Saving Components

How to save out components in Sketchup for reuse later

[@katiewenta8669]

A very old vid, and still helpful today. Thanks so much.

Note: if components don't show up in component browser, you probably don't have to close sketchup and reopen it. There's a "refresh" menu item in the components window that will do the trick.

When I save a component, it does not save to color and it just comes up as black and white.. any way I can save the color and texture as well?

Thankyou!

is there anyway to store components but still allow them to be editable when you insert them into the sketchup

[@ericschimel]

They are always editable. Just double click on them
