Export to .3ds takes forever
-
Hi everyone,
I’m using 2021 Pro and noticed that exporting to .3ds has become extremely slow. I typically use this feature to extract all the materials from a model—especially for 2D elements like landscape 2d textures (camera face-me)—but the process now takes forever, even when there are no actual 3D objects in the file (just camera face‑me items).
What’s puzzling is that the file contains fewer than 10 textures, yet the export still drags on. I first noticed this slowdown after the 2024 version release, and it hasn’t improved since.
Hopefully the developers can take a closer look at this glitch.
Thanks!

The developers haven't have made any changes to SketchUp 2021 since late in 2021. The .3ds exporter in SketchUp 2021 wouldn't have been changed, either. You can be certain that the developers won't be looking at the exporter in old, unsupported versions of SketchUp.
Maybe there's something in your model that is resulting in the slow down. You could share the .skp file. We could try the export in the current version and see what happens.

Your profile says you are using SketchUp 2024. Do you get a different export result with that version?
