Hi all,
I am new to this forumn, but not to sketchup.
I am wondering if there is a way to tell a bunch of individual components within a sketchup model to no
longer be unique.
Heres the situation...I have imported a 3ds model that was originally an Archicad model into sketchup.
It came in pretty nicely and is very much usable as a base for a more refined Sketchup model.
There are about 4000 individual uniquely named components in this model even though many of them are exactly
identical. For intance, a nice 14" dia tuscan looking column component is repeated 20 times, but they are all
unique only in name, so when I edit one the others do not change.
Is there a way to rename & relink these components so I don't have to edit each individualy?
The only thing I can think of is to rename one and do a save as, & then bring it back in & replace each of the
others manualy. Thats a bit time consuming in that there are aproxomately 100 individual copper standing seam
arched roof panel components just in the entry area alone.
Any thoughts out there?
If this is the wrong place to post a question, I apologize.
Thanks
Pmo
