      I am creating components of doors. Before I go too far I need some advice about how to name components within the main component. I was hoping to name each of the nested components 'Closed Door', 'Open Door' 'Door Frame' and '2D Door'. I was hoping to do this for each main component. Will this naming system cause problems further down the line?

        I would suggest perhaps a hierarchy such as: noun: adjective1: adjective2, and so on. Noun is door, adjective could be '2d', or 'red' or something like that, or maybe a numerical sequence, which is what the program does with component instances. Just some ideas.
        EDIT:
        Ahh, well my reply was rather elementary, but you could develop quite an elaborate classification system. Door Leaf(s), Door frame(s)

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.
