Hi,  
I am having this problem… The component attributes is missing from my menu. It was there 2 days a go and when I tried to use it yesterday it was gone.

Dynamic components is ticked on in my preferences and I have tried re-starting the programme many times with no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this has disappeared?

Thanks.

To make Dynamic Components you need Sketchup Pro, you are using Make, maybe your one month trial period is finished?
