@FlawinneF I took the path of least resistance and removed PB4 and it worked. I only had the trial version so it's no bother for me to lose it.

RE: SU24 Crashing on startup.
@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich, if removing Profile Builder doesn't fix it for me then I'll reluctantly go through this somewhat laborious process

RE: SU24 Crashing on startup.
@FlawinneF I understood a small amount of what was said, but enough to put 2 and 2 together to understand that PB4 which has only recently been installed, is most likely to be the problem. Thank you.

Any thoughts?
Rename your Plugins to say ####Plugins to prevent it loading. Start SketchUp and a new Plugins folder will be created.
If it starts then you can safely say there's a conflict at play.
Then comes the narrowing down process......
Sorry, can you dumb that down to the lowest possible level for me please , I'm not sure what you're asking me to do.

SU24 Crashing on startup.
My Sketchup has started behaving oddly this week, sometimes it just crashes within seconds of being started, I don't get past the welcome screen and it just bugsplats, but it doesn't do it every time. Any thoughts?

RE: Purge is crashing SU2024
@TIG It's definitely installed correctly following me doing exactly as you described for 2023 version issues. It must either be the primary template I use for most projects (was fine in 2023), or that Sketchucation 4.2.9 is an unsupported extension and causing some kind of problem - that seems a bit of a stretch though.

Purge is crashing SU2024
Initially I assumed there was an issue with the model I was working on, but it's every model I'm working on: Model Info > Statistics > Purge Unused = crash.

@TIG Thanks for your collective wisdom folks, your efforts are appreciated.

RE: Upgraded PC but now can't export
@Dave-R I don't want to get too carried away with excitement, but I might have inadvertently fixed it (one trial pdf so far and it was fine), all I did was set Sketchup to use my Nvidia GPU rather than 'let windows decide' which seems to choose the weedy little native Intel GPU by default for some daft reason.

@grizzler Let's get @Dave-R [re]involved, he's better at Layout than me...
Consider the buck passed , unlucky @Dave-R , Tig has drawn the short straw for you

RE: Upgraded PC but now can't export
@grizzler Could any of this be caused by my programs being located on one SSD and my project files being on another? I can't imagine that's the problem but I'm desperately clutching at straws now.

RE: Upgraded PC but now can't export
@grizzler There's another issue I've just realised too, if I open a layout file from my old PC to save as a revised version of a project, it won't let me relink to the newer file version. I'm having a bit of a nightmare with this 🫤

@grizzler Have you also tried adjusting the Layout settings as @Dave-R Dave suggested ?
Output Override was already unchecked by default

@grizzler You can download a suitable installer, up to 3 versions backwards, for your Computer from here...
https://help.sketchup.com/en/downloading-sketchup
If you are running an even older version then there are some sites with archived downloads that we could point you to...
You don't need to uninstall SketchUp - just Repair it...I've done as you suggested, run the 'repair' as an admin and then restarted my PC. Firstly I opened an old project that I migrated from my previous PC and that exported - it was very slow considering my new PC is 10 times better than my old one, but it did it. Then I tried on the new project created entirely on my new PC and the same issue came up as before. Does that give you any clues as to what it might be?

@TIG said in Upgraded PC but now can't export:
@grizzler When you [re]installed SketchUp/Layout did you do it properly.
If not then you can repair it without affecting anything you've got set up.
Close SketchUp/Layout.
Find the SketchUp installer's exe file - usually in your Downloads folder.
Select the exe file's icon, right-click > context-menu > "Run as administrator"
When prompted choose "Repair".
When it completes restart your computer and see is SketchUp/Layout now works as you expect...
Running a complex app's installer's exe file by double-clicking it to 'Run' it is not the same thing, even if you have admin powers.Argh! In a bid to keep my PC as fast and efficient as possible, I delete all unnecessary files so I no longer have the installation file. I've just tried to 'repair' in the control panel of windows but it's not an option and there doesn't seem to be the option to repair or re-download the file if I log into my account online either. Any suggestions please? I really don't want to have to re-install Sketchup too as it's a real pain setting it back up exactly as I like it.

RE: Upgraded PC but now can't export
@Dave-R said in Upgraded PC but now can't export:
@grizzler what version of SketchUp/LayOut are you using? If it's 2023 try unticking the Override box in Document Setup>Rendering and then export.
Where are you exporting the file to? Is it a cloud location?
Yes I'm on the latest version and the box was already unticked by default

Upgraded PC but now can't export
Please can you help, I can't export from Layout in any format, the progress bar appears but then nothing happens until it eventually says 'not responding'. There must be a setting or permission I need to change, but I don't know where to begin.

Is VERAS coming to SU?
Does anyone know if VERAS will be heading our way? It's in Beta over on Revit and it'd be awesome if we got it too.

RE: Which instant renderer is best for Landscape projects?
@ntxdave said:
BTW D5 Render is also a ray tracing application.
Looks like the real question is the application engine and the gpu in your system. Learning some interesting things about rendering/render engines in this thread.
Twinmotion is also capable of raytracing as of the last few months, but they are both better known as instant renderers as they will never match the realism possible within v-ray, corona or Unreal Engine etc.
It all comes down to the vegetation asset library available in the fully licensed version of each, and as yet I don't know how they compare and I'd hate to shell out money to then find the other one is better

...Blender EEVEE engine is realtime too. There's a build on Graphicall that has SSGI for EEVEE that's really quick to work with.
Don't forget Enscape which is part of the Chaos family.
They all have strengths and weaknesses. I think at the moment Enscape ticks the most boxes. Until we see TwinMotion move to UE 5.1.
Blender looks awesome for those who create models of individual items, but I spend all of my time creating bespoke terrains for construction by others which is why I loved the SU/Layout/Enscape interoperability. Chaos buying Enscape has many of us Enscape users concerned because all of the focus seems to be on enhancing v-ray (including Vantage and Vision) rather than improving Enscape - Twinmotion and D5 have left Enscape in their dust during the last 12 months, so I'm hoping there might just be one or two who have had the opportunity to try out the full versions of both and can guide me. My first instinct is TM, but one thing that 99% of jobs that I do includes is grass, and the TM grass is annoying to say the least.
I know very little about Unreal Engine other than it is quite complicated but the end results are spectacular when done right, but I have no need for such high level of detail personally
