      Hi,

      I used to work on skp 2015, but recently upgraded to 2017.
      Before, i managed to make groups with a keyboard shortcut then right clic and selected "make component" to make one. This was quite fast in the process, as any dialog box opened.
      Now, when i right clic (or use shortcut) to make a component, the component dialog box opens and takes a while when I select "create". This makes my workflow uselessely being slower...
      Is someone knowing any trick to avoid that dialog box to open ?

      Thx

        Your post reminded me that I too wanted this function so with help from TIG I made this little Plugin.
        To install put it in: C:\Users\Your user name\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2018\SketchUp\Plugins
        and start SketchUp. You'll find it under extensions -> To Component
        Add it to a shortcut and you will have a quick way of creating a component from the selected geometry.

          RBZ that and stick it on the ExtensionStore. It's a great utility.

          Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–

            Ok I will but I think I will see if I can add some features.
            I'm thinking how it works with ungrouped vs grouped entitys. As it is now if you run it on a group it will create a component with a group in it. I think it would be better if it just converted the group to a component.
            I'll see what I can do.

              Here it is with some added features.

              @unknownuser said:

              Makes a component without the Component Dialog.
              If the selection is only 1 group it converts the group to a component.
              If the selection is more than 1 item, a component will be made with nested groups or components or loose geometry as they were.
              Add a shortcut for quick use.
