A circle or whatever manual drawing, that I want to zoom and fit and center in a window using a short key or Ruby script. Not sure what to show. I will try. from this ![Screenshot 2023-01-27 at 15.46.35](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/a/d/ad414fddb57f76e7c66d8b1c0d947a97bce77d1d.jpeg) to this ![Screenshot 2023-01-27 at 15.47.12](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/d/d/dd6ae6194fc241e8bec82f8d44fddc1579f80543.png) With a single keystroke.

Is this a thing you’ve modeled in SketchUp or drawn in LayOut? Are you just talking about zoom into the page to make it larger? If that’s all you want to do set a keyboard shortcut for Zoom Selection. ![Screenshot - 1_27_2023 , 8_52_44 AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/8/5/854dbdcb317bc39812562d30430aa02e79cc296e.png) ![zoom](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/8/6/86ca22afce90cc35bfadd640186f955d53eca6f9.gif) ---

Funny, I have no Zoom Selection. I got ALT-Z but that doesn’t zoom the selection. ![Screenshot 2023-01-27 at 15.54.27](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/9/c/9cb116e4412115e928cbaeb64925ca29d983bff6.jpeg) ---

What version of LayOut are you using? Do you get Zoom Selection if you have something selected? I didn’t need to do that but it might be a LayOut version thing or maybe it’s a Mac/Windows difference. ---

LO 2021 - 21.1.331 Nope, no zoom choice at all. Is there a Ruby solution? ---

No Ruby solution for LO. Not implemented in LO2021. I’ve forgotten but Maybe Zoom Selection is a feature that was added in LO2022. ---
