I am not an expert, but this looks like data transfer problem, which means it is connected with HDD, RAM and maybe GPU memory. So, I would check difference between two systems. It would be best to post your hardware profiles here. This is a good tool for that http://www.hwinfo.com/

Running it now.

Here are a couple shots of the model to show what I am working with...

Then I hit Render for Thea Render and it Bugsplatted...
Not a good couple days in SketchUp land for me.

Finally Opened! 1 hour later!
5,573,180K w/ 0% CPU...this sounds high in comparison.

On the semi-virgin machine (just loaded Thea and the trial for Skatter)...the same file that is still trying to load on my machine - loads in seconds and has only gotten up to 589,292k memory usage with 0% CPU currently (because it's not loading I would guess).

What oddness....anyone have any ideas what is going on?

It's now climbed to 6,062,---k Memory usage and flickering between 12-13% CPU usage.
Still hasn't finished opening...or it is locked up and I just don't want to admit it.

I've posted over at Skatter...but I'm not 100% sure that that add-on is causing the issue. I suspect it because the file seems to load on a machine that doesn't have Thea or Skatter installed.
Thea has never given me an issue in the past with the Not Responding on startup.

Is there a way to see what SketchUp is hanging or loading when it sits and spins on startup and gives the (Not Responding) designation.

I'm back to waiting on it to load. I left the file opening last night and remoted in to check on it and it finally had loaded...but this morning after looking at the Skatter setups it finally Bug Splatted on me.

Processes show that Memory (3,841,--- K) and CPU of 13...with Memory varying slightly...so it looks like it isn't locked, just working on something in the background.
Status under the Aplications Tab (Windows Task Manager) does show Not Responding...

I'm beginning to think it is the Skatter plugin - I have 7 skatter/renderings on my list. Does anyone know how to kill them, I did try selecting and hitting the minus sign, but they are still showing up.

Any thoughts on if that would cause a lag in opening or loading?

I'll run off and search to see if I can find a thread on Skatter and the ins and outs...

Well - found a copy that finally will load that has most of my morning's work still intact...will try to carry on with that for now. This one was saved right before the cars were added.

Really curious though why it would open on another machine, but not mine.

I am still carrying around this garbage that I haven't gotten around to fixing. Pops up every time I start the program...more of an annoyance than anything...but figured I would disclose this in case it somehow has any bearing on this issue:

Hi gang...
I've been rolling along in Sketchup 2015 Pro, seeing no real need to upgrade to 2016 yet.

I am working on some final renders/deadline (isn't that when we all have problems?).

I am rendering with Thea, but also just added the Skatter add-on a few days ago. Everything has been going well until I decided to add about 30mb of cars to the scene. It is now (Not Responding) and no matter what version, yesterdays or this mornings...it comes up and just hangs at (Not Responding).

I finally uninstalled 2015...reinstalled and nothing changed...still hangs after loading the files.

After lunch I opened the most recent file on a virgin machine (fresh install of 2015...without Skatter or Thea) and it opened and I was able to move around just fine. Was able to remove the cars and block them to another drawing file - purged and checked for errors (did find some looping error)...then I saved it as a new file.
Went back to my machine...open new file and it hangs after loading the file again....still sitting here laughing at me with the (not Responding) sitting in its title on the header.

I even tried saving down to 2014 from the virgin machine and tried to open on 2014 on my machine and it locks.

Any ideas or is this just Murphy's Law in full effect!?

Venue pics...sorry, not many people pics.
Next time I bring a separate camera or larger battery for the phone.

Marvin's dad, did I meet you here?

Sitting here waiting to do my unconference in 15 minutes. Kind of sad to be leaving afterward.

You could have - Antoine De Hon is my real name. We might have eaten together.
Which Unconference did you host?

We might have been eating at the same table for the final lunch - did you have a red name tag?

I'm guessing there might be a thread on this already...but they did release an iPad app.
Been a great time...lookk my forward to some unconferences this morning.

I finally made it! Took 3-4 hours for the 5:30 shuttle to make it...but we did!
Saw Mayor Mike holding court at the bar when I arrived at my room and looked from the 2nd floor to see who all was in the bar that I recognized.

Must get fooood...checking out the restaurant!

Congrats!!

I'm in! Just need to book lodging and transportation.

So, most folks are coming in Sunday evening?

So glad I happened by Google+ the other day to see Base Camp 2014 reposted there!
Planning on making the trip, can't believe I missed the last one.
