...6 core, 16go, 2go graphic card...

sorry, but the 2GB doesn't say anything about the speed of the card. And do you mean a "real" Intel 6-core or an AMD?

Maybe you can post your specs to see if it can be improved.
And the model size (polys/MB) would also be helpful...

Yeah 2gb doesn't help the speed but I think it can work better on big model.
Which specs you want ? My computer ?

• intel i7 3930K@4.2 ghz (6 cores, 12 threads)

• 16 gb ddr3

• GTX 670 Evga 2gb

• the size of the model is 28.1 mo

Hi pbacot

One case where this could be a problem is if you wish to navigate a model in a presentation to a client, with shadows etc. "on".

This is exactly my problem
I think i'll buy SU pro version and do some animation but this is not also effective as live navigation.

Hi Tim, thanks for your reply and welcome

Hi, Anatole:
Sketchup 8 is a 32 bit single core program. It does not engage the graphics card in its processing of geometry.

I knew sketchup is a single core program and I feel bad it exist in year 2013, hope it will be changed soon ! But are you sure the graphic card is not engaged ? Or just for anti-aliazing ? I don't understand; i'll go check the forum.

It seems that you are saying that while orbiting or navigating in the model,

Yes !

@mitcorb said:

If the model file is large, multi-megabytes, such as may be in large topography, with buildings, roads etc., Sketchup momentarily turns off faces and textures until the camera comes to rest.

Finally, you seem I can have powerfull computer it will be useless ?
It hurts !!

Hi,

Sketchup is my favorite 3D soft but something irritate me !

Can someone explain me why it's not possible to keep texture and shadow when i move the camera ? I have good informatic components (6 core, 16go, 2go graphic card), i really don't understand

Can I set something ?

Apologize for my english
