Zoom extents bug in SketchUp 2026

When I’m working on a single grouped model in very big site and I have set view option to hide rest of the model and when I press zoom extend it supposed to zoom extend only that group like in Sketchup 2023 but in 2026 it’s zoom extended to cover my whole site and make my model looks tiny in a corner.

And it’s very annoying that I have to select something first and then press zoom selection.

Is this a bug or something else please help me.

Hmmm … It works as expected in my model.

Perhaps you have something placed at a distance from the rest of the geometry in the object you are editing. Share the .skp file so we can see exactly what you are working with.

I am working for a studio and they might signed NDA so I cannot publicly upload my model how can I send you in private ?

I’m sorry I’m new here so I don’t really know much about this community platform.

Click on my name and send it via a message that way. You might need a few more posts in the form before you’re allow to send a private message.

I’ll guess that your model is larger than 16mb. If so, upload it to DropBox and share the link.

yes right now now there’s no option for personal message, so basically this is my model when ever i working on villa in this model I face it.

That screen shot doesn’t tell me anything useful to diagnose the issue.

yes but I’m just posting as you said so I can message you personally.

I see.

And this lines shows whenever I fix problems in SketchUp, can it be the issue ?

Probably not related to the Zoom Extents issue but it shows there’s a bunch of not so good geometry.

This is my other model but issue is still the same?

When I set the rest of the model to be hidden Zoom Extents works in your model as expected and as it does in mine.

So any is there any settings or preferences issue ?

No. If you turn on Hide Rest of Model and open an object for editing so the rest of the model is hidden, you should see the same results with Zoom Extents. Do a screen video recording to show what you get.

Here’s more of the same sort of thing in your model.

Go into Model Info>Components and tick the box for Hide Rest of Model. Then try again. I have a keyboard shortcut for that so I can turn it on or off as needed.

No, It also didn’t work.

I have faced the same issue when I updated to SketchUp 2025, back then I thought it was some kind of bug so again installed 2023 version but newer version are far better for handling heavy geometries.

It’s either something you’re doing or perhaps it’s caused by some extension you have running. Zoom Extents does zoom as expected in both SketchUp 2025 and 2026.

You were right, this extension caused that issue. Dezmo ViewDice.

Thank you for assist.

But this extension was working fine with SketchUp 2023. That’s why I was confused.
