        Try doing a manual purge by going to Window>Model Info>Statistics>Purge All

        See if that crahes SU also.

          Sounds like it's something with the model.
          Have you tried importing to a new file?

            😳 Oops, I totally missed the line where J40 said they had already tried it manually. Sorry!

              I've recently had some issues with purge all and VRay 1.05. Basically the purge all removes some relinked Jpeg texture overides (they remain in the Sketchup Model but just doesn't render). Can be fixed easily be relinking the image. Is there a way around this? Or should I create SKMs manually for all the new textures I use?

                I don't understand.
                Texture overrides?

                  What I mean is. When you are unsatisfied with a defaul sketchup texture (.skm) what we do is relink it to a new texture.
                  If you rename the relinked file and right click on it and do a save-as, you can save it as a .skm file in your default sketchup material library.

                      Dear TIG,

                      This plugin would be even better with two icons: Purge All (no choice) and Purge Selected (with the dialogue box and choices).

                      Is this something that you could add to your long to-do list?

                      Best wishes,
                      Bob

                        Dear TIG,

                        Would it be possible for the 'report' to list what it has purged? At the moment it simply tells you how many of each type it has purged (6 components, 2 layers etc), but not what. I would find that option really useful when working on large models

                        Kind regards,
                        Bob

                          It would have to be into some 'log' file with the model - say log='Model-Purgelog.txt' which auto opens if you have 'Report' set. [That could extend to No|Yes|Log ]. It WOULD take more time as it needs to make a lists for each type purged - e.g. for components defsIN=model.definitions.to_a and then after the purge defsOUT=model.definitions.to_a, then find what's 'gone' defsGONE=defsIN-defsOUT, then find their names and add them to the 'log' with defsGONE.each{|d|file.puts(d.name)}... I'll think about it... 🤓

                            Here's v1.5 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=82559#p82559
                            The Report option now has Yes/No/Log
                            If you choose 'Log' then as well as reporting the numbers purged in a dialog, it also writes a file called 'ModelName-PurgeLog.txt' into the model's folder [or 'Untitled-...' and in the 'default folder' if it's yet to be saved]: that file then auto-opens at the end - it lists the numbers AND the 'names' of each of the purged items...
                            All as Bob's [watkins] request 😉

                              Thank you so much for making the changes. I will find the additions very useful.

                              Kind regards,

                                Just a quick note to thank you for the additions. The plugin is now definitely the dog's love spuds (translate that into Spanish).

                                Thanks,

                                      It would be really useful to purge all models within a folder or a set of folders... (I believe it would save on tons of wasted space)

                                        Not a bad idea. I'd like to see all the models on the server purged. So many that are never purged... grrrr

                                          Yeah, this project seems ideal for doing these batch operations... too bad no one is working on it.
