I'm just going to send them all to you for cleanup Box... somehow it got components and materials back in it. I might have uploaded the wrong file. fixed.

Interestingly it was the Monet that I downloaded and cleaned without noticing that you had got them either swapped or both the same.
So the Monet needs looking into.
It's also not a bad idea to make them components, since you did call this a component thread, and it would help if they were orientated so that when you use Camera Front you actually see them from the front.I know I'm getting annoying now but you created the thread and gave it rules, so you should start as you want others to continue, otherwise you'll just end up with a thread full of 3D warehouse style random junk that isn't worth downloading.

I was under the impression that a component was just an skp that was saved into the component directory... How would you go about making it a component?
The Monet is so big because the texture is so big. it's 990kb by itself. I hate blurry textures. it could be optimized... but people can do that if they need to.
You're right they do need to face front. So I went through and fixed them. They should all be front facing now.
Don't worry about criticism... just makes the library better and I learn. So win/win.

You've confused me a bit with this, do you only make components by saving a whole skp to the component directory? Or am I misunderstanding you?
Select the geometry you want and right click and make component. This component can then be dragged from your in model component window to any component library window. It can then be used in other files. I guess that's what you mean by the component directory.

I right click make component and then right click save as when I'm inside a larger model. But, when I'm in a blank instance of sketchup I just save the model.
If you're just working on a component itself there's no reason to go through the other steps, unless like me your template has sections and layers and scenes in it. then the right click function will cleave that stuff off.

Ok I understand, but if you open the file, rather than stick it in your component library and bring it in as a component, it is an open component.
