Component Browser
The Component Browser allows you to insert and organize components for use with in your models. You can access the Component Browser from the "Window" menu. Using components will keep your file sizes small and efficient. To make your own component select some geometry you wish to make into a component, right or context click and choose “Make Component” from the context menu. Components are easily edited and when you make changes to one of the components every other component will change as well. If you ever have multiple copies of geometry in SketchUp, you should make sure they are components. If you are ever in need of a component try searching the 3D warehouse (see next tip)..
