I uninstalled and redownloaded from Sketchup site and opened again and drew a simple form and clicked on "File" and it crashed again. I opened program again and clicked on "File" to open a Sketchup file and then clicked on "File" again and it immediately crashed.

I never had this problem before and I have been using the program since at least version 4.o starting in about the year 2004 or 5.

Thanks for the reply Dave. I don't have any added plugins. I downloaded the program and started using it and have been getting shut downs after a short time. It happens when I click on "File" a second time.

I went back to evaluation and as soon as I tried to open a new file I got another bug splat.

Is Sketchup 2013 an unstable program? It has shut every time I try it.

Thanks Dave R (A name sake)I turned off Hardware Acceleration and the small blue circle now appears. I will continue my evaluation. Thanks for your help.

I love Sketchup, have been using it since Sketchup 4.0. It has been a god send of designing furniture and home remodeling layouts.

Thank you TIG for quick reply. I was able to 'raise' using the move tool as you suggested. I did notice that the snap to mid point is not working as it should. The small circle does not appear as it does in previous versions. I can find the midpoint if I move cursor to point close to center and start drawing line but circle snap indicator never appears. Should I install again to get proper function.

I also wonder why I got so many program freeze ups in only a few minutes of use?

Sorry, I posted earlier today and said I could not search forum. I must have been in the premium section I later found I could search in the not premium forum.

Sorry for not checking things our thoroughly.

I am a sketchup pro owner but have not upgraded to SU 2013. I downloaded Sketchup make to evaluate and have had 2 or three bug splats in about 1/2 hours of use just drawing simple forms. I also find the no snap to center point of lines. Also can't draw pyramid or raise a simple roof because the point or line can not be selected over the adjacent surface.

I also find it irritation that this forum is here with no ability to search.
