      Hi there,
      I have problem with subtracting two components. both are quite simple. Have you any idea how to subtract it?

        Subtract requires that both components/groups be solid. Your Component#10 is not solid due to the internal face shown in red. If you remove that face, the Subtract tool will work.

        The simple definition of a "solid" in SketchUp is that every edge is shared by exactly two faces. In the case of your Component#10, the edges at the bottom of the chamfer are shared by three faces, not two.

        Solid Inspector can fix it or you can easily fix this one without any extensions.
