To open the context, you can double-click the component. Open the context for the unique component.By making the instance unique, you’re basically creating a new component based on your original. If you have the Entity Info panel open, you see that SketchUp changes the Definition by adding #1, or something similar. Context-click the selected instance and choose Make Unique, as shown in the figure.Select the component instance that you want to edit.Follow these steps to edit one instance but leave the other component instances as they are: For example, perhaps you want to model two or more picket styles so that you can experiment with the options. Say you want to edit only one instance of a component. SketchUp automatically updates the component definition to reflect your edits. Click outside the component’s context and save your work.All component instances change as you draw. In this example, we used the Line, Tape Measure, 2 Point Arc, and Push/Pull tool to change the top of the Picket component. Use the SketchUp drawing tools to edit your component.Or select it, context-click the selection, and choose Edit Component, or simply hit Enter.

In this example, that’s the Picket component.
