Editing All Instances of a Component

Editing all instances of a component

To edit all instances of a component, follow these steps:

  1. Open the context for the component you want to edit. In this example, that's the Picket component. To open the context, you can double-click the component. Or select it, context-click the selection, and choose Edit Component, or simply hit Enter.
  2. Use the SketchUp drawing tools to edit your component. In this example, we used the Line, Tape Measure, 2 Point Arc, and Push/Pull tool to change the top of the Picket component. All component instances change as you draw.

    When you edit a SketchUp component definition, all component instances update automatically
     
  3. Click outside the component's context and save your work. SketchUp automatically updates the component definition to reflect your edits.
