dialogue missing, maybe on second screen

    This issue is typically caused by a bug in SketchUp.

    The easiest way to resolve this issue is to install and run this extension:
    https://forums.sketchup.com/t/extension-dialog-cascader-for-ruby-extension-dialogs/277590

    If running the extension above does not work, please try the following: 

    First click the button that should open the dialog and after doing so I assume SketchUp drops focus

    As shown above the Title bar for SketchUp is dimmed meaning another dialog has focus.

     

    Now follow the steps below:

    Alt and Spacebar together brings up the maximize/minimize/close menu on whatever window has focus.

    m then selects Move in that menu and changes the cursor to the 4 arrow symbol over the title bar of the dialog (where m is the default in your language for move)

    tap any arrow will attach the cursor to the title bar (the other option here is to click and hold the mouse and it will drag it into view, but you risk missing the title bar and grabbing nothing.)

    moving the mouse without clicking moves it into view.

    Click to finish drops the dialog at that point.

     

    Let me know this solves your problem for you.

    I should add that the other dialogues open ok.  Presumably as i last open them on the main screen too.   also reset all the toolbars in sketchup

    thank you
