      I'm working on a mock-up of my new home, and couldn't find a door style that suited my needs. As a software developer, I loved the idea of making some dynamic components of my own to nail down the style of door we're hoping to install.

      Unfortunately, my door is falling a little bit short. I managed to get everything working perfectly in terms of cutting both faces, and a dynamic door swinging action. However, once I start using the door more than once, I'm noticing some terrible "bugs" in my design.

      Primarily, the problem is that I can set the width/height of one instance, but a "unique" copy of that instance will not completely "unique-ify" the copy. That is, the door sitting inside the frame wants to remain a constant width. Changes to the first instance will happily reflect in the door of the 2nd instance. Strange, right?

      Attached is a document that contains 2 instances of my component. The 2nd is a unique copy, with the "Opening Width" component option differing from the first door. I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me where I'm going wrong here.
