Just an addition, but here's the 'about' info

Not as yet, I do have a win 10 workstation I've still got to try. What's strange is that both another workstation and a business laptop do the same thing. Happens in an empty model as well as populated ones.

Thanks for the reply Chris. I did as you said and it doesn't seem to have resolved. This issue has occurred for several months, with TWR being the only plugin installed. It's not a real pain at the moment, I just have to remember not to do any work without saving, before using TWR. Here's some info ...

Hi there, Bit of a strange one, but on two machines this occurs. I have a model open (simple or complex) and click Twilight Render, Sketchup then locks up indefinitely. I force quit the programme, then restart it, click Twilight Render again and it pops up as normal. Twilight Render then works as us...

Nice comparison! Shows that increasing thread count by factor of three does not necessarily reduce render times proportionately, but it definitely gives much quicker render times. :^: Glad you like! I do have an 8 thread laptop, I might give that a go too - as an in-betweenie with a very similar CP...
