Convert disoriented group copies into component instances

[brookefox]

The faces are identical except for their locations. I want them to be the same component (that is, copies of the same component), but so far have not succeeded. Is there an easy way. When I group each face with its edges they are all different groups, not copies of the same. I know I can place a component onto each face and then edit that to be what I want but I'd like something quicker if possible.

Merci, Pilou. I don't think I need Chris' PI for this as I have no problem selecting the faces that I want. I'm not sure how the TIG code bits help, either. I want each face or each face group to be made into an instance of the same component.

Your mark-up tool is very nice, though. Is it available in English?
