@dannjosef08

Could you first advise on:

which version of Sketchup and platform (Mac, Windows)?
which ThruPaint (standalone or part of FredoTools)?
what is exactly the problem? (do you see the menu entry for ThurPaint...)

In any case, make sure that you upgraded to the latest version of LibFredo6, especially if you are running SU2024.

When Thrupaint is turned on, the sketchup stops for about a minute.

This is not the case with a new file that does not have a material.

This was not the case with files with more than 100 materials before.

Recently, this phenomenon has been severe.

Does anyone know a solution?

@madrhyno

Could you be more accurate on describing the issue:

what do you mean by 'ThruPaint turned on'?
what is the error you get: crash with or without bug splat, freeze, long time waiting, ....?

@fredo6
I'm sorry, I'm using a translator, so the sentence may not be smooth.

"ThruPaint turned on" means that I press the "ThruPaint - Paint Faces" icon.

The symptom I experience is a long wait.

I have to look at the white screen as shown in the screenshot and wait about a minute with the "Please Wait" text coming up.

Could you invoke the menu Window > LibFredo6 Settings...> Fredo6 Plugins information for Sketchucation Support.

This will allow me to understand in which environment and versions you are. It may be problem of installation of my plugins.

@fredo6
I share what you said as a screenshot.
I would appreciate it if you could refer to it and tell me how to solve it.

Actually, the version was low, so I just updated it.
After restarting sketchup, I tried thrupaint again.
But the symptoms still exist.

madrhyno

It's a symptom that wasn't experienced in the old version of thrupaint.
Is it possible to use the previous version?

@madrhyno Did you purchase a license for ThruPaint

madrhyno

@Rich-O-Brien

Is there a separate paid license for thrupaint?
It is thought to be included in the visuhole license, but it has not yet been activated.
I'll try to activate it and try again.

Rich O Brien

@madrhyno I believe Fredo went commercial with ThruPaint at the beginning of the month.

madrhyno

@Rich-O-Brien

Checked it.
You have purchased a license for "thrupaint".

I tried "thrupaint" again after activation after purchase, but the loading time is still long.

Could you open and leave the Ryb console before you invoke ThruPaint, in case there are errors displayed.

Also, did it already work on SU2024 for you? That is:

did you upgrade to SU2024 and it does not work any longer?
or did you upgrade to ThruPaint v2.4a and it does not work any longer?

madrhyno

@fredo6

I am currently using the 2024 version.
Thrupaint is also using the 2.4a version.
I've been using it for about five weeks,
Recently, these symptoms started two weeks ago.

As you said, I checked the ruby console
It looks like there's a collision with something related to the D5 render.

madrhyno

@fredo6
I tried it for testing.

Sketchup 2021 version with D5 + Thrupaint old version (old version with menu bar on top without new window)
I did the same in the above situation.

When I pressed the Thrupaint button, nothing came out of the Ruby console at the time.
Even the loading speed is fast!!! Important!!!

However, when I color certain sides, the same message as before appears on the Ruby console.
However, the results come out well, and the speed is still high.

In conclusion, I think the content that appears on the Ruby Console has nothing to do with the loading speed.
