Problem of creating and inserting dynamic components
-
It is well known that if I insert or import a sketchup model indirectly instead of opening it directly with sketchup, it will be automaticaly made a component.
So the problem is, if I creat a dynamic component and save it as sketchup model, I have to explode it when I insert it from component panel. Because sketchup made a new component of it "outside" the saved dynamic component.
If I explode the original dynamic component and save it as sketchup model, all the dynamic informations will be lost.
I also downloaded some dynamic components and insert them into the model, they are perfectly dynamic and there is no need to explode. If I open them directly with sketchup, there are just sub components or groups of the expected dynamic component. I don't know how the authors have made them.
So it must be a way to save the loose sub components of a dynamic compoents as a sketchup model and define it as dynamic component, without losing the dynamic information of it. I can't figure out how to do this. Maybe anyone could tell me that?

Right click your dynamic component, and select "Save as", it'll save like a sketchup model, but when you import, it'll be dynamic. Likewise, if you try to open that file like a regular model, it'll be in pieces and not a component. But you probably only plan to ever import your components anyways.
