A component file is created is created via the right click menu "saveas"
If you open this file you see its contents not the parent, so saving leaves a parent with the groups as per your file,
You need to import the file as done and explode then via right click "saveas" to overwrite or drag and drop. then the parent data is destroyed
It was okay until I sat on it! the joints were quite good, but not for 80kg

No, we are trying to get MSPhysics updated but it won't be for a bit yet.
32 bits ?
but glad something is happening
Open Cut List is a free one
What are you reporting? parts? hardware? whole building? cupboards?
deleted one door
used series of steps and conditions as trigger points
wrapped the door in another component to preserve the axis, then copy, move, flip
Match the X-axis to the grain (default), making one board with OCL attributes as well as DCs
This simple board has a scaler so as to make unique on change, moreover it redefine the material scale (this can be used as a swatch and alternative code sorter)
Saveas this to start the collection, building from the basic within the same file, if you build them separately it can lead to cross contamination.
One creates a carcass by rotating, position and rename the boards(although they should automatically become unique, check that they are )
I include a board example and carcass
the board has one edge, typical of a basic part, from this one can use groups to create more complex boards (use solids, so can make whole when required)
the example is set to definition, change it to none so as use the instance names, the generic parent! is used or latter swapped to, for DC reuse and any name changes
Initially I use the instance method to define the members then switch to the Name attribute later using the dropdown option.
The OCL is set to show DC Names
This normal file shows two separate components that reference each other, so the onclick triggers the action in the door which in turn is read by the switch.
its likely you have tagged the raw geometry, but loading the file will help to resolve
