      It's obvious this is a fantastic program but why on earth cripple it with a 32 bit ram limitation??

      Not even that, I am trying to combine to components I've made in separate instances but it won't go through because the programs stops at 1GB of ram usage. Not even the full amount of the 32bit address space, and yes I have plenty of RAM.

      So what is the deal, when is a 64 bit version coming out?? This is completely unacceptable for such a first-class software.

        Old news unfortunately. This has been repeatedly discussed, like here: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=33788&start=0

        Comfortably numb...

          "Program stops"? It crashes?

          And at only 1GB? Then it's not a 32bit limitation. As you said, it's way before the 32bit limit. Which normally is at around 2GB. With SU8M1 under a 64bit OS this is now 4GB - because they enable the large address aware flag.

          Now, what is the size of the model you have? Faces, edges, groups components etc? The only time I ever ran into such memory usage has been when rendering with V-Ray. Without I have never ever ran into memory limitation with SketchUp. And then I've used models with 2million faces and lots of textures...
