Help please! Stamp Tool causes crash!

hoangduong

i'm trying to use the stamp tool to place a building foot print on terrain but it crashes everytime.

i would select the stamp and as soon as i pick the footprint, sketchup crashes.

i'm using sketchup 6.4 or the most recent update. this has never happened before.

is there a way to repair sandbox or something? or do i need to un-install and then re-install all of sketchup?

thanks.

Hello, is there any chance you could post the model to the forum so we can take a look? I've had problems with the drape craqshing SU, but rarely (if ever?) the stamp tool. I'd like to look at it,

Hi Hoangduong,

I'm frequently confronted to this problem when I use the stamp tool.
For me, it happens when i have other objects near the surface I want to stamp and when my model become too large.

To avoid this, there's a few solutions :

Try to put all others objects in a turned off layer
Take your surface and your building print out of your model, and do the stamp in a new file, and then copy it in your model (not always possible...)
If you have an old version of Sketchup 5, save your file in the SU 5 format, do it under SU 5, and reopen it with SU6. It never crash on sketchup 5 for me.

Hope it helps you.
