But I think there are a lot of people that are using SketchUp for designing buildings? So when you make a good door or window component, that you can use in every opening, it is not very useful. When you have 5 doors with different dimensions, and you want to make a change in your component, you have to make this change in all the 5 components? The advantage of components is that you can work faster and you don't have to make to much adjustments.

In every case, the DC's are still useful, but I think it could be more useful if 1 DC could have different "shapes" in the same model.

I have created a dynamic component of a door. I can fill in the height, width and thickness of the wall. On this way the door fits always in the hole I have created in the wall.

I added the first door and edited the attributes to make the door fit. Now I want to add the second door. First I add the door in my painting. Next I am going to change the component attributes. When I change the attributes Sketchup is making this new door an unique component by adding #1 to the name. I don't like this change because when I want to change something to this component later, I have to do this change in every component (door, door#1, door#2,...). On this way the advantage of a component is gone...

So, I hope someone understands my problem and can help me with it.

Thanks
