Say I want to keep all the treads as one component because I may have to fix the nose of all of them later. But for now the riser of the top tread needs to be lowered slightly without lowering them all. Thats what Im getting at.

Greetings great masters of Sketchup. The question is, say I have a run of stair treads and the are compartmentalized as one component. Now, I want to make one tread different one time and not make it unique. Is there a basic function I am missing. I have the ApplyTo plugin but that is not what I need for this I suspect. Thanks Much Gentlemen

Dave, thank you very much. You guys are such a big help and I appreciate it. this is just a quick moc up for quoting be even so I am finding I need to use components habitually like you say.

What if I want to texture uniquely like I did for the treads but they are a component. They will all change.

Please view images. I give more explanation. I will check the apply to plugin. That sounds like what i'm looking for. Is there and videos or commentary on how it works or is it real straight forward?

Another way to say it. Is there a way to turn all groups into a component after they are all laid out. If not can someone please create this as a plugin and let me know where and when I can get it? haha

I am designing a curved stair. At this point I just drew a quick moc up for quoting purposes . I didnt make my treads or risers components. Normally I would . Now say I want to put attachment holes in all the risers. Is there a way to do it to just one and match all of them to that. I downloaded the Match properties plugin but it wont work the way I hoped. Can anyone help?

Its Light-up. Product of Adam Billyard. Im a beginner compared to some of the stuff I see out there. Im just blown away and strive to be as good.

Thanks all, I ran out of time and decided to redo it. These Tips will help for next time. THANKS! Heres a shot of it.

Isnt there a good sizing plugin. I have to re size my pictures to post them.

Hi all, Quick question. I designed a spiral stair to an opening of 65"x65". It has changed to 64.125x64.125. How do I resize the girth without changing size of other materials thickness or and dims along Z axis. Thanks Much
