      The component function in make component is sometimes broke. The big components make the name component menu not work. the component name menu just doesnt show up. I think it has something to do with component inside the component. Can components be made of components?

        yes they can... I have also noticed that sometimes the dialog box does not come up, but if you repeat normally it has to do with something already being in a group.

          You can view a listing of components and any components contained within:

          Open the 'Model Info' dialog box, and select 'Statistics' from the left-hand column. Select 'Only components' from the right-hand drop-down list. Also check the box 'Show nested components'

          (And there's your SketchUp terminology -- 'Nested' components.)

          You can obtain similar results with the 'Outliner' window.

              Or you can just use the Outliner to see all your components/nested components.
