How many components are in the model or the collection you are viewing? I've seen the components window freeze SketchUp (spinning beachball of death) while generating the thumbnails for a large list of components. If I wait long enough, it eventually wakes up. Having a lot of unused components in the model aggravates this problem.

92 components with 3,500 instances. Strange thing is, even with every single component exploded (as an experiment) the same behaviour occurs.

Try Window>Model Info>Statistics>Purge Unused.

Thanks for the reply. Followed your suggestion with no luck.

In one particular file only, whenever I attempt to open the Components panel, the app stops responding forcing me to force quit and re-open.

I've even exploded every single component in the file, saved as new file, re-opend and tried opening the Components panel with the same result.

What else can I try to recover this model?

Thanks for any advice.

Can someone please tell me what has happened to the Plugin menu (Mac Pro Eval Version )??

You have to have something in the plugin folder in order for the menu to appear

(and the plugin folder isn't the same as for su7. You have to move or copy them to the su8 plugin folder)

Thanks for that!

Nice work. I would pay a little attention to the scaling of the palms as they seem a tad undersized.
