Thanks Dave, pretty simple when you think about it that way!

After I posted this yesterday, I found all the previous versions in the models component library and deleted them, thus removing all the # numbered versions which were confusing me!

Thanks for the quick reply and solution.

Hi,

I'm having a strange issue with 'duplicates' of components being created when I add them to my model from a library. Basically it seems like sketchup adds a new version of the component, and not just another inctance of the same component, and applies a # suffix. It doesn't let me remove this suffix as it says the component must be unique, and even if I delete all of the original non-suffix version of the component out of my model, I can't then rename the #1 versions. I am assuming there is some kind of cache which is not cleaning out to let me place or rename new versions of the component. There are no other iterations of said component(s) in the Outliner amd exploding and recreating the component in the file doesn't help either?

I've trawled a few forums and not come up with anyone else having the same issue though, so any help would be much appreciated!

Perfect, thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for!

Hi All,

New to Sketchucation and the forum, hopefully someone can enlighten me on what is surely a pretty straightforward fix!?

I work in exhibition design and have started using Sketchup for my visualisations. We work with aluminium profile extrusions and specific graphic sizes which can be either straight or curved, depending on the design.
So my question is, how do I create a curved surface at a specific size? For example I use a system which is made up of 800mm wide graphic panels at a few millimetres thick, and often want to have say, 3 straight ones in a line then an end one with a 45 degree curve. How do I ensure that the curved panel is exactly 800mm wide? Would it be a plugin to bend a straight panel or is there a simple way to draw a shape of a specific length and curve radius?

All advice and knowledge greatly received!

Cheers,

Rob
