Hi everyone,

I'm facing a slowness problem when modeling with SU.
My SketchUp sometimes gets slow, like "slow motion" or delay.

It's a bit strange because
this delay happens only at some times and not necessarily on large files and complex operations.

Does anyone know the reason for this delay issue?

Thanks in advance!

Ps. My cpu configuration is: i7 processor, 8GB RAM and AMD Radeon HD 6670.

Hi everyone!
Thanks for reply (and sorry for my late reply...)

Mitcorb, I thought that the image was attached in the first message, anyway I’m sending now the image illustrating this issue.

Cotty, thanks for sending a vídeo trying to help me...
But I’m facing this problem (or maybe a SU behavior) with small faces, when trying to model then separately.

Krisidious, your modeling tip works just fine.

Thanks a lot!

Hi!

I’m facing a problem when modeling walls from a DWG base.

After importing the base (DWG), grouping it, drawing the rectangle and using the PushPull, the wall is reversed and empty at the base (no face).

Basically, sometimes, the wall segment is created with reverse faces and base empty and others, the wall have normal behavior (faces OK).

Attached an example.

Does anyone know why this happens, and how can I avoid it?

Thanks.

Hi andybot and Devin,

Thanks for reply.
Maybe it's time to upgrade my v-ray version...

Hi,

Recently I tried to install my V-ray 1.49 in the new SU 2014, but the SU did not recognized
the plug-in.

Has anyone had success when trying to install Vray 1.49 in SketchUp 2014?
It's compatible?

Thanks.

Hi TIG!

Thanks for reply.

I followed your suggestion and when I saved the component directly from the Components Browser (save as) it worked just fine!

Also thanks for the tips about the instances context.

Hi,

In the last days, I'm trying to create a custom component library for my architectural projects (with models that I aways use).

I separated the models in different files and in each one I regulated the GLUE TO option for alignment where each piece should enter in the model
(for example, a frame in vertical alignment, a carpet in horizontal, etc...).

I created a new folder and organized all components edited on it, then I pasted the folder in the SketchUp components folder(Local C).
Well, when I opened a new file, the folder containing the components is loaded, however all the alignments are set back to default (none).

Is this a SketchUp (SketchUp Pro 2013, by the way) normal behavior?
I really can not save a Glue To pre-configuration in the components library?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for reply!

Hello,

Please, I would like some advice on how to proceed to get in touch with a developer/Ruby programmer to order the creation of a customized and very specific SketchUp plug-in.

Someone already made this kind of customization? It is possible?

Thanks.
