The session during which the problem started was the same session that allowed me to create the lower portion of the piece. I was unable to make the shelf into a component, same issue as above. The shelf acted as if it were part of the side. Then I tried making a second element (a shelf). Then I deleted all of the Hutch parts, selected all of the lower cabinet, copied it then pasted it into a new file, problem described above persisted. I even tried deleting all of the Hutch parts and starting over. All of the components of the lower cabinet that I made first are behaving appropriately. If I again select the appropriate parts and right click, the “explode” function is grayed out, but the make component is still there. I would select the appropriate part of the model, right click on the selected parts, select “Create Component” making sure the “Replace selection with Component” was checked, then clicked on “Create.” If I then tried to select the part that was supposed to be a component, It acted like a component hadn’t been made. After completing the chest (everything was going well) I made one side of the Hutch, but was unable to create component from the drawing. I began making a model of a chest of drawers with a hutch on top.

Currently, I am using Sketchup 16 on Mac OS X 10.11.2. I hope this makes sense, it’s actually a hard one to describe.Have been using Sketchup for a long time to create models of things I want to build in my woodworking workshop.

we just select our whole libraries and run this little code on them and it updates all their definition paths to their current entity info definition name and then the can be saved as a collection with the appropriate names. I can give you the snippet of code i wrote to solve the issue for me. because now when you have 3 unique components derived from a source component definition that has been saved, the only thing that saves in the collection is the original definitions path.

I believe this is a pretty serious problem for anyone who has build large libraries and updates the components and wants to update naming conventions.
You will not find this problem on components that have not been saved to a local folder. But if you do a “save as” on this unique cube, it wants to save it as it’s original name “cube.skp” i believe this is because the definition path that is created for that component on it’s initial “save as” does not update when made unique. if you make the 3rd cube unique it’s name becomes “cube#1” in the entity info window, it is an unique component, with a unique name. You select 1 cube and “save as” in a local folder, now all 3 cubes have a “cube.skp” file path as part of their definition (discovered through the console) however this definition is only held in the current model instance of Sketchup, it is not yet a “cube.skp” meaning there is no file path for the newly created cube. so we have 3 instances of the “cube” definition. You create a cube and make it a component and copy 3 times. Note: i use the ruby console and API heavily so this is how i discovered our problem. here is the problem as far as i have been able to break it down.

Duplicate to your hearts desire, and delete the full length studs that are in way of the new window. Shorten your unique object to an approximate length cripple stud, and then turn that 'unique' short stud into a new component called 'cripple1'. but we found the same issue when updating the naming conventions. For now, just guess at the height of your sill. I have been working on this issue for a large list of component we use for the company i work for, we just did a large overhaul of our massive libraries and needed to update them for some in house extensions. The folder will have in it just cube.skp. Right click the 3rd instance and do a Save As into a new local folder.Create a simple component with definition name cube.Also, the name(s) of the skp files shown in the Saved Collection Folder are the original component names not what is shown in the component window for the Saved Collection. After doing Save to Local Collection observe similar results where the entire set of in model components are not saved, only one cube, one cone, one sphere is saved. Make 2 copies of each component and make them unique. If step 4 below is skipped, File>Import, the Save to Local Collection works as expected and all the components in the model appear in the Saved Collection folder.Īn alternate way to reproduce this issue, is import three components into a SketchUp file, either by using file>import or drag and drop them into the model. Below is a similar set of steps which I found reproduces this issue. I discovered this behavior while doing an exercise in the the book SketchUp 2016 Hands-On: Basic and Advanced Exercises by Bonnie Roskes. I have found when importing components into a model and then selecting them and making them unique components, the Save to Local Collection doesn’t always save all the components in the model.
