Thanks for the reply.

The problem I am facing now is that all the actions involving the curves or complex plugins cause my sketchup to stop responding (not crash-sorry for misusing the term earlier).

My office computer, windows version, seems to work perfectly fine when i perform the similar actions. They usually take just seconds to complete, but on my macbook, the longest I waited was about 2 hours and it still wasn't responding.

I have tried simple geometry just to get the plugin to work. Like trying to get a rectangle to bend along an arc in shape bender. No shadows or materials, working on a new file. It always get stuck at "finalizing all bends".

Would a reinstall of my sketchup help? Everything else works fine though. Just the mentioned problems with the plugins.

Hi all,

My sketchup (mac) stops responding whenever i am using more "complex" and curve-related plugins such as shape bender, round corners and fredo scale. For instance, when using shape bender, it stops responding when finalizing all bends, and the rainbow cursor comes out.

I've tried creating a new file and turning off all other plugins, loading just the one in use, but to no avail.

I'm currently running on:
macbook pro 8gb ram,
2.4ghz osx lion v10.7.4
sketchup pro 8.03

How can i stop it from crashing? Any help would be really appreciated.

Cheers,
Darren.
