Used SketchUp exclusively in the past for years, but a lot has changed since then.
How do I show the all the tools in the toolbar. They used to be in 2 rows.
When I “zoom extents” it doesn’t bring the object into full view?
Your forum profile indicates you are using the free webversion. It’s user interface is different from the desktop version. Take a poke around and get used to the new interface.
What does it do?
Figured that one out. Need to delete the man figure so it didn’t focus on that.
What are you modeling?
A model rocket fin guide tool
Is there a specific forum for the free version?
Ah … So something small. Getting rid of the scale figure would make Zoom Extents zoom in on the tool
I moved your thread to the SketchUp Free category.
Are you planning to 3D print the model?
I’m going to have them printed. Just starting my own rocket business and producing kits. Pretty much no one else includes a fin guide in their kits. It should be a good selling point.
Thanks for your help Dave!
If they are going to be 3D printed I would suggest that you set model units to meters and model as if millimeters are meters. That will let you create smoother curved suraces.
Since you are doing this for your business, you’ll need to get at least a SketchUp Go subscription. Using SketchUp Free for this would be prohibited.

Thanks again for your help.
The model would have been a free gift with the product, but I guess the value added constitutes designing for profit. Evidently, it’s time to learn Tinkercad
