Components created but don't show in Component Browser
-
Sorry to bother you. Was just hoping to get answers to my specific questions, that's all. Things happen and I don't know why. I am not over-complicating just asking for answers to things that happen when I use Sketchup.
-
It's not about bothering - I just did not understand some of the issues you raised.

Ok, if you will indulge me then, lets go one by one. I thought this was a pretty simple question but maybe I am not asking it in the right way since you are confused by my question:
"1. It's not only components that show up in the component browser? Geometries show up in there too?"
If you click on Window|Components in that file I sent you, you will see a 'component'chen there called 'BC Kitchen Side". That appeared not to be an actual component as you informed me when you examined my file, yet it showed up in the browser. Hence, the above question.
-
Components are sort of "wrappers" for geometry (or other entities like image). So mostly you get all this geometry showing up in a component. But other than what is (in a) component, should not show up in your component browser. I am pretty sure about this.
-
If you could, could you check that file I posted because the geometry does show up there
-
Well, this is what you have there. 2 components, no "raw" geometry. (I moved the bottom component up to separate it from the other component just for the visual demonstration)

Thanks. I understand. Someone on here kindly and generously gave me a long online tutorial on geometry vs components and now I fully understand the many things I was not understanding properly. You have been a help too. All my questions (so far) are answered. Thanks.
