      I downloaded the attached DC from 3D Warehouse. The description on the component stated it is editable for width, but when I try to edit the width (or anything), SU says there are no options to choose from on this component. Since I am a newbie regarding DCs, can someone please double check if this component has any options? I cannot tell from the component attribute box whether this is a working DC.

      Thanks in advance.

        Try importing the .skp rather then opening it.

          When I try to import model, I get the following error

          Cannot create a recursively defined model or component!

          I imported a cabinet component from "Kraftmaid" and it did work. Now wondering if Tall Open Component is buggy.

          Did you get this particular component to work?

            I downloaded the component and imported it no problem.

              Thanks Jim,

              I closed SU and re-opened. Imported file and it worked fine.

                Just for future reference, this error sounds like you tried to import the component into itself.
                In the same way you can't paste a component into itself.

                As in:
                create a box and make it a component.
                Select the component and copy it.
                Open the component to edit and Paste in place.
                You should get the same error.

                  Hi Box,

                  Here is what I did. I downloaded file and opened it. I had trouble as I first posted with the component having no component options. I received a comment that I should import it, not open it.

                  So when I tried that, I deleted the component from the screen and imported the file. Yes indeed, I imported the component into itself. Arrgghhh!!!!!

                  So, I am now understanding that DCs must be imported in order for component options to be activated. Is that correct?

                  and thanks for the heads up regarding not pasting a component into itself. 😳
