I love sketchup like a lot of people do, but if Trimble keeps ignoring this issues at some point we’ll have to leave the software and move on to a better optimized one. But according to other people it’s not just an API problem, sketchup renderer must be optimized, it’s something that users have being asking for a long time, I don’t know if Trimble just doesn’t care at all about it, or if they’re having issues trying to improve their software, this company is absurdly secretive with this things, a lot of other programs have a public roadmap so users can see what’s coming and evaluate if it’s worthy keep using the software or not. There are lot of threads discussing the same, the performance of sketchup and layout hasn’t improved in 10 years, I’m not a software engineer and I’m not sure what’s the problem, I thought it could be the API sketchup uses, OpenGL, cause other softwares like blender and Archicad ported their programs to Metal, the native API in MacOS, and the performance boost is huge. I know all about Raster/ Hybrid mode helping to speed up things but todays scenario was simply using jpgs and annotations. I find when I need to save multiple versions of a model layout has a really difficult time keeping track of what is supposed to be linked. I love Layout but I really hope they work on the performance as well as integrating it more with Sketchup so we don’t need to link the model.
I quit the program and jumped over to Apple’s PAGES app and finished it in about 5 minutes. Just today I needed to make a simple document where I had 4 model view jpgs that I need to quickly annotate for a meeting and as soon as I dragged the images in and started making my text boxes and adding arrows the spinning rainbow would start. I know I am not the only one as several colleagues have completely abandoned SKP for Rhino or will use a workaround to annotate in adobe Illustrator. I feel like it worked much better 6-7 years ago on an older MAC that had less RAM & slower processor. I have been using SKP & Layout for years in the entertainment industry.
