Hi guys, having the same problem.

What operating system? Please complete your profile with OS and SU version.

Sorry Dave, Its Windows 7 64-bit with SketchUp 8 Pro on my work PC. As I say nothing has changed that I know of since I was last using the Add Location tool about 2 weeks ago. The same problem with a colleagues as well so possibly a network problem?

Hi guys, having the same problem. As soon as I 'grab' an area the 'add location' box stays, all the toolbars disappear and I stay in the 'add location' window, unless I exit, in which case nothing has been imported! I haven't made any updates since it was last working. Any suggestions?

I am drawing 4 different tanks within sketchup which I have made as 1 component which has worked great so far for making changes and editing etc.

My boss has now asked me to show the construction sequence from the first wall on the first tank, to the last wall on the last tank for a video presentation to the client (using different scenes). This will mean splitting everything up.

Within each tank the wall is getting built up in 8 different sections

Worst case (which I think I will have to do) is to make 8 x 4 (32) new layers - 1 for each section of wall, and scrap the component.

I ideally want to keep the component, and build up using minimal amount of layers.

Anyone think of a workaround? I.e. is there a way to have layers permanantly on in one component and temporary on another?
