Is it possible to use sketch up component to create windows?
I want to use a sketch up component to be able to modify the size or the position of many windows at one time. I tried to draw one window then to create a component and then do copy paste, but when I went in the OS inspector there was only one subsurface created. Moreover when I saved, quited and reopened my model, all the windows had disappeared exept the first one.
Do you know if we can use Sketch up component ?
thanks

That's a good question. The short answer is that there isn't a very easy way to do this, but i'll give it some thought tonight and try to post some possible solutions. For now you could place components at top level vs. in space. Then explode a copy of them and use "project loose geometry" to make OSM sub-surfaces.
In the past we thought about treating windows more like shading surfaces and interior partitions; a group of surfaces that sit within a space. We also considered making sub-surface geometry description a resource that could be shared so you could have window types.
