    FYI for those who use 3Dconnexion products:

    I am, or have been, using a 3Dconnecxion SpacePilot Pro with SU8; it appears that 3Dconnexion does not play well with SU2013, at least not for me.

    Per my phone conversation today with 3Dconnecxion: It will be 2-3 weeks before the new software/driver will be available; so, for those who use 3Dconnecxion products you may want to wait on the SU2013 install until their new driver is available, or not....

      Hasn't this been the case for every SketchUp release that the drivers had to be updated?

        OK, I upgraded as soon as I could, and to my happy surprise, NO, NO bug splats.

        It seems to be faster, but I don't have a method of this measuring this, so I will let other determine the speed.

        However, the lack of bug splats I can measure, and I have not received one with this new version. So what ever was done, good job.

        Job well done.

              The number of entities added into a context affect SketchUp's processing time of all calls manual and API.
              Each has to be assessed for intersection, merge etc.
              As the numbers increase the time rises almost exponentially as more and more entities are involved...
              Also if the refresh of the graphics is not switch d off that has an effect too...
              Using a
              model.start_operation('xxx', true)
              is the fastest way of processing - especially in v2013...
              I need to check that LatticeMaker has those all set right... πŸ˜•

              Edit: bum!
              Although it does because 13 is taken to be < 7 [alphanumerics!] it skips it.
              I'll PM you a test updated version - can you retry and see if the time improves...

              It's now updated to v1.3 in the main thread...

              Thanks for the quick fix TIG! The good news - it's faster than before now on SU13. But I'm still puzzled because every time I run the script I get a different result now - 13min14s; 8min; 9min30s; 9min20s..and 4min58s.
              I did also crash SU13 when I did copy/ paste the geometry into a new file and started the script for a second consecutive time.
              Not sure why it behaves like this..? I will send you the file, maybe you can reproduce the results.
              Thanks for all the efforts!!

                If we are to trust the tool, "Test time display". Then would be "Sketchup 2013," a bit faster. Whether this also has an impact on the plugins I can not judge.

                I see someone has been playing around with their registry settings... πŸ˜„

                  Toolbars for Plugins missing.

                  Loaded the following from EW:-
                  'Selection Toys'
                  'Edge Tools2'

                  Tried un-checking then re-checking in Toolbar list. Still not visible.

                  We're working on a fix for this now. It was a last minute regression that slipped into the release. Sigh. Sorry about that.

                    Shadows- very unpleasant surprise. In v8 it was only the viewport artefact, now the output also get affected ! 😑
                    And this clipping issue... πŸ‘Š

                      this isn't an 'issue' so much as it's a new behavior (one that i've seen requested a few times here as well as for a certain other drawing app.

                      on mac, when you launch sketchup, a sketchup window will be created.. once you close that window, the only way to get a new one is to cmmdN (file->new)

                      previously, you'd get a new window by clicking on the dock icon or upon switching back to the app..

                      kind of hard to explain without doing the comparison yourself.. i guess i can see why some people might prefer the new behavior but i can also see why someone might prefer the previous behavior.. i'm on the fence and i haven't used 2013 for actual work yet so i don't really know.

                        I prefer it. I usually have to close that new window--and it always asks to save (v.8). No other apps I have act the old way, opening an empty file every time you choose the app in the dock.

                        It is more common to want to open an existing file.

                          that's a ruby which is causing the "would you like to save?" behavior when trying to close a fresh window..

                          one of the su9 wishlist items i presented was to have the sketchup app itself preventing this from happening regardless of any 'bad' coding by the ruby author.. i haven't put all of my plugins in 2013 yet to see if it's now being prevented.. i'll try out one of the rogue plugins in a little while to check.

                            ^ yeah, that's still happening in su 2013

                            i used to track down the ruby authors to get them to fix the behavior (as many of them aren't aware of it since they don't have macs to test on) but.. one would get fixed then a new one would pop up so i sort of gave up..

                            there's only one of these plugins that i actually need (rendering) and i just keep it turned off as an extension until i need to use it.. the other ones, i just don't install them..

                              Can anyone help me? In Sketchup 2013 my sandbox tool is missing. I have checked everything including the Resources folder.

                                I notice you have Sketchucation plugin, have you perhaps disabled it in the plugin manager?

                                  What about the Extensions manager? The last button of the three.

                                    There is no sandbox! On my laptop it is available under su_sandbox.

                                          do you have any extra sandbox.rb, extensions.rb, sketchup.rb files in your plugins folder?
