Hello, I am new to Sketchup. I was sent some plans for an arcade cabinet but when I open them in the web version of SketchUp they are pushed off screen. I cannot find any way to move this stuff to the center of my screen. if I zoom out to see all of it, the design becomes so small it is illegible. What is going on here and how do I even fix this?

Try zoom extents. That should show all of the model on the view. If it becomes tiny, that means it is spread over a large space compared to the size of individual entities.

It is wired to the default shortcut Shift+Z and is also on the left hand menu as shown here:

You can also just use the hand, 3 icons above the one Steve has circled, to pan the plans onto the screen.  
You need to explore how to navigate the model space, and remember this is 3d so you can orbit around it.
