I've looked everywhere on Google and have been searching for about 2 horus now so if anyone could link me up it would be a great help.

Damm Pegasi beat me too it but that is the right download. I dont always use the actual canvases though because it does make it a lot more complicated. Just use the components.
Indeed, in fact my poor little Mac Mini can barely handle the full environment file when I open it, slows down to a snail's pace. Other than using the components alone, you have the option of turning off the other sections from the one you're using. Ie. if you're designing a map on the middle level you turn off the sky bubble and crypt sections, as well as the dunes surrounding image since it's only aesthetic. If your computer has trouble dealing with the whole file when trying to sketch then try this, or simply use the components alone on a blank area as PILGRIM said.
Turn down the textures to wire frame. With that even my ancient laptop has no trouble running a full map.
TaK's Ultimate Forge Sketch-up Compilation - MLG Forums He's got monochrome components in his sketchup files, they really help with computer speed. I could barely use sketchup before downloading these, and now it runs really smooth, no significant framerate drop. Also, he has the crypt, sky bubble, and main floor in separate files for even better performance.
