What I do know is that this system will not run SU2018 due to graphics requirements and after 2017 support is reaching it’s end I will be looking into another system for the required upgrade… When it is happening, the clicks are buffering - so literally anything after three blind mice is out on a limb… I haven’t nailed down exactly what causes this, but it isn’t happening all the time, nor is it happening using other ways of selecting like the r/click context menu options. The problem is of course that you may not have properly selected or deselected everything as required yet couldn’t see this in real-time, so it would all have to be done again. I’ve had something similar when selecting, it takes an age to highlight - you could double click areas around a 24 section circle, go make a drink, come back and deselect the plane areas, enjoy drink while reading a synopsis for something, then eventually get back to the task in hand and hides the lines with a simple Alt+E,H…

…To make us devise and learn our own failsafe techniques I reckon… If your autosave is set to smallish increments like 10 minutes, there’s a chance you made a significant amount of progress in those last ten minutes, but with the kind of ‘temporal dysplasia’ experienced when focused in on the work detail, you could suppose it was the whole session’s work that has been lost - I suggest trying to pick up where it appears to leave off, peeing when you have to, saving before you go anywhere, and possibly getting back on top within a relatively short time - shorter because you know what you’re about, because you’ve already been there and done that - don’t sweat it, time makes fools of us all - the aforemention example happened to me more than once and I had no idea - what with F5, the refresh icon in the browser path field toolbar and sometimes the Program Menu has the option listed too - so why put it there and risk it being tapped? Copy and paste the file so it exists as something Sketchup doesn’t have a handle on model.skp”], and then return to using Sketchup - if you open something with work missing, you can then navigate to the copied file using File>Open and what you should access then is the more recent/complete file.

skb back up files should prevent this - but in the event Sketchup asks a question like that, stop doing anything in the program and find the file in it’s saved location in a file manager.

Recent files access, autosaved versions and. This is a ‘feature’ of computers that shouldn’t have followed programs, developers and users to the present day.Ĭompare Ctrl+R on a web form you’ve decided to fill in ‘live’ on the page - you could take the same many many hours and then decide the first word of the next sentence begins with capital ‘R’…, if you have the usual keyboard layout, Shift+R is very much like tapping Ctrl+R …, and… - it’s gone!
