Adding Premade Components and Dynamic Components
Components in SketchUp turn geometry in a model into reusable entities. For example, most buildings have at least one door and window. Instead of modeling these common objects, you can insert a component that you have already made, or even one made by someone else.
Like all geometry in SketchUp, a component is still made of edges and faces. The edges and faces are part of a special component group.
