Sticky Model

tspco

Is there a way to make a model un-sticky with 2013/2014, I didn't have this problem with 8. Here is the situation, even with a simple model, 4 walls a floor and a roof, if the walls are painted with certain materials, such as some from the warehouse, even just paint colors, from certain companies, when I orbit the model stalls,so I have to wait, for things to respond, it is becoming a pain.
I know a new computer with a 6 core processor and a super-duper graphics card and 10 gig of ram might help, but that is just not in the budget. Thoughts/suggestions?

By "sticky", then, you mean that orbiting is sluggish? Did you try to change OpenGL settings, e.g. turn off Hardware Acceleration to see if you get any change in behavior? Have you tried SU2015? Is the behavior different with it?

Maybe you could post an example SKP file that exhibits the behavior?

tspco

I tried turning off the hardware acceleration with 2014, no difference. Yes I can post a skp give me a few

That figures, even with the first material I used no issues at this time, makes me wonder if there is something running in the background on my machine that is causing the issue, anyway i will post the model I was having problems with

Yep, no problem here (on a Mac). Where'd you get that shingle material? (CAD-like)

Shingle material here https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=7073464400b5358ad9971415b0eb153a

I'm not having any issues with orbiting or panning it either. The materials sometimes drop out to just colors while orbiting but that is expected behavior.

tspco

I don't get it either, if the materials just dropped out to color predictably, I also would consider that expected behavior.

Dave R

Might be your GPU. In fact it probably is related to the GPU. If you change to Monochrome faces style, do you still see the "sticky" behavior?

tspco

If it would mess up again I could try that, but it is fine at this time.

Dave R

Must be the way you are holding your tongue or the way you are sitting.

Smooth as a baby's bum for me.

Maybe you didn't restart SketchUp at first, thus no changes in the behavior.
Once you restarted the program (at certain time) you'd notice changes from turning off 'Use hardware acceleration. Just a guess.

To see if this is true, enable 'Use hardware acceleration' again and restart SketchUp. Do you have the same display issue again? If so, find another driver for your graphics card to better support OpenGL.
Why? You do want to benefit working with that card (and not just the CPU) to run SketchUp at full speed.
