I was working on my model and clicked something, which sent the model in Zoom Extent. I have been unable to Zoom out. Never had a problem before. I decided to close the file and then restart it, but I may have made a mistake when I saved changes before closing. Can anyone help to resolve this issue. Thanks, Glenn [bsb1485@gmail.com](mailto:bsb1485@gmail.com) ---

Can you upload the SKP file so we can see what you’ve got? Do you have any groups or components in the model? One option would be to select one of them in Outliner, right click and choose Zoom Selection. You still need to sort out why Zoom Extents makes the model appear to disappear. Commonly that occurs when a label or text element is positioned at a great distance from the origin but there are other possibilities as well. ---

Probably an invalid (NAN) coordinate of a 2D text as a result of it being attached to a face being modified. Happens sometimes. I made a small snippet to purge these but I can’t remember where I put it. Should be somewhere on the forum. ---

Your model has a couple of text objects that have suffered the bug that sends them off to infinity. It’s fixable but too big for me to send back the result just now. ---
