Add_group slow on mac
-
No solutions?
-
Not surprising that it takes the same time to add groups and components, because a group is a special type of component, that also has a
ComponentDefinition(whosegroup?attribute istrue.)The extra time, likely comes from adding all that new stuff to the Component browser. (guessing, here.)
Close any unneeded toolwindows, especially the Object browser. And use an operation with the
disable_uiflag set.That's all we can say. I guess John indicated that there were UI issues with the Mac edition. (I'm not sure if he said the SDK updates did, or did not make it into the last build... he was a bit ambiguous. But internal politics, ya know....)
You can always file a bug report. The more people that scream...

Open Sketchup... pulldown the Help menu, choose "Contact Us" ...
... your browser will open, to the Google Sketchup Contact page.
Use the "Bug Report" link, to bring up the form, and fill it out.

I submitted a bug report.

Good news for Mac users. This issue has been reported as fixed in the 8.0M3 release.
and get the latest MR at the SketchUp Downloads page.

I would have loved it if they fixed add_face too. I've found workarounds, so i don't need it now, but still.

The problem isn't fixed at all on mac. I did the test i posted before with the new version. On mac the script runs 250% slower on the new version. On pc the script runs 300% faster on the new version!

Can you post your test code?

You can find the code on page 3
Hi,
after a lot of digging, it appears that your test code will run in 0.8[1..3] seconds on both Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion with free or pro SU v6, v7 or v8, UNLESS you have either of these in your preference list
%(#FF00BF)[<string>OutlinerController</string>
<string>ComponentGBrowserController</string>]
these have no ill effect, but add either of the others and you beach-ball...
%(#00BF00)[<key>OpenInspectors</key>
<array>
<string>PagePanelController</string>
<string>LayerPanelController</string>
<string>StyleBrowserController</string>
<string>SoftenPanelController</string>
<string>EntityInfoController</string>
</array>]
They actually fork the main Thread into a timer loop to make the thumbnails and will do that even if the ruby has run before you open the Inspector. i.e run test code without, then zoom, orbit, make new geometry, etc... turn on 'Components' or 'Outliner' and you'll get a beach-ball.
If 'Components' is run first 'Outliner' opens straight away.john
