get some artifacts in styles (lines, watermarks). So, i'd like to set scene transitions times to very low, grab video from screen and speed up result in video editor, but SU kills graphics and my nerves even with scene transitions times = 30 sec 😑

                                    Ah, you are on OSX - that is not an M3 thing - it's and update to Safari to did that.

                                      Enclosed are screen grabs of the blacked out bars, I looked on the sketch up official forum as well and somebody has posted a similar problem on there. I am running OSX 10.7.4 and using Sketchup Pro M3 release Version 8.0.14345

                                      thanks

                                          I'm a little late updating .. but now I have no working sketchup on my computer. The installer hunted down and killed all my old versions (back to 5) and when I open the program I have an instant bug splat.
                                          Does anyone know what the runtime error R6025 - pure virtual function call means and how to fix it?

                                            The installer only installs or reinstalls/repairs v8, so if you are installing v8M3 you loose v8M2 etc BUT all earlier versions of Sketchup should be unaffected...
                                            As you are on new[ish] OS presumably you have the earlier versions to reinstall.

                                            How to fix a runtime error R6025.

                                            The recommended procedure is:-

                                            If you have received the message that reads "Runtime error R6025 Pure Virtual Function Call," then the program you are using has been corrupted in some way and will need to be deleted and then re-installed.

                                            Repeated runtime errors of this nature may indicate a problem with the Registry.

                                            You could try using the app's REPAIR option and see if that works, before resorting to uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

                                            Appearing to affect all of the separate Sketchup Registry entries is odd...

                                            It might be advisable to revert to an earlier OS set, saved when you last installed Windows updates etc... Alternatively do you have any Registry repair tools ?
