Bug splats
-
I've been using SketchUp like most folks for years. So I have my 2017 make with plugins and I have come to the realization that bug splats are apart of sketchups environment. My memory serves me correctly back in 2017 Sketchup had an update but I don't know if it was in regards to bug splats. My question is. Is it a memory issue? is there something out there plugin Wise that can prevent that? Thanks John

Plugins are occasionally the cause for Bugsplats. Bugsplats could also be related to Operating Systems and even hardware.
In most cases you can assign the cause to the task you were executing prior to the splat.

Every SketchUp release includes bug fixes. As Rich indicates it might be related to an extension. Are these Bug Splats you are experiencing a recent thing? Can you identify what change in your computer might have happened right before you started seeing the Bug Splats? Obviously SketchUp 2017 hasn't changed in 8 years.
You could disable all of the extensions and see if you still get Bug Splats. If not, enable half of them and see if there's a change. If so it's probably one of those extensions. If not, enable half of the remaining ones and check again.
It could also be related to graphics drivers or operating system updates. If that's the case rolling back to a version from before when the Bug Splats started would be the next step.
What operating system are you using? Keep in mind that your computer is evolving out from under SketchUp 2017 Make. I presume you are using it as a hobbyist so it may not be a big deal that you have to deal with Bug Splats but for those who any software professionally, it's important to decide whether you are going to keep the applications updated to the supported operating system and other applications or if you're going to prevent the computer from getting updates in order to stick with the OS supported by the applications.
