Crashing while modelling:
Any kind of model?
Have you purged the model?
Have you tried to disable hardware acceleration? (often problems can occur due to a bad graphic card driver.)
What graphic card do you got?
Does it crash while modelling when VfSU is not installed? -

Does it crash while modelling when VfSU is not installed?Not any model just this one that is really big
Yes the model is purged though it crashed also sometimes while purging
No will try disabling hardware acceleration
Geforce 9600 GT
Didn't try without VfSU -
I suspect the models that are crashing have large/heavy textures right?

All the textures applied have been re sized to a 10-25% of their original file size. Average ~800x600

It's almost impossible to work without hardware acceleration on this model. Orbiting is really slow.
For the record the size of the model right now is 200MB. It's an area of 180 sq.Km. with 30+ buildings on it with many details on each of them.
Edges 640182
Faces 133686

I've had some heavy models like that myself. Without crashing. Might be the model has been corrupted somewhat.
Have you tried copying into a new file. I know you will loose your scenes and V-Ray settings, but just as a test?
Another test; make a copy of your file. Run this plugin to remove all materials: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=17587
It might be a corrupted texture that throws things off.
-
I run the script to remove all the materials and the model is about 8MB in size now and runs smoothly.
Do you believe it's because of the materials?
Some of the materials are about 1000x1000 and some others about 750x750
Are these sizes too big? should I scale them down a bit?
Is there any way to search if there is some specific material that causes the problems? -
Not really a texture size in dimesions as much as it's size in kb. Are they all jpg, or png?
How many different textures? -

How many different textures?There are about 60 different textures.
Most of them are.png but there all also jpegs.
I thought that on sketchup it loads them as bitmaps so the size of files doesn't matter.
Do you think I should change them to jpeg? -
There has been cases where a bitmap texture has been corrupted and caused problems. It could be that you have one of these trouble textures in your model.
No quick and easy way to find it, other than removing one by one.
Or you could resave them all into another format.
