Re: "Components" in SketchUp

Dave and Tim
First thank you for all of the amazing material here.
I use a CNC system to design and cut 2 1/2 d carvings. My CAD software can export the 3d carvings only as STL files. I can convert them to DXF and import them into my trial copy of Sketchup Pro. My question is will I be able to close the back of them and then use them as components. My goal is to be able to use the library of these CAD files to design pieces in Sketchup. Seeing how the will integrate into a design and being able to show a client will be invaluable. My CAD program can just show one board or panel at a time so it can be very hard to visualize the whole project. This idea of components that can be combined makes the whole thing work, if I can close these "backless" files.
Thanks
