      Hi you all, I sometimes have this problem:
      when I copy something from a sketchup file to another sketchup file, sketchup crashes. I somehow would be able to fix the problem by deleting something, or copy a new copy...but not sure what exactly I did that I was able to fix the crash.

      does anyone know what really causes this kind of crashes?

      Thanks so much. and Happy New Year!

        I tend to use ⌘+C to copy and V+C to 'paste in place' into the second model and don't recall ever having a crash doing it...

        if the poly count is massive it can take some time, but eventually resolves...

        items made from circles, arcs or curves also seem to take longer, and I often 'group' those first...

        i.e. ⌘+C >> V+C to 'paste in place' >> G >> ⌘+X >> V+C to 'paste in place' into the second model...

        If I did have an issue, I would suspect a plugin that uses observers to watch Materials or Layers...
