  2. Click on the Move icon and move the new pallet up using the green arrow.
  3. Click on the Rotate icon and click on the Pivot button so that it changes to Center.
  4. Use the green part of the sphere outline to rotate the copy of the pallet.

What just happened?

As you can see, Unity has its own Move, Copy, and Rotate functions different to those you used in SketchUp, but they do the same thing. It's worth spending some time using these features of Unity so that you get used to them. It will save you having to re-export from SketchUp each time you make a change.
