In the last month or so I’ve discovered that the components window is for some reason indenting random components in the list view - which makes them look like subcategories of other components, which of course, don’t exist. Its super annoying, and I’m guessing something is corrupted somewhere. No other lists (like tags or materials) have the same issue. Anyone else seen this issue or solved it? If not, any suggestions of how I might fix it?
I updated my profile- thanks Dave. Any clues on this would be great. I use the list view as its more compact and easier to navigate if the components are clearly named and organized (easier said than done by I try).
I get the reasoning for using the List view and I also get the struggle to name all the components appropriately.
As for clues, I’m not certain. One thing you could try would be to repair the SketchUp installation. It might help and certainly won’t hurt anything. Find the downloaded installer or get it again from Download the latest version of SketchUp 3D modeling software | SketchUp and right click on it. Choose Run as administrator and when prompted click Repair. Long shot but it may help.
I think I’ve done that (repair) a week or so back but will try it again, good advice.
I store all my SU components (and materials and everything else) on my D drive (and thence copied to Dropbox). I don’t think I’ve changed that in 10 years (not a fan of having it buried in my user profile on my C drive). I would have thought that the components list is actually in my SU user files or something But its actively doing this to the file, which suggests its not a corrupt list file, but something about the install as you suggest. Very odd. Recently started with one of the recent updates I always dread for exactly this same reason (takes hours out of a work day). Minor problem, but annoying. Thanks for your help.
