How one models and uses tags, groups, components, styles, scenes and raw geometry has more to do with the slowness of Layout than any other factor we have seen. This bears out it almost every thread on this forum. Layout problems typically come from Sketchup modeling errors or incomplete knowledge of the software.

I would highly recommend you let DaveR at your file. He will get you sorted in no time, Im sure. If you want to hire some professional freelancers to take your Sketchup/Layout game to the next level and make it make money for you, check out www. sloped.io. Maybe we have a solution for you.

As a Mac user, I decided a few years back to never upgrade to the latest OS until 6 months had passed and I have also done the same now with Sketchup. The first three months of any release are not enjoyable.

I have gotten around the Layout scrolling issue on the Mac by mapping zoom to extents and zoom to object on my mouse. No scrolling anymore really which is where I had the most slow down issues 4-5 years ago.

Sketchup staff are willing to acknowledge that Layout has speed issues. Its not a secret. But, having been to Basecamp 2022, I know that they are also working on solutions that might make it worth keeping the fire burning for.

I love Sketchup and think it is an awesome tool, but I have to work at high levels of detail on large scale and layout in its current form will always struggle. If you use other CAD software you must know what I mean?
