      okay, I just watched the video on how to array components. it seems easy enough except I can't figure out where/how to type in the commands!!
      for example, say I want to make 50 copies of a group. where do I type "50x"? in the Measurements input box? whenever I put an x or a / in the measurements box it says "invalid distance entered". I can't imagine you just type the commands into thin air after moving the object.
      any help appreciated, this is frustrating

        nevermind, I figured it out. you have to press enter to finish the move and then type it in and press enter again.

          Let's have the solution here so the next SketcherUp with the same problem might Google up exactly what they need.

          You don't type into the VCB. It is a reporter, not an input box. You just type (right, you type into thin air!) and nothing you type matters until you press Enter.

          Oh, yeah. The VCB (Value Control Box) is that box in the lower-right corner. Recent Google docs have been giving it other names, such as Measurements Box.
