AutoFit Live Components

Use SketchUp's AutoFit feature to place Live Components on faces, adjust their orientation and refit them.

Use SketchUp's AutoFit feature to fit compatible Live Components to flat faces in your model. Drag a component from the Components panel onto a flat face. The component adjusts its size and shape to fit the face.
