I am using sketchup pro 2018. I found another thread dealing with this issue, but it is closed. I will link to that in the next window. I am having the same issue described in a number of threads. I am working with a relatively simple model. It is cabinetry. I used 2d squares to map the floor spac…

Thank you DaveR Can I ask how you fixed this. Now that it was zoomed in I can see the the text was actually accidentally included in a component nested in the group. I will be more careful with text prior to creating scenes towards the end, but I am sure something similar will happen in the future…

These Ruby snippets can be used to identify and purge invalid text. [image] I've also bumped into the Zoom Extents Bug SketchUp Wait! I think I’ve gotten a similar error when moving around vertices of a face having a 2D text added to it. I’ve downloaded your model and it …

[image] jg73: Can I ask how you fixed this. The way I fixed it was to copy the geometry in the model and paste it into a new one. Before copying it, though, I delete a gazillion guidelines.

I was creating the “shawdow” boxes so I could get rid of the guide lines when I encountered the problem. Thanks for the…

Thanks McGordon. It seems this text problem is becoming more frequent, or more noticed. Several entities have now published work arounds, and code solutions to the situation. Now that I am aware of what was actually causing the issue I should be able to fix on my own, and draw in a way to help mitig…

I’ve written a Ruby script to find and if possible correct these problems with text. I couldn’t see the text on screen until the script put it back to the origin. I’m not sure exactly how to create the problem in the first place though.
