When I drape a group containing a few instances of the same component only one gets draped… I wrote that somewhere in the past.
But since Drape Tool is actually able to drape many levels deep it wasn’t quite obvious for me that I shouldn’t have components involved (specifically to avoid making it unique- not that it won’t work)… And I am using sKetchup over 10 years… I guess it is good for now (or even for ever) to make a habit of draping on groups\components containing only loose geometry. If there’s only one instance of the component or you are right clicking on something that isn’t a component, Make Unique won’t be an option. Automatic unique-ing saves maybe some time but it wrecks havoc in my outliner and makes file bigger too…I think it is worth that extra time for some more testing if the component needs to be actually unique… Make Unique will be found in the right click Context menu if you click on a component that has other instances in the model. To create a component, click and drag a box around a group of items to select them. The GMC Sierra AT4 got a two-inch lift and an array of parts that make it. You can tell that if you open the component for editing and select all of the faces in the top one. E) Semester 3 & 4, Third Year Engineering (T.
Sketchup make components unique update#
ICF 280 series component originals.skp (806.That is a nessesary feature of the Drape command.īut it is draping on a group and nothing gets draped on those specific components… I do understand why drape needs to make component unique if You have something draped on it… but it shouldn’t be so automatic as to make unique absolutely everything because we simply use drape… There could be some extra checking involved… Like making an instance of component unique when Drape needs to access its definition… (modify it to be more precise… I guess it is accessing it already to get the geometry for draping base). If you do not want one of the copies to update or you want to take one of the copied components and make it into a new stand-alone component you can right click. You’ve made the top level unique but not the component inside so painting the faces in one will show in the other. PS - I have never shared a drawing before so not sure if I have done it correctly If I make all my small parts components, when I wish to copy the larger piece (made from multiple components) and show a progression of activities, i.e. Its worth noting that I have just started using flex tools component finder, but have since disabled that as I thought it might be causing the problem, alas the problem persists… If I right click on the icon of the component in its folder and select properties then the name shows up with a #1 attached to it despite the icon name not showing the #1. Prior to dragging them in I purged the component ‘in model’ window. In Other Uses, you'll see how this technique can be. If you click on the blocks in the red rectangle you will see that their definition has had #1 added to it without me making it unique. The main example uses one book component to make stacks of different-sized books in a bookcase. For tips on making selections, see Selecting geometry. The blocks on the green rectangle are ones that I have dragged in from that folder, if you click on them you will see their definition is correct. Follow these steps to create a component: Select the geometry you want to include in your component. The blocks on the right are the originals that have been saved to a folder. I have attached the original drawing where I made the components so you can see the issue. To change only one copy of a component, select the component. The change will be applied to all the components. To change all the copies of the component in the model, double-click into one component and make your change.
Sketchup make components unique windows 10#
Last night was a Windows 10 update that lasted hours. In the pop-up window, give the component a name and click Create.
There is no longer a ‘Make Unique’ option in the list. So, I XX-clicked the entire group to edit, then XX-clicked the single Horse, then R-clicked it.
Indeed I can still do it for some, but some are coming in as unique. One of the Horse components needs a unique saddle. I have always been able to drag the original component into a drawing regardless of how many unique copies I have. Then select all the unique textures > r-click > Combine Textures. R-click on each textured face > Make Unique Texture. I understand when you make a component unique it will assign it the next number available, what I am not understanding is why when I try to drag the original component into a drawing SU automatically makes it unique. I’ll have to look into that - thanks for the info catamountain February 22, 2016, 10:22pm 12.
