I lately found one other trick to stop format from crashing.
It’s arduous to assemble all of the information about how you can navigate Structure’s velocity bumps. I wished to share the issues that I do, possibly if everybody shares their suggestions, then everybody can entry this data extra rapidly and simply than sorting by means of hours of movies (to not diminish the worth of academic movies).
-
Initially format giant information with fashions in Raster, as a result of that’s the quickest for Structure to deal with.
-
In the primary Default Tray, underneath “Sketchup Mannequin” be certain that the “Auto” field subsequent to Raster/Vector/Hybrid is UNCHECKED. Then Structure won’t attempt to frequently render your mannequin. Then it’s important to manually click on the “Render” button for every viewport after you make adjustments to your mannequin.
-
When Structure crashes whereas making an attempt to render a mannequin, first render it in Raster, then it’s much less prone to crash when switching it to Vector.
-
File > Doc Setup > Paper > Rendering Decision: hold Show Decision to LOW and you may hold Output Decision at HIGH.
-
In case you have a secondary monitor, it may be inflicting Structure to run slower. Once I unplug my secondary monitor, Structure runs quicker.
I do this as effectively, additionally conceal the layers I’m not utilizing, or conceal the viewports I’m not working with.

Didn’t suppose to additionally conceal viewports.
I didn’t know this! I discovered “View” > “Group edit” > “Conceal remainder of doc” – is that it?
Sure that method if you get into a bunch the remainder of the doc gained’t be proven on display. Yo conceal the viewports you need to put them in several layers.

I click on contained in the plan and part viewports in order to contain “panning”, and click on out with none adjustments. That breaks the dwell hyperlink to digicam settings for the scene. So now I do know updating a scene in SU carelessly won’t shift my viewport geometry round. This grew to become very a lot simpler in LO 23 the place “pan” is the default device contained in the viewport.
I additionally hold a small vignette of my undertaking on a separate “on each web page” layer. That’s good aesthetically, however I take advantage of it as a “button”: I proper click on that small viewport and replace my mannequin simply even when all different content material is on locked layers. That’s simpler than going to “doc setup” to replace SU mannequin.
I give “actual map coordinates” utilizing prefix numbers earlier than computerized coordinates in labels, like this pair of UTM coordinates:
7 354 <Coordinates(y)>
461 <Coordinates(x)>
This provides distance from map zero to the coordinates. It’s important to set mannequin origin to suit in order that the final digits given by sketchup provides as much as the right coordinates, clearly.
I reuse scenes to many viewports. All elevations are derived from one SU scene, and I select “front-back-left-right” in customary views for the viewport to set that up. That works so long as not each elevation has its personal part lower to chop terrain proven within the elevation.
I hold SU tags logically organised in folders for primary themes, like: environment, the precise web site, assist geometry, tales folder, all tales (the place all constructing part tags go), in order that I can extra simply override tags for a viewport on tag folder degree.
I take advantage of “at all times face digicam” on grid notation parts, and totally different tags for every grid of various orientation, in order that I can reuse an elevation scene and have numbers not being mirrored. Parallel grids on either side of the constructing are then situations of the identical part.
