      I feel like this has to be a simple thing that I'm missing and I'm a bit embarrassed that I haven't figured it out yet through searching here and elsewhere.

      I'm using sketchup for takeoffs and I'd like to drop a component with a single click, move to the next item, drop another component and so on around the drawing.

      Right now, after I place a component, the move tool is selected so i have to click back in the component browser, or move and copy with a few more clicks and keyboard. I want a stamp option basically I guess.

      What would be the easiest way to do this. I use FlexTools Component Finder as a component browser but I'm open to all options.

      Thanks for any help you can provide.

        Is it the same component you are placing repeatedly? If so, you could use ThomThom's Repeat Place Component.

        Please add your SketchUp version and operating system to your profile.
