I've seen some similar reports in the past. Someone from the SketchUp team has, on occasion, been able to recover the components in the file. Those were from SketchUp Pro, though. You could ask on the SketchUp Community Forum and maybe one of the SketchUp team will help you. Please complete your forum profile with SketchUp version and operating system.

I would have loved to have a i7 system back then however I was able to purchase the FX CPU, motherboard, and RAM for less than the cost of just the i7 CPU at the time. Also, one would assume an overclocked FX "3 core" 4.2ghz AMD CPU would perform better than a 2 core 3ghz Intel CPU (the e8400 I upgraded from) In some ways It was better, but it more ways it was worse.

Hi mmrajote, hi folks. Make sure that the gluing property of the component is set to any. Just ideas.
