Layout is taking upwards of 10 minutes to update references and has been crashing 3 or 4 times when I try to open the file and update it.
The past two weeks or so I’ve been opening drawings, which has been taking 30 minutes for a file @ 193,000kb
The software keeps crashing any time i download mesh of any kind and it slows down the program as well.
I have a 100mb SketchUp file (~1000’ x 1500’ site model) that is causing my workstation to crash regularly and is slow to navigate around.
Sketchup crashes every time I attempt to import anything useful.
