I'm having this same issue. Try to print to Bluebeam PDF. Monitors will just go black without warning. It's a graphics issue. I hit ENTER and I get the monitors up and running again. At that point I see an error window: NVIDIA OpenGL Driver The NVIDIA Open GL Driver lost connection with the display driver due to exceeding the Windows Time-Out limit and is unable to continue. the application must close. Error code: 7 Would you like to visit http://nvidia.custhelp....blah blah blah 2015 SU Pro. Dell with Intel(R) Xeon (R) CPU E5-1620 v2 @ 3.70 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 64 bit OS Windows 7 Pro sp1

First, if it bug splats, send the error report, and ideally open a support ticket including a file with the problem so they can take a look. This is the way that bugs (eventually) get fixed, though obviously that's not going to help you in the short term. I have no idea what the actual problem is, but here are some vague things that may help you: Reboot your PC. It works more often than it should. Play around with your SketchUp preferences, there might be something in there causing a problem. Download and run CCleaner, it will wipe your caches, that might help if you're lucky. Reinstall SketchUp. Check your hardware, there are various utilities online for different components. It's unlikely, but faulty hardware is a possible cause.

Haven't thought of that, thank you very much good sir!

Fredo also has 'Remove Lonely Vertices'... http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=332047#p332047 Which is part of 'FredoTools'... http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=FredoTools

I have SSD and 2TB HHD like you and I cannot see any significant difference although speed test would probably show some. Unlike x86 where the RAM is split between the kernel and su so each would get 2 GB, for 64 bit SU can use all of 4 GB. Some M boards have some BIOS option you can set that may help; look for some thing like"use max memory" and turn off( prevents the kerenel for hogging memory), look for " use shared memory and turn on". You best bet is to reduce the rendering load when you are modeling like use layers, monochrome, scenes and use textures for show and tell. Previously I have found turning transparency off helped a lots but have not checked for a long time.

Sounds like a bug.. you'd think it would be safer to use a timstamp in the name of the "temp" skb file.

Excellent work mrjumpmanv2, if that is your real name I am enjoying indeed... or else what???
