"You are the first in over 10 years I've ever seen make a comment about setting UTC per scene."

Well, I'll be the second one in 13 years then, to comment on this.

I find it very unintuitive, that it is visually a part of the Shadow dialog box, but isn't included in the scene settings under shadows.

I just stumbled onto this by mistake, but nearly did a sun/shadow-analysis with 5 or 10 scenes showing the shadows 1 hour wrong (DST). This might, worst case scenario, have resulted in lawsuits regarding loss of an hour of evening sun, as a result of a building being built on incorrect documentation.

Yes, I'll file a "feature" request..

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply.

It's no problem sharing the model, but as I copied the model to my "Public" dropbox-folder to make you a link, the problem seems to have disappeared during duplicating, moving and renaming. I opened the model (Model.skp) to check it before sending it, deleted one single line and saved. Now saving only takes about two seconds, with the duplicated model.

I tried to make the same adjustments in the original model (Opptegnet 0,3.skp), but the saving still took about 30 seconds. I tried changing the filename to "Model.skp", doing the same adjustment again, and this seems to have worked in the same location, with the original file. I've renamed it back to "Opptegnet 0,3.skp" again now, and it seems to work fine still.

I can't make much sense of this, but I'm happy that it seems to work fine.

I'll let the model stay in my public-folder for a couple of days if you still want to have a look at the file.

Hi,

I'm experiencing that SketchUp takes 30 seconds (timed) to save my modest 2,1 MB model to my MacBook Air's 150-200 MB/s SSD (tested under same conditions). The model consists of 9668 edges, 3085 faces of which 242 components and 84 groups. And there are two textures in the model.

I can't figure out why it takes so long, and it really decreases my efficiency, especially with auto-save turned on. Auto-save has over and over again shown it's good value (even on a daily basis in periods, when my models and SU has often been disagreeing with each other), so I would prefer to keep this running and fix the slow saving issue.

Are any of you experiencing the same kind problems, even after upgrading to Trimble's 2013 version?

Cheers,
Fredrik
