How to edit imported 3D object
-
How I can edit imported 3D object in SketchUp Pro? Or is it not possible? After the import the object is like "locked".
-
What is the object you're importing? Where are you importing it from? If it's really locked, it'll show a red bounding box when you select it. Right click on it and choose Unlock. Then you can open it for editing. If it is simply a blue box, it isn't locked. Just double click on it with Select or right click and choose the appropriate option--Edit Component or Edit Group.

It is a blue box. I have imported 3D Step files. I double click it an choose Edit Component. But still I can't activate the single line with the Arrow tool! I can only rotate the hole element.

Is there any chance you can share the SKP file or at least a screen shot showing themodel when you have opened the component for editing? Otherwise we'll be here all day playing twenty questions trying to get this sorted out.
Maybe it's a nested component? It could be a lot of things but you haven't given us enough information. Help us help you.

Get the Select tool and double click on it somewhere. It'll open for editing. It might be that it's made up of sub-components. If you see more blue bounding boxes, double click again to open for editing. Do that until you get to the edges and faces.

Thanks, this helped me.
