      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!!!

                                      Much to my surprise, SketchUp 7 DOES NOT FIX THIS. This patch is still useful with SketchUp 7.

                                          yeaah!

                                          this is what i was looking for πŸ˜„

                                          just install, restart sketch up(6), and it works πŸ˜„

                                          thank you!

                                            Hi, all -

                                            After some discussion, and me having tested on PC and Mac, our suggestion on Mac is going to be what happens on the PC by default, and that is to turn off hw acceleration (Preferences->OpenGL). With both fast feedback and hw acceleration on PC, things are pretty ugly as well. We've been in contact with Apple on this issue (after the original driver in Leopard causing a hang). If you look at http://developer.apple.com/graphicsimaging/opengl/capabilities/ this card only supports OpenGL 1.2, which is a concern if this a machine you're trying to make your living on. I'd like to thank inio for an INCREDIBLE job of filing a fix for this, but right now I can't convince enough people that this needs immediate fixing. Sorry, and thanks for the comments.

                                            Barry
