Share the .skp file so we can see what you are working with. Looks to me as if your model is a long way from the origin. Please complete your forum profile with operating system and graphics card model. ---

That doesn’t help. You only shared a viewer link, not the .skp file If you want help share the actual .skp file. What version of SketchUp are you really using? Your profile says 2020. Please fix your profile. ---

loo = look.. Just update your operating system (windows or macOs + version) and your graphics card (you can look up the details in your computers hardware list.) The answers on your questions often depends on this information!! ---

There’s a lot of garbage (short edge segments and unneeded objects) placed at long distances from the model origin. Note that with Zoom Extents the model itself is so tiny that it can’t be seen. It’s above the red axis and to the right of the green in this screenshot. ![Screenshot - 7_22_2026 , 12_34_18 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/4X/8/1/7/8177562807a5345b1b86e683a2759e6605042e44.png) I cleaned up the junk and moved the model to the origin. I also fixed incorrect tag usage and purged unused content along with some other cleanup. Do your modeling with the Camera set to Perspective, not Parallel Projection.
