Jim Foltz posted a link above to another thread on this issue where one of the Trimble employees acknowledged the error and cause.

The cause is not specifically "\u", it is any of the normal escape sequences that Ruby (and many other programming languages) use in double-quoted strings.

There is not an actual Dynamic Components issue tracker (although I’ve politicked for one for years.)
I started an informal thread to post errors here in the Ruby API forum, but apparently the Trimble employees pay it no heed. I did post a notice to this issue in that thread, viz …

I am having the same trouble with my SketchUp Pro 2021 application DYNAMIC COMPONENT, it isn’t working. I know now, reading your letters, that the problem has a lot of years.

I found a short cut for this function error Dynamic Components. I past a copy of my specific work in a previously Sketchup open new page; I make all changes (basically “open-close-slice” doors, windows) in my work, copy additions and past at my original page. I do not save or close the Sketchup meanwhile I am working on.

I find it easier to avoid lowercase “u” at the beginning of file or folder names.

It seems to me that anything with a U in the file path, an upper or lower u should be avoided.

When I save Sketchup files to: C: \ Users \ x \ Documents \ Sketchup I get the problem. There is no lower u in the file path.

Since I save under C: \ sketchup, the problem has disappeared.

THIS IS STILL HAPPENING IN 2025, NEARLY A DECADE AFTER THE ORIGINAL BUG REPORT. What the hell trimble.
