Measuring tool for phone viewer is missing
My SketchUp Viewer for Mobile is version "6.5.2 (2077)". Why is the measuring tool missing? And what are the tools circled in red for? Also, if i click the Measurements box, I get a calculator of which purpose I am not sure of.

3D Text Tool bug
Subject tool in SKP 2023 was ready to overtype the default text string when the tool was initiated because said text was pre-selected. However, in version 2024.0.484 , the default text string needs to first be deleted. Is this a bug?

Inferencing in cad vs skp
I am unhappily being forced to migrate into the world of 3D AutoCAD. In that environment, I am unable to precisely move objects to different locations with the aid of inferencing. Especially in non-orthogonal views. With SKP, the inferencing system makes it easy since you can lock into an axis when you move. If anyone reading this is skilled at AutoCAD 3D inferencing, please clue me into a good learning source.

Good advice from Rich and Dave. Thanks!

RE: Windows file explorer icons
Oh - sorry Dave. I did not repair as an administrator. I did not see the option to do so. Settings > apps > installed apps > sketchup 2023 > modify > do you want this app to make changes to your device? > yes > repair> finish.

RE: Windows file explorer icons
Sketchup support just informed me that One Drive is the culprit. So I moved the folder out of One Drive and sure enough - the thumbnails appeared. So, in a microsoft community forum, I asked if they plan to resolve the issue.

RE: Windows file explorer icons
Microsoft forum says this:
"That is not a file type natively recognized by Windows, so the thumbnails will not be generated automatically, it may be best to contact the support for that Sketchup software about this, there may be a setting in that software that needs to be changed."I know for a fact it used to work perfectly with windows - but maybe on older versions of either the app or the windows version.

RE: Windows file explorer icons
AutoCAD thumbnails work.
Adobe PDF thumbnails work.
JPG thumbnails work.I tried:
Confirming the skp icons are associated with sketchup application being the default program.
I only have skp 23 installed in the PC, older versions have been removed.
I reinstalled skp 23 using the repair option.
I confirmed "Never show thumbnails - only show icons" is unchecked in folder view options. -
Windows file explorer icons
I was once able to display my collection of components (valves and stuff) as thumbnails vs. generic blue box sketchup icons. How can I make that happen again?
