well.. that's embarrassing...

actually the "problem" is that i had overloaded "onElementAdded" method.. and put:

@service.recent_inherit! entity

now i send a new attribute, then it becomes:

if entity.definition.get_attribute 'dynamic_attributes', 'imported_entity' @service.recent_inherit! entity end

sorry about that and thanks for your time.

cheers.

PS: don't know if i'm using the correct terms for elements like: model, entity, modules, etc. Sorry about that.

Yes you are misusing the term module.

In your examples, "loaded_module" is a "loaded_component_definition".

module is a ruby keyword, and a block of code that forms a namespace.

Thanks, I'll be careful next time. 😄

I'm confusing about module because we use the same term to determine the "master entity" of our projects to our clients.

The origin of the active_model is [0,0,0], which is referenced as ORIGIN.

If the model came from Google Earth, then the real world co-ordinates (in inches) will be in the GeoReference attribute dictionary.
