When asking for help and using an image with text, it is advisable to translate the text with the error.
Is the translation provided by AI, through OCR, correct?

Hi Sorry about that I am new here I will keep in my mind Thank you for that

I don’t understand, this is not a dynamic component, but the error is from the Dynamic Components extension. Are you using dynamic components anywhere in the model?

@rwamoore :
The OP is trying to make it a dynamic component but can’t. Hope that helps..

Sometimes when building or editing a Dynamic Component stuff can get weird, I usually ignore the problem and hope it goes away, it usually does. I know that doesn’t really help, what happens if you just hit OK and keep editing? What attribute were you trying to add when you get the error? Can you show a video of the steps to make the error appear?

What I want to do is place a hinge on a door of a box and be able to place it on the door at any distance I want. I downloaded the above hinge from 3dwarehouse and tried to make component so that I can manage it but when I go to the attributes I get this error. Is there any other solution? Regards Kostas

Hey, without being able to recreate the error, I can’t help. I can add attributes to the hinge and it seems OK. Is it inside another component? It is very hard to help without more info. Maybe this is along the lines of what you are trying to do?

I would caution you about using models from the warehouse with so much detail, they can really bloat your model file size quickly, and make SketchUp run slowly.

EDIT: I did have this error pop up twice just now, I ignored it (clicked ok), and everything seems ok.

If you ignore the error does it keep showing up? It only shows once for me and then disappears…

EDIT: The DC extension is old and does have some bugs, there has never been a patch so you will have to work around them. Here is a list of some known problems: DC Gotcha’s
