Hey
I'm using sketchup on a macbook -- the program runs fine for about 5 minutes and then starts lagging like crazy. If I quit and reopen it, it's again fine for 5 minutes and then i get that stupid rainbow circle after every move
is there something i can do to make sketchup run smoother?
unfortunately it sounds as though there might be something going on besides just SketchUp. either hardware or software incompatibility. you might try checking to make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your graphics card. you can also try experimenting with different combinations of the Open GL options in the SketchUp Preferences Pane (PC: Window > Preferences > Open GL) (MAC: SketchUp > Preferences > Open GL)
if that doesn't help you've probably got some kind of an issue that is best suited for tech support. have you tried filling out a tech support inquiry on the SKP site yet?
