      I've gotten into trouble a few times working on a small component, on one side of a project. Trying to use the orbit tool makes the object vanish. Zoom out, find the project, zoom in. Try to orbit again, and everything vanishes again. Is there a way to tell sketchup that the current thing I'm looking at is the center of orbit?

      The only thing I've found of use is to zoom out, orbit from there, zoom in. When you are working on a 3" molding in a 100 foot structure this is a PITA

        Where your cursor is placed when you start orbiting is the center of orbit. If you keep the cursor on some geometry while orbiting, it won't disappear.
