I am not sure if SpaceDesign is capable, I was under the impression it did, but I use the same individual component items in several different building designs and would like to be able to not have to edit/add the details each time. So my question is will it save the price, weight, model number and a custom field and when you import/add it to a new design bring that information with it?
I have attached one of the pieces I am speaking about. This piece will be used every 12' of the exterior.
Thanks,
John

I have LK01 so I will download the new version and install it and give that a shot.
Thank you,

I loaded your model, and right clicked on the component to see the attributes.
If this is not what happens for you check to see if you have the latest version - LK27
If you have that and you do not get these attributes, then it may be that this is a bug we have fixed and we will have to post a new version.
Rich,
Yes, I am doing that but here is what my issue is. I setup the weight and item number and save the component. Then when I build the new structure using these items and run a report none of the previously saved data is there. Seems like it should work so I am sure I am missing a step somewhere.
Were you able to see the model, barcode # and other details on the attached component?
Yes - You can place the attributes in the component definition - and then save the definition to a component library using the SketchUp "Save as a local collection" command in the component window. Then use that local libtray to load the component into other models.
