I have, well, I spent a few minutes and MADE one of my boxes have exactly the same settings, and it works. You can bring this up in your IE 11 browser, but wont be able to grab the image and download, by going to Add Location but you can troubleshoot all the way to the grab point.

Being able to grab an image and overlay on it is integral to what we need to work on. If this cannot be remedied, we will need to work out a refund.

How about we try to debug this via a remote session? I will IM you my details.

@nj6676, the information shows you are running IE 9. Can you update to IE 11 ?

EDIT: Nevermind that must be SketchUp setting the user agent string. I have 11 installed and mine shows IE 9 also.
FURTHER: My SketchUp browser emulation setting was off because I had been testing under a prior version. (And forgot to set it back to 11.)

My sketchup pro 2015 Geolocation button for grabbing a region seems to have disappeared from the dialog box. The add location works in that you can type in your address and zoom in and out of your location, but there is simply no grab region button to really insert it into your model . You cannot even select a region. Any thoughts out there?

I just checked it on my PC and it worked fine. I wonder if you need to clear caches for Internet Explorer or Safari. (Your profile doesn’t tell us anything about what operating system you are using) At least it would be worth a try.

If by clear caches for Internet Explorer, you mean delete my browsing
history- I cleared everything. It made no difference. I have SketchUp Pro
2015. I have windows 7. Any other thoughts-- really weird that it just
started not working the same as it has for the last 2 years.

I didn’t just mean clearing browsing history but also deleting temporary Internet files.

The fact that the behavior changed is what makes me think you need to clear those files.

Others have reported similar things and clearing out the temporary Internet files has been the solution.

I solved it!!! I thought, I wonder what would happen if I dragged the diagonal lower right corner of the add location dialog box out to make it bigger, and there was the “select region” button. The geolocation dialog box was just to small. Thanks for your help though

Very good. It didn’t occur to me that you would have made the window so
small the button wouldn’t show. Glad you got it sorted.

In the remote session with @nj6676 I observed the same thing and resizing the Add-Location dialog box solved the problem.

Wrong. I showed Yogesh that the default sizes are fine. Please remove the solution checkbox on @yogesh 's post. I installed clean on Mac and PC. If there’s an error, it’s because people are resizing. or it’s because you had a version of SketchUp installed, resized, didn’t cleanly uninstall, and installed again.

There needs to be a minimum width for the dialog set, so that the whole toolbar will always show. Or the buttons reduced to some nifty “grab” icon, and then it’s tooltip can be the longer explanatory text.

3 posts were split to a new topic: Add Location on Mac showing empty images

I had the same issue and resolved it by dragging the corner of the dialog box out. I don’t know why it was minimized.
