If you open Task Manager (I am assuming you are on Windows) when this is occurring, how much CPU and memory are being used by the SketchUp.exe process? Memory usage is indicated in the Working Set column. Also, which type of machine is it, how much memory does it have, and which OS is installed?

The thing to figure out is whether things are actually hung up, or if the plugin is just processing a very large mesh. Stopped/frozen/hung would mean that CPU activity had dropped to 0% for some minutes or more.

working computers are: intel I 5 and 7, with 4 and 8 gig ram, both on win 7 pro. SU8 pro.. Tried to render og second computer and it does not hang there but errror msg "model has errors". When pressing the "error message" to view the message no popup window appers. Grrrrrrrr

Please advise.. :D

EDIT: Problem solved.. elimination methode, narrowed it down to one group that had the probelem. Not sure what the problem is, but when editing the geometry the problem stoped and model exports just fine.. :? :lol:

If you have a version of the file where the problem still exists, I would very much like to get a copy of it.
