      Same question?

      Also on mac ML with Sketchup 2013. BZ tools crash every time.

      I went through all the suggestion in this and the plugin thread and unfortunately nothing helped.

      Do you get a crash too with my other plugins (like FredoScale, RoundCorner, ...)?

          I have the same problem in one of my 3 machines. they all run Mountain Lion, the latest SU and the latest Fredo plugins, but the crashes occur in only one of them.

            What would be helpful is that you describe the context of the crash

            • at startup or when drawing or when generating or when modifying
            • which tool or all tools
            • etc....

              Ok, I played around with the different tools for some time each. Problem is: There's seems to be no pattern in when or which tool crashes. Sometimes first click into the canvas, sometimes some control points into the operation. It seems that each tool crashes equally probable.

              Let me know if I can do anything else to find the cause of this?!

                Apparently the problem occurs on Mac (and possibly on some versions of OSX) and the subsequent problem is that I don't have a Mac to try reproduce it.

                So, currently I see two ways to progress:

                1. when you get the bug splat, please send it with comments that this is about BezierSpline. The sketchup team may identify the area or operations which is guilty.

                2. By chance or by accident, you may find a configuration where the crash is reproducible. If so, let me know, as I can ship a version equipped with traces to find out where it could be.

                  Ive been running into similar issues over the past 3 weeks now. Sketchup has become very unstable using any of the Fredo tools (running SKU Pro 2013), but the root of it seems to stem from a plugin I installed called the Energy Plus Legacy Open Studio (its utter crap ans also breaks V-Ray and a bunch of other plugins). Immediately after installing it I've had nothing but headaches. Ive since uninstalled that plugin, uninstalled and reinstaled a fresh version of Sketchup, and reinstalled everything else (fredo and other plugins), so I thought the problems would stop, but It still persists. I get the most issues when running round corners, Joint Push Pull, and Curvizard, as well as the boolean operations native to sketchup.

                  I used to have a script that I could run that seemed to do the trick, I have no idea what it is or where I got it, but I would run the .bat operation, and it would re-organize the plugins menu and I would get more reliability out of the plugins. However that was in SU 8, I don't know if it would work in 13.

                  Anyway, all that said, I can reproduce the bug-splat issue consistently by running the round corner operation. Operations to reproduce go like this:

                  1. open new sketchup scene
                  2. create geometry
                  3. run round corners (any of the 3 will do)
                  4. operation will finish.
                  5. once the tool is finished; clicking, closing or any next operation will result in a sketchup bug-splat.

                  Ill check tomorrow when I get to work, see if its pulling too much memory and thats crashing SU or maybe theres a background operation that keeps running causing the crash? Im not really sure. But things are not going well at the moment. I'm pretty sure its a plugin conflict, I'm just not sure where because everything was running great 3 weeks ago and thats the setup Ive reverted too.

                    Vray has been known to cause conflicts with other plugins too. Did you try disabling it as well?

                      I'm working on a recent build of V-Ray now, it doesn't seem to make a difference if it's installed or not. But I'll remove it and see if the issue persists. It hasn't been causing problems, however somthing in the most recent nightly may be doing it. We shal see.

                        I've not had any issues with any of Fredo's tools causing SU to crash but then I don't have any of those plugins that are known to cause problems. Maybe the latest build of the Vray plugin is better but it has been known to cause problems for a lot of users. This has been widely reported here on SCF.

                        Another thing to look at is the permissions for the Plugins folder. Make sure all users have full permissions established.
