I used the Get Models tool to find something that will work, like the striped sideboard by KARE in the top row below. Now say I want a sideboard in the room but don’t feel like modeling one from scratch. And everything in this model was created in this model – nothing imported from elsewhere. No loose geometry, which is the right way to model in SketchUp. So now I have two groups (room and table) and four components (chairs). I made the table into a group, and made the chair into a component which I copied three times. The rest of the model – the table and chair – consists of loose objects. The Outliner lets me know that this model contains one group (the room itself). I didn’t pay attention to scale and dimensions, which will become clear in a bit.
I also have a basic chair and table, created from scratch in the same model.
In this very simple example, I have an empty room (two walls and a floor), which I’ve made into a group so that other objects won’t stick to, or otherwise affect, the room. This post also discusses using Tape Measure with groups and components. In Part 1 of this series, I showed how to use the Tape Measure tool within groups or components, to resize only specific objects and not the entire model.
