Modeling with Groups and Components
In this chapter, we will discuss principles of modeling in SketchUp when it comes to “sticky geometry.” Sticky geometry is why we need to have Groups and Components, among other reasons. We will also discuss the importance of modeling using Groups and/or Components.
The following topics are covered:
- Sticky Geometry
- Cleaning up models with Groups and Components
- Understanding when to use Groups and Components
