Hi I was following a component lesson in the fundamentals course where the instructor made a pillar a component but after he copied the pillar he made a component I noticed he then selected the original component and both pillars were copied together. However when I try to replicate what he did only that one component is being copied. Not sure why, can you assist?
From what you described it sounds like he opened the component for editing and selected the geometry of the column and used Move/Copy to make the copy.
A common new-user error is to create the component open it for editing, and copy the geometry within when they really want multiple instances (copies) of the object. In most cases you should single click on the component and move/copy the object.
