I'm experiencing the same problem as depicted in Phil Rader's video.
Adding this line of code did not work but it did change the behavior slightly.

After adding Jim's line of code instead of zooming out as soon as the SWE window opens it now zooms out as soon as I click the "CREATE" button.

Are there modifications to that line of code that will make it not zoom to extents?
Something like: .zoom_extents_NO

thanks
Dave

Phil,

First thought would be to add this line after line 822 in Plugins/swivelButtonPlugin/swivelButton.rb

> Sketchup.active_model.active_view.zoom_extents
