      Hi all,

      Working on a kitbash library for SketchUp and would really like to be able to make my own component icons. Sorta like this:

      https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3788438/3D/componentcions.jpg

      OR. Is there a 3rd party component palette one can use? Thanks!
      Some components below...

        SketchUp defines the thumbnail on save. So you would need to insert the image you want as the thumbnail into the model and have that in view when you save.

        Aerilius has an Upload to 3D Warehouse with Custom thumbnail extension so it seems defining the thumbnail is possible just not exposed to mere mortals.

        I though renaming the .skp to .zip might reveal the innards of the file but not so.
