@holmes1977 (Jonathan) posted a new topic, subject "Object area moved or deleted in models hierarchy". It read:

   Hi
    
    Haven't had this problem before. Every time I open this job and all the previous saves in this job I get this message:
    
    **The object area “Foundation” has been deleted or removed in the models hierarchy, please select it again.**
    
    When I press OK, sketchup freezes for a while. Then the message pops up again. I cant even close sketchup, without opening Task manager and forcing a shut down. I have been using Skatter and think I may have named a group “foundation” I have downloaded SU2016 with out any pluggins and try and open the file with the same results.
    
    Cheers for any help

To which @Anssi (Anssi Wainio) replied

    It definitely sounds like a plugin issue to me. Reinstalling SketchUp will not remove installed plugins. Open a new empty model and check in the Preferences>Extensions window if you see Skatter there and try turning it off before trying to re-open this one.
    
    Just a suggestion

    I agree with @Anssi \- I think that message is being posted by an extension/plugin, not SketchUp itself.

    Hi Guys
    
    Thanks for your response. I agree that it does look like a pluggin problem. But I installed SU 2016 pro with no pluggins and the same problem happens. Previously I had been opening the file with SU 2015 pro with loads of pluggins.

After which, @jiminybillybob (Thomas Hauchecorne) added

    This is indeed a message from Skatter.
    
    You have a Skatter setup in your model in which you picked a group/component (named “Foundation”) as a Host. Now Skatter can't find it anymore, and it's telling you.
    
    Open the setup in Skatter, and pick the group again.
    
    Or send me the file to daguirre@example.net

    Thanks Jiminey
    
    I solved the problem by updating your plugin. It stopped the crashing.  
    By the way, AMAZING work you have done. Its the missing link alot of use have been waiting for.
