Ok I made some more tests, sketchup doesn't bug completely, it just takes ages too delete everything, I've let my computer run for a couple of hours and when I looked back it was deleted so I don't know how long it takes exactly.

I'm working on huge projects modelled in archicad and saved in sketchup. Sometimes I get an update from the file from the client and want to replace the exisiting model with the new one, in this file just deleting the old model takes forever so importing the new one is also a problem.

Is there a way to delete everything from a sketchup file while keeping all the scenes and thearender settings attached to those? I want to delete all my objects but when I do that sketchup hangs, even if I do it in small portions, it looks like I should select all objects and deleting them one by one, which would take ages as it's a huge file

Thanks! I'll try that to see if it helps

The problem is that I want to have the old version also in my file. I hope someone found a workaround for this and is willing to share as some of my projects are quite large and really take a huge amount of time to import, sometimes I even have to stop it because it freezes SketchUp completely for a couple of hours.

For now I import it in another file and then import it piece by piece but this is very time-intensive..

sketchup pro 2018 BUG

When I import a dwg from rhino or revit in sketchup it imports fine and takes an instant to import. When I re-import an updated version of the dwg in the same sketchup file it takes forever, sometimes 15 minutes, sometimes more (hours).

Does this happen to you guys also? Is there a solution for this? Like maybe importing the updated dwg file in an empty sketchup file and then batch-changing all the names of the components or layers?
I don't know if it would change anything but I suspect it comes from the fact that it's the same component that gets re-imported.

Any help would be appreciated!

Do you have a budget?
What are you using it for? Rendering/photoshop/indesign/sketchup/revit/...

Can someone send me the plugin?

Just installed this plugin through sketchucation tools, works fine though when I press enter nothing happens, must be missing something here....?

same here in su 2018, any solution for this?

I was looking into this last week. For me I think I would take the benq sw2700pt. Good résolution, very good and accurate colors, colorcalibrated from the factory, protection against the 'blue' light of the screen that seems the most damaging for your eyes,...

I personnally would take this one as my main job is to produce renders so coloraccuracy is a must. It depends on what you value most: design, price, colors, resolution,...
