It’s been quite a week with technology for me, but I’m confident this is it! Can you guys install this beta, restart SketchUp, then give it a twirl?
Please let me know how it goes on this thread and we can finally ship this version with a few updates and some new drawing sets.
Long story short… We found a bug in SketchUp 2023, primarily on mac, where the Ruby LayOut API in SketchUp crashes on render. We resurrected the old LayOut API that we used before they baked it into ruby and automatically apply this to SketchUp 2018 and lower (which technically we don’t support)… and SketchUp 2023 mac. This beta version checks your SketchUp year and operating system, then applies the appropriate rendering solution for LayOut. On windows, you will see a black box appear for a moment, that’s normal… just let it run.
If you are on windows, and experiencing this crash in SketchUp 2023, or any crash on ConDoc export on mac or windows, you can force the legacy exporter from the Extensions dropdown > ConDoc > Help > Advanced > Use Legacy Export.
