I’ve recently downloaded Sketchup 2016 so I’m in the 30 day pro trial stage. I’ve been trying to print a model but I’m having some strange behavior happening within Sketchup. When selecting print from the menu after I set up my page and document settings, the print dialogue goes blank and I’m una…

Try turning off Hardware Acceleration in Preferences>OpenGL. You’ll find Preferences in the SketchUp menu to the left of File.

Sorry, I meant to say I did press/held the option key but no luck.
