Select an instance of it and right-click, the context-menu item 'Save_As' then exports that component to a chosen location. A similar method is also available even if there are no instances - in the Component Browser hover over its icon in the Model pane and right-click again you have 'Save_As' again...
To use that component in another model use File > Import, or if it's in a folder in you Components' paths then pick it from there in the Component Browser.
Another way is to Edit > Copy an instance and then in the other model's window Edit > Paste [you choose the location] or Edit > Paste_in_Place to put it exactly where it was in the original model...

Hi Rod,

Every component has an insertion point. This point is the component's axes.
Normally, the axes is placed at one of the component's corner.
Use this point as the focus when placing a component to your model.
When you place a component and the insertion point seems placed in the middle of the component. Most probably, the axes is still at the component's corner, but you view it from the opposite side.
Insertion points in Dynamic Component behave differently though.

Hi RD,

Note however that most models in the WH are (or rather at least "supposed to be") real life (1:1) scale. So if you keep having scale issues, make sure that your scale is correct (1:1) and you are not working in smaller or bigger than real life.

Thanks Dave

I was having some trouble with a component you made it all clear

I guess I would start all over again. See this post post for the default setup of the Plugins folder.
