Share the SkethUp file so we can see exactly what you’ve got going on. Looks like you might have a component set up with gluing properties. Just a guess with no more information than we get from your video. ---

Closing SketchUp and reopening it doesn’t really answer why it was doing that but without seeing the .skp file there’s little point in just guessing at what was going on. Just hope it doesn’t happen again. ---

I expect it has something to do with the giant drawer pull component that was improperly made. Where did you get it? ---

I want to detail the problem, after 30 minutes of working in the program, it sometimes happens that I lose one of the axes when I want to move a part, if I close the program and reopen it, the problem is no longer there ---

What I see in the video looks like inferencing… do you ever orbit around the model once the problem starts to see if the missing axis can be inferenced? do you use arrow keys to for the move along the axis? ---

when the axis disappears, I look for it around the line drawing but it does not appear, and when I click on the arrows and block the disappeared axis appears thank you! ---

I do not know what you are clicking on… I am asking if you orbit the model after you have started moving the door, or if you have tried pressing the arrow keys on your keyboard to try to lock to the missing axis inferences. ---

> [@IonutZOR](#): > > I want to detail the problem, after 30 minutes of working in the program, it sometimes happens that I lose one of the axes when I want to move a part Does it have to do with your shortcut key(s) to turn of the axes? You say that the blue axis disappears but in the video you shared neither the blue axis nor the green and red axes are visible, (see screenshot / time 0:14 / left corner at ground level) ![Screenshot 2023-01-18 23.36.56](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/b/a/ba28e090c6d530d2e037ca4e18169d99bfaef0e6.jpeg) Maybe you have ‘View Axis’ on/off assigned to a shortcut key unknown to you. ---
