To keep SketchUp interactive and responsive while you're modeling, SketchUp waits to render the model with full detail until you temporarily stop working on the model. For large models that are using a complex Style, you may notice a significant pause when you end a modeling operation before the full-detail rendering completes. This pause allows you to start your next modeling operation without the renderer interrupting your work.

SketchUp is a graphics-heavy application. We suggest always keeping your graphics drivers up-to-date. Updating drivers can often correct odd visual behaviors such as freezing, artifacts, model slicing, and slow performance. Windows If you have a notebook or laptop computer:

SketchUp is a graphics-heavy program. Knowing your graphics card can help you troubleshoot odd visual behaviors or recommend a good-performing card to other users. The easiest way to find your graphics card is to run the DirectX Diagnostic Tool:

We recommend any graphics card that fully supports OpenGL 3.0 or higher and has at least 64 MB of video memory. If you're going to create large models, we recommend a graphics card with more than 512 MB of video memory. OpenGL is a set of instructions for how your computer's graphics components work with the rest of your computer and your software. OpenGL is particularly important for 3D programs like SketchUp, as well as 2D graphics programs. If the graphics card manufacturer supports the standard OpenGL instructions well, then your 3D and 2D programs will work well.

Graphics card The graphics components are the part of your computer that control and enhance how graphics (pictures, videos, programs, animation, 3D) are displayed on your computer screen. Often, the graphics components are on a separate card that plugs into a slot on the motherboard, which is the main part of the computer. That's why the graphics components are commonly called the graphics card. Sometimes the graphics card components are build directly into the motherboard. Other common names for graphics components
