Free 2017 problem

I am using the free 2017 version I know by reading through posts on forum that the 3D warehouse no longer supports this version. I am a casual user so don’t want to buy a version. However I still want to get items when I can. One post suggests I go to the tab in my model to search. I’m lost can’t figure it out. Can you help me? I normally use this program for furniture as I build things as a hobby for family and friends. Any help would be appreciated.

Look for the Components panel in the Default Tray. If it’s not there, enable it in Window>Default Tray.

How about completing your profile so you don’t have to add the SketchUp version every time you post?

Thanks I just couldn’t figure out how to get it in my model. I could see it in the component window but didn’t understand how to do it.
Thanks
Ps I’ll update my profile

How to get what? The component?

Thanks for updating your profile.
