Performance Drop in SketchUp After Installing Extensions
-
Hi all,
I’ve been running into a performance issue with SketchUp on Windows 11. After installing several popular extensions (Fredo Tools, Curviloft, and JointPushPull), my models start to lag significantly—even when geometry is relatively light. Orbiting and zooming feels sluggish compared to a fresh SketchUp install.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
Updated GPU drivers (NVIDIA RTX series).
Disabled hardware acceleration → no noticeable improvement.
Opened the same file in a clean profile → performance was fine.
So it seems like the slowdown is directly tied to extension load.
Is this a known limitation with certain plugins, or could it be a conflict between extensions? Any recommendations for optimizing performance without giving up key tools?
Thanks in advance for the insights!
