So far, RoundCorner seems the be the biggest crasher for me with VR 1.6. I just work with it disabled until they find the bug that's causing it. They are working on it feverishly.

Look like a over loaded gray out condition of use of memory, alot of features disapper when memory hits limits

Make two copy skeckup 8 one with no plugins (in plugin folder) for the layout, and the other (with plugins) for editing objects. (to layout)

Start the object sketchup first,
Then open layout sketchup.
Do your work:
When done close layout sketchup first,
Then close object sketchup last

also

A Fix for some startup Sketchup splats:
Clean out the reg of google sketchup 8 toolbars useing registry editor and wordpad then open only the plugins you need.
You may had a 1000 listed witch loads to ram memory evey time it loads often cause sketchup to splat.

(hint) keep a copy of of google sketchup 8 reg save to fix problems later

Thanks! I knew I wasn't crazy....

Sorry, it was not yourimage but Imageshack. It loads extremely slowly (probably also depending on geographical location) or for some, it does not load at all. Then if it loads, it gets embedded in that website where eventually it displays very small...

Anyway, best is to attach it straight here (below the text area you type your message). This also have the advantage that it will remain here (unlike images of some people who delete them from time to time on external sources).

Your tip of closing SU and reopening sounds interesting; 👍 next time I'll try (I also have more than enough toolbars - in 5 rows above my SU screen).

This is killing me...

The fact that I can right click a material, means I can't "forcefully remove" a material (and convert existing faces to default).
Well, I can actually right click, but after freezing for about 10 seconds, the context menu appears and disappears really fast before I can click... 👊
It only seems to be a problem with "large" models.
