It did give me nudge to download Fusion 360 and dabble a bit. I just don’t want to lose all the models I’ve built over the years. I’m retired, use as a hobbyist for woodworking, I don’t make money with the tool, so that’s good. This is the first I got hit badly and at a terrible time given my subscription is up on the 30th. In the past I have been on the other side of this where I read horror stories but I didn’t see problems on my end (whew!). I suppose I am just one of the unlucky ones this time around. Apple’s Mac generally provides some lead time for developers (former iPhone developer here) to test and update their software maybe not enough and perhaps Trimble’s focus is on 2023 using Ventura, which does make sense from a business perspective, but is terrible for me and I guess a few others right now. I tried starting with Rosetta but unfortunately it did not make a difference. Essentially to get anything working again it forces me to do a hard restart (power button as the OS is locked up). It may be an Apple issue, but it appears to me that only upon opening Sketchup and trying to do anything in the app with my models do I see the problems materialize. My Ventura version is “13.0.1" which I just confirmed is the latest version. I can’t roll back since files have been changed in other apps. I feel that they should support Ventura because they “publicly” claim they support Macs and that ought to include the most current operating system, or they should clearly clarify “Does not support Ventura yet…” until they can support it. Zooming, orbiting and panning all caused 1-2 GB jumps in used memory. It is a repeatable issue that I isolated to a complex object I had in my model. I gave them all the steps to recreate the issue. They would not even investigate my documented issue because Ventura isn’t supported at this time. Support suggested I go to this forum, facebook, twitter or other social networks. I was told by support that Ventura is not supported and because they are “publicly traded” cannot even advise when that might happen. I literally cannot open Sketchup without experiencing strange system wide behavior. Memory issues (~45GB) for me cause my machine to crash and burn making Sketchup unusable for now.
