      And, Thank You, Walt for making me wonder about this. I had not needed to do this specific verification before, but I could not believe you couldn't pull up this info in some way. There is probably some other way to get the info that I am not aware of.

      I was just curious, I picked one that looked professional but had to change from metric to imperial and their were lots to choose from, hard to tell what they looked like from thumbnails.

      Dear Walt and all, I have always found the gluing and cutting option for a component, and the management of the axes remarkably unclear. Here is the SketchUp Guide reference text. Fortunately the SketchUp sages had come Here is a reminder (avoiding doubling informations): -> @dave r said: ->The red/green plane is the gluing plane. When you create the component you need to adjust the axes so the red/green plane is in the right plane and the right location. ->when you set the axes for the component, make sure the origin is in a location that makes it easy to insert them into the model. -> @tig said: ->A gluing/cutting component has a special axis arrangement - the blue axis is always perpendicular to the face it's placed onto. ->When you make a gluing / cutting component create it on a face so that its axes are automatically set correctly on creation ->You can always change a component's axes after creation using the right-click context-menu 'change-axes' -> @gaieus said: ->Whenever it's possible, I start my gluing/cutting components on an existing face. Draw a rectangle, and make it a component. This component is automatically set to glue and to cut opening in this case. -> Since it is still 2D, setting the gluing plane (grey area) is still easy. ->The component origin will also be the default insertion point when you drag it from the component browser later. -> Also notice the special axis system of the component. Its gluing/cutting plane is always its red/green plane and the blue axis is "X'ed out". ->(When you right click on a component like this and save it "as" and open the new file, therefore the parts of the component are lying on its "back"). -> Once you created the component as a starting rectangle, you can go on editing and add details to it and it will retain its gluing and cutting properties as long as there is a closed, co-planar loop of loose/raw edges on that gluing plane inside the component. Here is my cent: ->the gluing option (vertical, horizontal,..) refers to the faces of the model on which we are going to glue our component. -> whatever the axes you choose, they are glued to the faces invariably the same. This represents a good basis to predict how to place the axes.. [image: thComponentGlueTo_005.jpg] -> My solution(also described by Gaieus) constits in positioning the geometry (this is simpler if it is set as a group) around the existing axes. See the video: [flash=690,400:11xbb94w]http://www.youtube.com/v/xYPAg1S1kVw[/flash:11xbb94w] ++simon

      Dovetail plugin

      I decided to add another way to detail drawers and add dovetails to the corner joints using some other plugins and my K2WS_Tools. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=39870 My process is to use a starting drawer component I created that has 1 dr box side, 1 dr box end, dr bottom and an added front. (I happen to build most drawers as complete drawer box which has a drawer front added.) I bring this component into my drawing re size with Fredo6 FreeScale, complete the box, add dovetails, then use BooTools Difference to add the bottom slots. The reason I start with only a partial box is that if there are 2 instances of a component (think sides) that re-size then one of these components is made unique and has a new name. So this way I make the copies after re-sizing and only have one side component. To demonstrate this process I have uploaded 2 videos to YouTube: Part 1 shows some of my drawing style and completing the drawer. Part 2 shows how my K2WS_Tools is used to add thru dovetails and how BooTools is used to make the bottom slots. These are my very first videos so be kind with comments about the presentation but see if this would fit your sketch-up workflow.
