It was brought to my attention that when using a metric template the 3D materials cause SketchUp to crash. This is because when using metric units or a metric template the plugin assumes the units configured in the name of the 3D materials is mm and not inches.
If you are using metric you want to define your 3D materials with millimeters and not inches, otherwise you end up with a crash or a very tiny 3D texture which will take forever to draw.
For instance with battens the default material defined is:
battens_12.0_1.5_0.75
To setup a comparable board and batten material for metric one would create a material with the following name (notice how I've converted the numbers to mm from inches):
battens_300_38_19
When the plugin is in metric mode it will assume these numbers are in (mm) and not inches. Please be aware of this.
For example with shiplap try creating a material named:
shiplap_197_19
For a 3D lap siding try:
lap_178
