After you create dynamic component models, to CNC cut and build products you have to convert from components to groups — this component to group SketchUp conversion is a required step before exporting cut lists Convert Component to Group in SketchUp — Tutorial Video Steps by steps: To convert from component to group you have […]
When the SketchUp model has many groups or components nested in many layers and you need to edit them, you have to explode each layer — use the Explode Deep Selected tool to automatically flatten all nested groups faster.
