Best Computer For Large Model SketchUp Files PC
-
At my place of business we have been using google sketch up for building models of future buildings and the models get pretty large. Greater than 100Mb, easy. Tons of textures, tons of detail to the 1/64th of an inch. After a while the model becomes very slow and hard to work in. Now for the question. What hardware should I need to upgrade in order to run sketch up at that speed. Money aside, is there a computer sold on the market that can do this. I currently have an alien ware laptop, bought it last year custom built with all the highest specifications options on the website when I bought it. Ran me like four grand and sketch up still goes unresponsive when I do certain things. I thank you all in advance for your time.

Read the last pages from this thread: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15%26amp;t=10750 although, even with the fastest machine currently available SketchUp will at some points become slow if you don't model smart: use layers / groups / components / styles and know how to use them to get some load of SketchUp's back

You won't get the horse power out of a laptop that could get from a desktop, but an ideal 3D system would be running 2x Xeon processors and the best Nvidia Quadro you can afford.
You might want to make sure that your settings are optimized for 3D graphics.
