      Is there a way to present SketchUp full screen on Mac (hide menus etc.)?

        Haven't tried it with SU but the green button upper left SU window should take it fullscreen? Well I can see why you posted, green button doesn't work . It shrinks my window instead. Clicking "window" and clicking zoom does the same thing.Never tried full screen before seeing your post. Hope a mac guru has an answer for you. Wonder if it's a glitch in SU?

          Apple has the fullscreen option on many Apple apps. Some non-Apple aps have it such as Firefox amd Word. I guess it is up to the developer if they want it.

                driven, slbaumgartner, you guys have my curiosity up.Running SU 15 on an iMac w/ mavericks and a Mac Pro w/ yosemite. Like pbacot says I can't get SU to do a classic fullscreen i.e. SU window covers the dock and the top mac toolbar. the green radio button will max the window but not take it to a classic full screen ???????

                  I believe it is 'native' with El Capitan...

                  I've been running modified versions of SU to achieve the same thing since v8...

                  I've never shared these as it's a bit flakey when modelling, but ok for presentations...

                  The problem I found was some of the 'sub-windows' can 'jump' you back to the start screen unexpectedly...

                  and each 'new' model is on it's own window, when I prefer stacking them for quick navigation...

                    On El Capitan it does exactly what you describe: global menu bar and dock hide.
