Problems editing a copied component

I have another Mac and can try there.

OK, it works fine on El Capitan. Must be a bug on Sierra.

I put a link to this topic over on the macOS Sierra topic to see if anyone else can reproduce the problem.

We’ll take a look, but I still value any feedback from other folks running Sierra as well.

Thanks,
Marc

I have Sierra GM (released yesterday) installed, and I’m trying it. Can you give some more specific steps so I can try to reproduce this?

Well, if you download the file posted earlier, it contains a table in which a copy of a leg has been moved to the side, exploded, intersected with a copy of an apron (to get tenon holes), and then the extra cleaned up. The test is to select all the geometry in that edited leg, create a component from it, and give the new component the name ā€œLegā€ in the create component dialog. Answer yes when SU asks if you want to replace the existing definition.

On my Mac under El Cap, it works fine. On the OP’s Mac using Sierra, the attempt to create a component is reported to fail.

That is NOT crashing for me with SketchUp 2016 on macOS Sierra 10.12 (16A320). Please retry.

He didn’t say crash, just didn’t do anything!

Oops. Well, it did replace all. Triple click on any leg, and it selected all 5.

Hmm…so we’re back to the possibility of something specific to that Mac (or perhaps a particular beta release of Sierra). I don’t have Sierra (and don’t plan to get it until I know SU is reliable on it), so I can’t test this myself.

If there are any Sierra issues, we’ll test immediately to see if we can reproduce them, and that process is made easier now that we have the final release build.
