      inio you are a Genius

      I sometimes like to use my girlfriend's macbook at home (I normally use a MacPro at work) and found the hang time on SU was just unbearable.

      Your fix has totally sorted it; amazing... how come Google don't sort this on a release, or even put your patch on the help site?

      It is even making me wonder whether to save the cash on the difference between buying a MacBook Pro vs MacBook for my home machine...

        Hi,

        I'm on a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz with Mac OS X 10.5.2 and using SketchUp 6.4.120 (latest version, far as I know).
        Both with and without the patch, I'm getting full system hangs periodically, usually when I pan or orbit. It's not completely debilitating, but it is of course kind of annoying...

        If I leave the system when it hangs, it still seems to save out an Autosave file, but it's otherwise completely unresponsive. Does this sound like the same issue or something different?

        (Also, with the patch installed, I would occasionally get a similar system hang in Adobe InDesign CS3 when switching palettes around...)

        Thanks!

        David

          i'm also getting the hang... 10.5.2 w/all updates + SU 6.4.120

          i notice it in two situations:

          1. if there is an image imported. this causes a hang that requires a hard restart about every 15-20 min.
          2. the beach ball hang... which i can't define with specific actions, but happens pretty frequently hanging for 10-60 seconds at a time.

          anyone talk to google?

          i just installed the thaw-up... thanks! i'll post my results...

            I've been looking for a way to sort that beachballing bonanza every time I selected something in Sketchup with a rectangular selection on my Mac Mini Dual-Core. This worked like a charm! The selection is now almost instant!

            Thanks a lot for working out this great patch!

                You may need to restart, or at lest log out, after installing it for it to take effect.

                  I too am getting OS X Leopard SU instability and lockups. Mainly due to using the pushpull tool - I think. The fact that people are still posting about this 5 months after you uploaded your fix, leads me to believe that the latest updates haven't fixed the issue. I'm going to try it and see if things improve, even though my issues don't seem to be the same.

                  Thanks for the time you have spent on this inio!

                    Yeah, I'm a little surprised this issue hasn't been fixed yet. Three OS updates (four if you count the "Graphics Update") and one SketchUp update later :/.

                    (BTW, confirmed to be needed with 10.5.3)

                      hiya

                      currently using macbook pro running su pro 6 and 10.5.3

                      mine hangs when just rotating simple models

                      i assume your fix may help address this - is it a problem you've found

                          Still having the same problem here!
                          OSx 10.5.4 ans sketchup pro.

                          Sketchups hangs when rotating a model.

                          The patch was no help at all, so far, If I disable airport, the problem disapears, no clue what this is!!

                            No clue as to why is Aiport the culprit, but I found this hint online and tried it, and seems to work!

                            Disabling airport for some minutes before opening SU solves the problem. After a while I can activate airport again, and continue working.

                            Tried to use little snitch to block SU, but not sure if it works or not.

                            Not sure but this problem seems to be mainly on old files, on those created on OS 10.4, new ones don't seem to be afected.

                            Anyone with simmilar issues?

                                    Are you talking about the file referenced in the first post? or is this another file?

                                      I think I finaly solved the problem, just leave hardware acceleration ON but fast reponse OFF.

                                      NO more problems for more than a week!

                                      Thank you all.

                                          thank you so much for this. i have been absolutely depressed about not being able to use sketchup without vmware, as it is an important development tool for me. i'm glad i bothered to search around, and i'm very grateful for the member of the community who took the time to help with this serious problem. i have my favorite 3d app back! thaaaaank you!!!
