When I try to geo-locate the model, I get a message saying “Sorry! You must be logged in. Please close this window and sign in to SketchUp by clicking on the Account icon. Look for it in the upper right corner of the modeling window.” Two problems: 1. It says I’m signed in already. 2. There is no Account icon in the upper right corner of the modeling window, or anywhere else that I can see. How can I geo-locate the model? By the way, Geo-location worked perfectly until I got the email announcing the Nearmap option.
Edited to add: I’m using SketchUp Pro 2020 Version 20.1.235 64-bit on a Windows desktop
When you installed SketchUp did you right click on the downloaded installer and select run as administrator? If not or you don’t remember, you should go ahead and do that and repair the installation to make sure.
Your profile should include the SketchUp version, license, operating system, and graphics card. Yours looks like this:
I got this message yesterday as well, perhaps due to the recent changes in Geolocation options. Signing out and signing back in once solved it. The option to sign out and back in should be in the upper right corner of the window. It should look like this:
For the 2018 version, the sign out and in are a bit different and are located in the bottom left.
If you used Google, I think it won’t work, Google’s sign in from within SketchUp are not allowed anymore.
You have to have a Trimble ID (All things for SketchUp)
I think this is an unusual login process to login if the user has to login to Sketchup Extension Warehouse before using the GeoLocation tool. This also happens in version 2020 and 2021. I get this question constantly. There’s a work around, but it should not be happening.
