Hi folks. Keep in mind that, for components, axes position is very important. You can reset these if they are not correctly positionned. Right click on an already made component and choose "Change axes" in the contextual menu The cutting plane used by a component is the one defined by its red and green axes. The cutting plane will also be positionned at the origin of the components axes. The easiest way to make a component is to draw it on an existing face, whatever its orientation. If done correctly, the cutting plane and axes will al be correctly placed and oriented. SU will even propose the automatic face cutting option. See attached SU file for ideas. Component making.skp
