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.
-
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.

I've installed the latest version of FredoScale, and I'm not sure it's really an improvement, at least not for me. Also, the fact that I have to manually turn off "Uniform" every single time is very irritating. Is there a way to change this so that Uniform is disabled by default?
-
-
Well, it seems to me that the user interface has changed, or am I completely mistaken?
-
This is completely new to me, or am I wrong?
-
This dialog always existed and is invoked by pressing Tab when the mouse is over a handle. Simply there was a bug for some situations.
-
@fredo6 Great work. This latest “Uniform Scale” modification, although visually a small change, has actually been a major breakthrough for me. Congratulations!
-
@fredo6
I always got this dialog when pressed the tab and LOVED it!
.
When pressing ctrl- & shift I could scale uniformly. I don't see the improvement...sorry
-
@pep75 This is the panel that appears with the button in the latest version 3.7a, with a tab in one corner of the box. It's improved because now you can disconnect the measurements.
-
Yes, I understand that, but I find it incredibly cumbersome. Every time I want to scale objects, I first have to disable the "uniform scale" option and then press Enter twice (which isn't a big deal). The way it was before worked fine; I wasn't missing anything at all.
-
@pep75 Before this change, when there was no uniform scale, it was impossible to unlock uniformity. This means that if you need to scale an object—for example, a chair that is not to scale—but you know one dimension, such as its height, you could resize the object by entering just that single dimension. For me, this is an extremely useful and precise feature. Previously, it was absolutely not possible to do this, whereas with SketchUp’s standard Scale tool it was possible, albeit in a less sophisticated way.
Let me give you an example: if you insert a door, then change your mind and want to resize it while keeping it in scale, just by modifying the height with an exact measurement, how did you do it before? You just need to get used to it.
