Camera > Zoom Extents.

Save at least one Scene (with camera location saved) to quickly get back to a good modeling view if and when you zoom to a distant view.

After you hit Zoom Extents, you might consider moving the copy back closer to the one at the origin.

Also, if you leave the axes turned on, they can help you get oriented when you lose your way.

Plus you are using layers incorrectly.

Could you enlighten me on layers a little?

Get a little confused of where to put what on which layer and more often then not things end up on certain layers through absent mindedness.

Layers in SU do NOT work the same way as in CAD programs.
