    Hello, I have a problem that repeats itself in all versions since 2020.
    Sketchup produces multiple overlapping faces when the face is edited
    After a lot of effort and research, I found that the only solution for this is by moving the entire model each time to the origin of the axes in the area I am working on in the model - something that greatly delays the work. Very frustrating - I’d appreciate it if someone has another solution to this frustrating problem. Thanks

      If geo is far from world origin you will run into clipping issues. Are you seeing extra geometry or graphical artifacts? Because both are different issues.

      Sounds graphical. Is your issue similar to this?

      You can see my scene is 5km long and the problem area has geometry separated in Z by 5cm

      SketchUp cannot render the small distance whilst also considering the scene scale. SketchUp doesn't expose the camera clipping values to the user but Sam Tallet's Clipping Fix does try...

      ...but its a problem in 3D in general. A camera needs to have bounds. When you want to to see extrememly close and extremely far you hit the clipping issue.
