This is what I have learned:
* Use grouping instead of components. If you edit a component, other copies of a component will change, too. So, if you wish to draw pusbuttons in different colors, groups are the way to go.
* Follow me tool does not work well with tiny arcs. For example, if you wish to create a realistically looking pushbutton (with round edges), follow me tool will leave holes in the surface. There is a workaround, however: create the object 10 times larger, and then shrink it.
* The free version of Maxwell Render for SketchUp installs as a plugin, does a good job at creating renders and is not overly complicated. I think the 800 pixel edge limit is more than enough for render picture posting in this forum.http://www.maxwellrender.com/index.php/try/sketchup

Don't forget that you can make a component unique: right click > make unique. Now you have two separate but identical components :)
