Referencing component instances/copies

[eskimo]

@DanRathbun

So they all dumbly are named “Window” or “Picket”, etc. If you were to manually number them, then it plays havoc on the DC engine, and you get each copy making copies of itself.

so i tried the approach of creating a copy and giving it a different name (or as you put it “manually number them”):

With this different name, i’m able to reference it using the “windowcopynumber” attribute in the parent wall component. However like you said it does causes problems of unwanted copies:

I could i suppose delete the unwanted copies, but it’s not the ideal approach. This issue should definitely be filed under the Feature Requests, as it has been explored before ( which pcmooor has contributed to)

thanks
