You can insert a component instance into your model by selecting an existing component in the Components panel, by importing a saved component file into your model, or by downloading the component from 3D Warehouse.

To insert a component using the Components panel, follow these steps:

1. Open the Components panel.
2. Navigate to the collection where your component is saved
3. Select the component you want to add to your model.
4. Click in the drawing area to place the component in your model.

If you have a SketchUp model or component saved to your hard drive, you can import them into your model by following these steps:

1. Select File > Import.
2. Locate the file you want to import.
3. Select the file and click Open. SketchUp will load the component into your model with the Move tool activated.
4. Click in the drawing area to place the component in your model.
