Delete all text and dimensions from your upload component, unless it is required for product placement information.

Text is dynamic in SketchUp. It orients with the model as the designer orbits the model. Text size is determined during design, with an eye toward final presentation. If the user did not place the text, chances are that your text will not be useful to them. Text and dimensions within components creates extra work to delete them prior to use.

  • Use Window > Model Info > Text > Select All Leader Text then Edit > Delete to delete leader text.
  • Use Window > Model Info > Text > Select All Screen Text then Edit > Delete to delete screen text.
  • Use Window > Model Info > Dimensions > Select All Dimensions then Edit > Delete to delete all dimensions.

Keep in mind that the above steps work only within the current context. So if you have text or dimensions inside of subcomponents, you need to edit into those components to delete any text and dimensions.
