br0604bom Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 what are the best working methods when working in sketch up? is it best to create everything as components so you don't have this thing where things stick together, or are their other methods that you more experienced guys stick to?

f700es Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 That is a good way to work. Using groups and components can save you time and trouble. Don't forget layers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boofredlay Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 That is correct. As for groups and components. Create components if you plan on repeating something. That way if you need to change one, all the other components with the same name will change as well. Otherwise just make groups. However, a group or component is no different as far as file size is concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
