Help! You're my only hope...
-
I'm beginning to think it is the Skatter plugin - I have 7 skatter/renderings on my list. Does anyone know how to kill them, I did try selecting and hitting the minus sign, but they are still showing up.
Any thoughts on if that would cause a lag in opening or loading?
I'll run off and search to see if I can find a thread on Skatter and the ins and outs...

If you suspect Skatter, then it's probably best to contact the authors for assistance.

I've posted over at Skatter...but I'm not 100% sure that that add-on is causing the issue. I suspect it because the file seems to load on a machine that doesn't have Thea or Skatter installed.
Thea has never given me an issue in the past with the Not Responding on startup.Is there a way to see what SketchUp is hanging or loading when it sits and spins on startup and gives the (Not Responding) designation.
I'm back to waiting on it to load. I left the file opening last night and remoted in to check on it and it finally had loaded...but this morning after looking at the Skatter setups it finally Bug Splatted on me.
Processes show that Memory (3,841,--- K) and CPU of 13...with Memory varying slightly...so it looks like it isn't locked, just working on something in the background.
Status under the Aplications Tab (Windows Task Manager) does show Not Responding... -
It's now climbed to 6,062,---k Memory usage and flickering between 12-13% CPU usage.
Still hasn't finished opening...or it is locked up and I just don't want to admit it. -
On the semi-virgin machine (just loaded Thea and the trial for Skatter)...the same file that is still trying to load on my machine - loads in seconds and has only gotten up to 589,292k memory usage with 0% CPU currently (because it's not loading I would guess).
What oddness....anyone have any ideas what is going on?
-
Finally Opened! 1 hour later!
5,573,180K w/ 0% CPU...this sounds high in comparison. -
Then I hit Render for Thea Render and it Bugsplatted...
Not a good couple days in SketchUp land for me. -
Here are a couple shots of the model to show what I am working with...

I am not an expert, but this looks like data transfer problem, which means it is connected with HDD, RAM and maybe GPU memory. So, I would check difference between two systems. It would be best to post your hardware profiles here. This is a good tool for that http://www.hwinfo.com/

Running it now.

I finally got it open again and purged then "Fix Problems" and got this...

And...it crashed again...damnit!
Will see if I can get an old version to work while trying to bring that one back up.
I had purged out all the unused Skatter setups and purged and fixed the file...still bugsplatted. -

Thanks! Was able to rule one plug-in out of the problem that I am having.
-
Wow!
1 The hardware is more than enough...
2 Will have to remove all the plugins, than add them one by one to find the cause..Just to remind you

The issue popped up again recently.
Found it to be a Skatter issue after all.
I could pull it up on a machine without Skatter plug in installed with ease...would hang forever on my machines that had Skatter installed.
Went in and purged/deleted the Skatter reference on the non-Skatter machine....saved then opened in my Skatter machine (no problem) - then redefined the Skatter perimeters...and works like a charm.Unsure what the hang up is and once redefined the problem hasn't occurred again.
