Preview of Components in Component list
-
%(#4040FF)[Hi there
Could you please advise how to get nice preview in Component catalogue.I enclose printscreen of nice gas hob Component as it is in the project and the preview of the same gas hob upside down in Components catalogue .]
-
Blue axis of the component must be upside down.
-
Place an instance.
Select it.
Use the Context-Menu to 'Change Axes'.
Set the red/green axes so the blue axis is in the right direction.
Now place another instance.
It should be the right way round.
Do a save_as on the component...
Overwrite the external SKP that is currently wrongly oriented, with this fixed one. -

The blue axis is up so correct. I attache the skp. Component. Still cannot figure it out

Works alright for me from the outset.
Here's my version [v8] which previews properly AND inserts correctly...
It is not the best set up SKP.
-
With it placed correctly, explode the parent component and make a new component of it.
That needs a lot of other help, though. There are quite a number of reversed faces that should be corrected and the component's file size could be quite a bit smaller if it was built correctly.

Could you advice any tutorial that shows how to set up similarly complicated Component in a proper way ?] -
Ht there, I still cannot figure out the way how to have nice new created Component preview in Components folder.
I attache present preview of Component and printscreen how I would like the preview to look like.

Set the view like you want then create the comp.
Or explode, purge unused, set the view like you want then create the comp.
