I’m new to Sketchup and have seen others with this same problem but haven’t been able to resolve it myself.

The component that I drew can not be push/pulled.

What am I doing wrong?

THANK YOU!! How did you figure that out?

The Sketchup Fundamentals is a great learning resource.

Because components cannot be push/pulled. Only faces can.

To operate upon a face within a component geometry context, you must enter that context by double-clicking it, or select and choose “Edit Component” from the right-click context menu.
