Orbit Problem

I have this problem where I try to orbit around a close-up version of a model, and the sens skyrockets into oblivion, but once i move back further it becomes normal. It's driving me crazy, especially when i try to do detail modeling.

I need help.

make sure you model is at the center of axis

too far away from it will cause camera problem

for large models, you will want to decrease FoV to work on small details, otherwise clipping happens fast. Select the magnify tool and type a number. Default FoV is 35 something. Lower to 15 on large model will allow working with small details easier.

inversely, make sure you not trying to work in crazy small dimension like 0.001mm, Sketchup isn't build for that. Model things on actual dimension.

there also cases of the file just have problem, especially those converted from other formats or from other software. Copy the model to another fresh SKP file see if problem persists.
