      Hi all
      I have just bought a new macbook pro 15", 2gb graphics card, 16 gb ram.

      Once i loaded sketchup 2016 i noticed that the tool icons are tiny and therefore the inference engine and snapping are really hard to use as it will snap to points very near a vertices and not the actual vertices i want.
      Also plane clipping has become an issue as i have to zoom so far in to grab points accurately.
      Generally the platform seems unstable and takes ages to save. I am very disappointed as i thought it would speed up my workflow not make me slower. Is this a software problem as I don't seem to have any problems in cinema 4d, photoshop
      Thanks in advance for any help.
      Z

          No, thank Trimble for being slow to adapt SketchUp for high-dpi displays of any sort.

            So is it that Mac is no good for Sketchup?
            Should i migrate to P.C?
            Also not being able to customise the toolbars is annoying.
            Thanks

              the 4k display is what is the root cause here, some PC's also have those...

              I would consider a secondary display since you have the mac already
