      Another small thing that's driving me nuts

      I am trying to make a couple of component libraries
      Why are some components when you click "save as" into the designated folder updating their thumbnails and others not? Sometimes I like to change the viewpoint and update the component to see this back in the thumbnail.

      I just cant figure this one out!

          An alternative to the right click, Save as... thing is to open the destination folder in the secondary pane of the Compnonents window. Set the top one to In Model. Then drag the components from In Model to the secondary pane. If you are making a bunch of components that all belong in the same collection, i.e. windows or door knobs, and you are making them in the same SketchUp file, you can open the Details menu in the Components window and choose Save as a local collection and make the library in one swell foop.
