Why does the Orbit tool in Sketchup Make 2016 not work properly

Just installed latest version of Make 64bit and the Obit Tool looks like it is stuck to on axis or something weird. Instead of smoothly orbiting sketch it rotates it about one point

There is something wrong with something on your setup. With nothing else to go on I would suggest you try something.

Disable ‘Use hardware acceleration’ in menu Window > Preferences > OpenGL.
Restart SketchUp and see if orbiting works properly now.
If so, update your graphics card driver and enable ‘Use hardware acceleration’ again.

Thanks but it still seems to be stuck to an axis or point, feels like my
hand isn’t working correctly

Are you orientated correctly? Solid blue up, solid red to the right, solid green into the distance.
