      Hello again good people of the forum, I have a slightly different question for you this time:

      My laptop struggles with some of the trickier processes. My most recent previous question on here about drawing some ribbed conduit that bends (http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=46680) led me to "Shape Bender" which is a great PlugIn, but to bend one length of conduit once through 90degrees took over 10 minutes! I'm no computer nerd so please don't get too detailed with your responses, but I can tell you that I have a 2GHz dual core processor and 3Gb of RAM. What would you suggest would be minimal and ideal specifications for laptops? πŸ€“

          Quad core, 4gb and dedicated GPU and 64bit OS.

          The number of parameters around best for SU is subjective. it's a 32bit app so can't avail of more than 4gb of RAM on 64bit systems. But a good processor, enough RAM and a healthy GPU should yield good response time.

          Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–
