Suggest two solutions. Scale model to a larger size. Also, have you tried using Section Cuts? By removing everything ahead of the work area you can get to the work area better. To remove the "film" of Section Cuts, go to View and un check Sections.

I have reviewed several of your models in 3D Warehouse. Very impressed.
Today is my first on any Sketchup forum.
Have created several models. Your models make me want to reach that next level in my learning curve. Thanks for the inspiration.
Where do you get your colors? Like Wood Cherry Original that is found in your White and Modern room?
