      Hi,

      I work on two computers that have two different versions of sketchup:

      My Desktop has SketchUp 7 (free)
      My school-issued Laptop has SketchUp Pro 6

      Recently I've been modeling a city for the past few weeks as a project, and have come into some trouble. Whenever I work on my desktop, my sketchup model seems to blink and jump continuously whenever I try to use any tool. As if it were having a seizure. Weirdly enough, this 'glitch' doesn't seem to plague my laptop. Any suggestions?

      Here's a screenshot of the glitch when I try to use the Line Tool.

      I've been combing the web for forums and threads that could answer this issue, but haven't been able to find an answer.

      And so it's unfortunate that I haven't been able to work on my desktop because it's so much faster and more powerful than working on my laptop. Any help is greatly appreciated.

        looks to be a video card issue.

        In your preferences try turning off AA and see if it continues.

        It's also advisable to get the new drivers from the manufacturers website.

        Hopefully it's not an ATI.

        If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.
