      Situation:

      I create a brick and make it a component. I stack those bricks into a wall and make that a component. I arrange those walls into a house and make that a component.

      When I add that house to a new scene, all those pieces are named as expected.

      When I want to add an individual wall component into the house scene, the brick components inside of the wall component have #number tacked onto the end of the name.

      For example,

      1 "Brick_red"
      10 "Brick_red" = 1 "Brick_wall"
      30 "Brick_wall" = 1 "Brick_house"

      "Brick_house" (and all of it's sub-components) are added to the scene exactly as named.

      When I add an extra "Brick_wall" to the scene, now all sub-components in the wall are called "Brick_red#1"

      I can go into the Outliner, expand the components, look through all components for "Brick_red#1", manually select all "Brick_red#1" items, and then reload "Brick_red" from the component browser to force those "Brick_red#1" back to "Brick_red".

      Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Or is there was to automatically forces these back to just "Brick_red"? With 1000 of pieces in a scene, this is something that'll be come mind-numbing to correct manually.

      Mind-numbed,
      alz

        I could not reproduce this. How are you adding your brick wall? Is it an external SU file, or still "in model"?

          Did you use Make Unique somewhere along the line? That would do it.

            Hmmm crud. I tried to repro it from a blank slate: build brick, componentize brick, make wall, fill with component bricks, make house, fill with component walls. Add house component, then add wall to same scene. Bricks in the Wall do not show up as Brick_red#1, as expected.

            I need to back track and see how the current versions are different than this repro step.

            (Thanks for the replies!)
