Who said SketchUp doesn't need to be 64 bit?

On a second run for the obvious crash due to lack of memory I have received this:

I have answered Yes... although I wasn't 100% sure whether it was asking "Do you want to format drive?" .

Edit: Whole model loaded into SU in Win7 64 requires 2.1GB for SU process.
It won't fit into 3.0GB with a system no matter what.

But you can easiy imagine that rendering it inside SU is not an option, when the model itself occupies quite a lot.

Yea, sounds like a tough model. Though not that 64bit SU would help for that machine when it's 32bit OS and have only 3GB RAM.
I still find it surprising for a model to consume so much memory. I'd like to investigate what causes it.

You mean having the render process inside the SketchUp.exe process? That's not something we would recommend any way.

Can you email or PM me that model for debugging please?

No. It is a model of one of our customers.

I fully understand that you, Tomasz, can't send the model to Thomas, but wouldn't you be able to ask the "customer"...??
You could point him/her to this thread and then the conversation could continue between the "customer" and "Trimble" directly...

No worries. I am already in contact with Thomas.
