      Grettings,

      Recently, (1/8/2016)

      SketchUp began not responding to save or save as or import/export commands.
      It simply freezes right after clicking on the file save as...etc.
      The top bar where tools are generally shown goes to a pale white color, which may be normal...
      however no "select file location" to save into comes up. it simply stays in a frozen state! 😠
      I cannot even close the application, I have to use the task manager to do so... and it doesn't read that sketchup is "not responding". πŸ˜’

      I've updated my graphics drivers and re-installed SketchUp and still no solution.

      If anyone has experienced this error before please comment, any possible solution would be much appreciated! πŸ˜„

        any plugins, materials or imported model added recently?

        renderers can have this kind of effect...

            Thanks everyone for your responses!

            I got a response from sketchUp support which is as follows...
            Note: (I tried option 4 just turned off ruby and back on) it saves as usual now. 😎

            "*%(#FF4040)[For file save issues it's typically related to the filesystem on the OS.

            1. Make sure you're saving locally (no external drive, no network)
            2. Make sure you're saving to a local, non-cloud based file structure as well... no Livedrive, Dropbox and Google Drive...
            3. Make sure you're using OS compatible filenames, nothing really long, try to remove non alpha-numeric characters from both filenames and folders
            4. Confirm if Extensions are in place that could affect file saves, turn off Ruby if necessary
