Preferences

The Preferences dialog box contains 10 distinct tabs that allow for global preferences to be updated for each installation of SketchUp Pro. The Preferences tabs are not as easily sorted into groups as the Model Info tabs. The Preferences tabs range from drawing and accessibility options to default saving locations and keyboard shortcuts. The Preferences dialog box can be activated in the Window dropdown of the Main Menu:

Figure 10.43 – Window | Preferences

Like the Model Info dialog box, the Preferences dialog box cannot be resized. Different settings can be accessed by clicking a tab name on the left of the dialog box, and the settings for each tab will be visible on the right side of the dialog box. Additional settings on the Shortcuts and Template tabs may need to be viewed by scrolling down in the dialog box. In the following sections, we will review all of the Preferences tabs and their unique options.
