Slow saving (SketchUp Pro 2013)

Chris Fullmer

That is peculiar. And yes, the model I downloaded from your link is saving quite fast on my machine as well.

Glad it has sorted itself out, sorry for the previous difficulties though,

I have same problem occasionally with SU 2013. I just tried renaming file and now it saves fast again. In same file copying multiple elements while moving and clicking CTRL caused SketchUp to lag a lot. After I renamed file everything works fine. I will test it again if same problem appears.
Thanks.

In SU Pro 2013 I noticed the same problem while working on a small 2.5 Mb file with several textures in it.

While in 'shaded' mode and with 'shadows on or off' -> saving is instant on the SSD.
While in 'shaded with textures' mode and with 'shadows on' -> saving takes about 17 seconds
While in 'shaded with textures' mode but with 'shadows off' -> saving takes about 11 seconds

So as long as I don't <cntrl>-S out of habit I'm fine but would be nice if this could be fixed.

I think I may have found a solution (at least for the problem I experienced):

disable 'redefine thumbnail on save' in 'model info - file'.
Saving is instantly again in any display mode.

Great tip, my large files now save within around 3 seconds compared to 20.

Well saving here took really like 5-10 minutes (on 2xSSD in RAID0) with a model of 10MB (but with lots of detail).

With your tip it's saving within a second. Great tip and you're my hero of the day. I'm not sure what 2014 does but it really seems a bug in SU 2013.

Thanks!!
