2016 crashes on closing
-
SketchUp 2016 crashes when closing a file and hangs if quitting. Unloaded all plugins and extensions, set template to standard issue version. Closed all other programs and restarted computer.
I don't have access to 2016 installer to re-install. I could try "upgrading" but this would set in motion other problems with workflow and colleagues.

Try running SU 2016 without plugins. If that works copy half of the plugins and restart. If that works try with the other half of plugins and so on. That way you can nail down if a plugin conflict is causing the issue.

After suffering with it for a while and being stuck with multiple files open, I decided to try 2019 and hope I can manage to still work with people.
Eventually 2016 stopped loading all the crashed files everytime--just loading one at a time, but now just crashes randomly.

Thanks! I DID run without plugins and stripped down whatever I could, running a generic template file (then that file was added to my files that reload each time!)
I would guess this is related to upgrading to High Sierra but it didn't happen until 2 weeks after that. So I decided, heck, finish the job and go to Mojave OS. Then that didn't help so I went to SU 2019. And after hanging on the first try, that looks pretty good. Now despite some crashes, 2016 closes OK... sometimes... after all that, what, can it heal itself???
After 3 years (versions) I have to say there ARE some nice changes piled up that look good for the Mac. AA is good now, it does seem a little snappier and smoother, and crashed files will not be loaded on restart supposedly. And they made it for Mojave. I like that they finally made the extensions manager into a sensible dialog window-- though after loading Sketchucation Tools I don't look at it much again.
