Creating components

I'm sure there is an obvious answer to this but I've been looking thru the user manual for well over an hour. How do you add a component to the component browser so it can be accessed for use in other models?

Thanks for a response.

Right click on the component you want to use in your "in model" menu.
click save as,
on the Explorer menu that appears, click the down arrow to get to
Click Programs'
Google
SU 6
Components,
Then make your catagories there like appliances, railings etc.
I hope this works I am doing it from memory cause my component menu has disappeared and I cant find it! Have a good one.

I appreciate the response but I should have said that I am on a mac. I have tried looking for folders ect. that might contain the component files but I can't find them. On a mac I thought it would be in the Libraries folder/ Application support. There is a sketchUp folder there but it doesn't have any components in it.

Any one using a mac who might know how to do save a component for use in other models?

jmac,

do not forget there are 2 library/application support folders: one in your HD and another for the main user (actually, one for each user). you probably looked for it in the user's folder.

have a look at the image attached.

regards.
