SketchUp 2024 Zoom Extents Zooming at Remote Distance BUG?

Hello Dave R,
I have continued to have problems with zoom extents in 2024 working differently than in 2022. In 2022 I could turn tags off and zoom extents on the geometry visible after turning tags off. In 2024 when a tag is turned off to remove geometry, zoom extents zooms to the extent of all the geometry, turned off or not. The following is a new .skp with a big rectangle and a small rectangle.

When I turn off the tag Rectangle Big and zoom extents the small rectangle is not zoomed. This is also true if I hide the big rectangle.

If I cut the Big Rectangle and zoom extents, the small rectangle zooms.

Maybe I am not remembering the functionality of 2022, but it sure seems different in 2024 to how I was using zoom extents in 2022. I have attached the file for your reference.
Thanks,
Glenn Richardson

This is what I see with Zoom Extents in SU2024. Seems normal to me.

My installation does not do that. I guess I need to reinstall 2024. I already did the repair.

Did you right click on the installer and select Run as administrator?

Probably not.

Do that and repair the installation. I don’t know if it’ll help in this case but it surely won’t hurt.

I will. Thanks

Hi Dave, great stuff as always. I can’t wait to got back to my work in SU Go and review your recommendations. I am currently having an issue with zoom extents that seems similar to this issue. When I select zoom extents my screen goes white with no geometry/objects in view at all.

Very likely you have something located at a huge distance from the rest of the model. Use Outliner to select the objects in the model, right click on the selection in Outliner and choose Zoom Selection. Make sure the camera is set to Perspective first.

Thanks Dave, I tried your suggestion but outliner only lets me select one object at a time. This works quite well for that one object. Maybe I’m missing something :man_shrugging:t2:. Anyway Zoom Extents seems to be working as it should currently. I will check the rest of my projects to see if it’s an issue with the drawing as opposed to SU for me.
Thanks again always appreciate your input.

What happens if you select one object and then hold Shift while selecting farther down?
outliner

Thanks I tried that and it doesn’t work. I’m on my IPad??
