Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about anything I talked about in this video. PLEASE make sure to watch the section on components - they can be a massive timesaver for you when working with repeating objects in SketchUp!

hiii
when I use the move tool and mouse over a group, there are are no red crosses.

Hi, thanks for the great videos. at 16:50 when you do the move tool and divide by 3, can you explain how you did that? I tried to recreate that by watching and listening to your clicks, but I get mixed results and most of the time it just actually moves the cylinder. It look like you made sure only the top circle was selected first?
I made sure control was pressed as well. Thanks
