Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you accidentally messed up the default view in SketchUp and couldn’t figure out how to get it back? Don’t worry, resetting the default view in SketchUp is actually quite simple. In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of resetting the default view in SketchUp.
Step 1: Accessing the View menu
To begin, open SketchUp and make sure you have a model open. Look for the “View” option on the top menu bar. Click on it to access the dropdown menu.
Step 2: Navigating to “Face Style”
Within the View dropdown menu, locate and hover over “Face Style”. This will reveal another submenu with various options.
Step 3: Selecting “Monochrome” as Face Style
In the Face Style submenu, click on “Monochrome”. This will change your model’s appearance to a single color scheme, making it easier to reset the default view.
Step 4: Resetting Camera Position and Perspective
Now that your model is displayed in monochrome, it’s time to reset the camera position and perspective. Go back to the View dropdown menu and navigate to “Camera”.
A new submenu will appear.
- Selecting “Zoom Extents”
- In this submenu, click on “Zoom Extents”. This action will automatically adjust your camera position and perspective so that your entire model fits within view.
Step 5: Returning to Default Face Style
Congratulations! You have successfully reset the default view in SketchUp. Now it’s time to restore the original face style of your model.
- Accessing “Face Style” Again
- Return to the View dropdown menu and hover over “Face Style” once more.
Step 6: Selecting “Shaded with Textures”
In the Face Style submenu, click on “Shaded with Textures”. This will bring back the default face style of your model, including colors and textures.
And there you have it! By following these simple steps, you can easily reset the default view in SketchUp.
Remember to access the View menu, select Monochrome as Face Style, reset camera position and perspective using Zoom Extents under Camera, and finally restore your desired face style. Happy modeling!
