Help, I zoomed super far out and cant zoom back in !
press the button with the magnifying glass and four arrows
yeah, The zoom extents button, that’s what I did to cause the issue.
Sounds like you have at least a bit of geometry or something at a great distance from the rest of the model. Can you share the SKP file?
Do you have groups or components in the model? You could open Outliner and access them from there. Use Zoom Selection to zoom in on them. You still need to find out what is causing the problem, though.
Could be geometry or it could be a label text entity that is miles from the model.
As @DaveR said, we can’t give you a definitive answer or solution without seeing your model. Be aware, though, that there is a known bug in SketchUp’s handling of leader text (the 2D ones with leader lines pointing to things in your model) that can cause the text to fly off to infinity as you edit your model and then zoom causes everything to shrink to invisibility. There are ways to recover from this damage, but again, one needs to have the model in hand to be sure they have worked.
Can I share a model with a similar problem? I cannot find the issue.
Share the file and I will take a look to see what I can do
Well, it looks like you’ve been doing your modeling with the camera set to Parallel Projection. This can create issues with camera position and help to result in geometry positioned at a huge distance from the origin. There’s a rectangle placed as shown.
That translates to 8,835.38216833 miles!
Do your modeling with the camera set to Perspective. Save Parallel Projection for plan and elevation scenes.There’s a component called deu2450bg r that is also placed at a vast distance from the origin. I deleted those things and now Zoom Extents shows this:
I also did my standard cleanup procedure. Fixed incorrect tag usage.
And purged unused content.
That reduced the file size by 99.6% You need to make sure to keep your model cleaned up as you are working. That along with leaving the Camera set to Perspective will help you avoid issues.

Incredible. Thank you. Does that object placed at a great distance have to do with importing an object that’s geolocated?
You’re welcome.
Well, it most certainly could be due to that. Where would you have gotten the object? From the 3D Warehouse? If you getting objects from a source like the 3D Warehouse, download them into a separate SketchUp session to check them out and clean them up. If they are geo-located, remove that property before you add the object into your project file.
