Just did a quick google search and maybe you should try:

In SketchUp, import the Geo Location you are interested in. Then go to Window---->Components. Click the pulldown menu to the left of the search bar. Choose "nearby models". A list of available buildings near your location will appear. Click on any to import to your model file in SketchUp.

Thanks for tip. It seems the resolution is so bad as to be unusable. is there a way to get beyond default resolution? Also, only one building to import. Dang...

Okay,folks. Found and installed the feature. Nice!

Thanks!

"...installed the Logitech Setpoint driver..."

That's yer problem. You might be able to get into the mouse settings and change the mapping for the center mouse wheel so Zoom works. While you're at it, check the mapping on the center mouse button, too.
Thanks for input, but the zoom function already works. It's the scroll wheel click that doesn't function. No mapping option I have found will return it. WTF, Logitech!

I wouldn't throw out driver.
I don't imagine Logitech models are that different.
With Logitech MX, I have a few buttons set specifically for SU.

This setup enables that orbit function on my Mac.

...it surprises me that there isn't a means to keep one from installing a single seat over and over. 😐

This is called a "floating license". Some software developers take this route while others take a different one (like it has to be deactivated on one machine to activate it on another one - or even locking the license to a certain hardware). Each solution has its advantages and drawbacks (from both vendor's and user's point of view) and also the nature of the software often determines which way to take.

TIG cannot use SU on two machines concurrently. Me neither. So there is no high risk of "cheating" here.

A renderer may be different. You could be building your scene, tweaking materials whatnot on one machine while rendering a movie on the other. Thus their licenses are usually stricter.
That makes sense to me. Like TIG, I only care to use one machine at a time. 😄 I will be disposing of the Dell. Now, if I understand correctly...I will need to tell NVidea to handle SU?
