I have had problems launching sketchup over RDP session, it throws this error:
If Sketchup has been started locally before using RDP it works fine, sometimes is crashes but most of the time it's ok.
I googled and came up with a smart solution:
- Create a Batch file which includes the following two lines:
tscon 1 /dest:console- Run the batchfile as administrator (this will diconnect your current remote desktop session)
"C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2017\SketchUp.exe"
- Wait the time sketchup normally takes to start before you reconnect the remote desktop. If you reconnect too quickly you will get the OpenGL error.
I also found that you have to disable the startup screen so the sketchup will launch directly into editing mode.
You can also add a path and filename to a SKP file after the .exe line in the batchfile to load a project automatically.
BTW: This assumes that you are using session 1 on the computer.
