Need Help With Components

[tharin]

Hello everyone,

I'm importing a dwg file (master plan) to sketchup with about 200 "exactly same" apartment building drawings. I'd like to know if there is a way to make these same apartment drawings into one single component so that i can replace the modelled apartment with the apartment drawing with one step.

Any help would be appreciated

Yes you can!
But all your appartments must be "components" themselve!

After I don't know what the plugin accepts as complexity component ?

Maybe this can help you for make components first ? By TIG

Copy all this "one line" inside the ruby console! Press Enter

m=Sketchup.active_model;
m.start_operation("Faces>Compos");
n=m.active_entities;m.selection.to_a.each{|e|(g=n.add_group(e.all_connected);
g.to_component.definition.name="FaceSet#1")if e.valid? and e.parent==n.parent and e.class==Sketchup;;Face};
m.commit_operation
