Stragegy for movable building parts

Anonymous
Not applicable
I was wondering if there are any thoughts out there on how to manage movable elements in a building model. I'm working on a project with a series of adjustable louver panels. The panels pivot from a hinge to provide shading. I'm trying to find a way have "open" and "closed" versions of these parts so I can generate sections and elevations that show the different conditions. The best I've been able to do so far is simply copy everything into a new layer, but obviously this doesn't update when I make changes to the original objects. Hope this makes sense....

I've attached some views of sketchup model to get the general idea...

Thanks
