Hold shift while you drag the corner will resize the jpg while keeping the height to width ratio the same, if that’s what you mean.

Keep an eye on the task bar at the bottom in both Sketchup and Layout, it tells you what modifier keys are available for the tool currently in use.

But what if you are looking for a very specific scale percentge? The scale tool in2026 is not giving you exact control. If the answer is trial and error, that’s fine, but I;think that is still a workaround.

these two numbers are the percentage of scale.

1 is 100%
0,772 is 77,2%
