Hi in SketchUp 2026 you need to tap tab multiple times to bring up the dimensions box. This appears to only happen on Windows, Mac is working as it should. Is there a workaround or fix?

Thanks.

@Mattshiggins

You can right click and choose Enter Dimensions

But the TAB not firing on first click suggests something else is grabbing focus. That could be from a myriad of reasons like a dialog open or you clicked something in the tray.

I've not experienced myself on Windows but have seen a few mention it.

I'm having the same issue here. I've tried uninstalling all other extensions and plugins and running Sketchup without any other apps in the background and I still get the same thing.

Is there a way to check what is getting focused when I press tab, maybe? To try and find what's stealing the focus?

EDIT: or maybe change that tab key to something else that doesn't cause the issue?

Hello to all, after reading all 57 pages of this topic I have yet to find a solution to my issue with the box stretching function.

I have attached 3 images showing a simple paneled door that stretches all groups in the horizontal direction but only the frame in the vertical direction.

The door component consists of 11 different groups, What am I missing here ?

Upload the file please so we can test

Sorry posted wrong door, try this one.

Explode the 'glass' groups and group them into a single group then stretch

Many thanks Rich, that certainly works, my lack of lateral thinking on show right there.

But is this a workaround for a non functionality in the extension or is it by design ? Just seems odd that it works in one plane and not the other.

@fimo

Dunno... it does behave correctly Left/Right. Just not Up/Down.

In this video you can see it working as expected. Maybe @fredo6 knows more?
