Hello guys! I created a dynamic component and rotate it onclick. The problem is - when I do Onclick it copies of itself.
Fo example - If I copy 4 the same pillars by Copy-Paste - here is no problem, If I rotate each by OnClick - I’ll have 4 copies on the component (Component#1, …#2 etc.)

the same sh…t
have you found any solution?
oops, looks I chat with myself
When a DC has a DC child it will always become unique on redraw.
To maintain a DC which is used as such, the children should be normal components, all calculations and reports in the parent

this is a rough fix, the size of parent is not in sync with children
Rather than trying to keep the definition, you could allow the #numbers and report using the instance name,
Need more information on what reports, layout data, you want, are you wanting to use report generator or some other like OCL?
thanks, but seems I do not understand what a child DС is. 
for reports I use OCL.
What changes have you made? I can’t see any difference.
but your version works correct
components or groups can be arranged as a hierarchy, one in another with others by side
The top or level above is the parent, you can use the generic parent! to reference its attributes in a lower level, children and siblings are terms to signify a relation to a parent. The parent! allows the use of swapped DCs or instance name changes.
OCL does not report groups, so can use these as sections to a component, like a top that is fixed and a scalable bottom.
OCL reports visible geometry, so components can be hidden from view and report
OCL can report the “Name” attribute, so this can be used as a data feed to be interpreted by the ruby scripting of the export report
The current Pillers DC is out of sync, needs to be reworked
The extension Eneroth De-DC-ify | SketchUp Extension Warehouse can be used to simplify a DC, the parent value attributes remain as well as position, rotation, and info
Before copying, if you De-DC-ify you can stop the # numbers, uniqueness.
Any DC can be swapped with its saved definition and all the options will be reinstated
You can employ the current formula in a saved DC to swap and update with other DCs with corresponding attributes
Try the De-DC-ify
thank you !
