Dynamic SketchUp Modeling & Plugin Programming Service

3dshouse provides a custom dynamic component programming service — Dynamic Sketchup model programming service for you who need to make your own Dynamic Sketchup model in accordance with your design standards. 3dshouse already operates the world’s largest Dynamic Sketchup library, and is a pioneer in Dynamic Sketchup modeling. In case the 3dshouse dynamic library does not match your company’s design standards, 3dshouse provides a separate programming service for Dynamic models in accordance with your company’s structure and standards.

Our Custom Dynamic SketchUp Plugin & Modeling Service: What You Receive

After receiving the request and rendering the dynamic models, 3dshouse, the finished product is sketchup files with dynamic parameter customization.

There are 3 ways for your company to use the model:

• Upload the model to 3dshouse so that your company can use the model at the same time as other 3dshouse models.
• Create your own sketchup plugin for your company.

3dshouse does not send sketchup files to your company for technical reasons, good programming models need to use more Ruby programming code, need to run with 3dshouse plugin or a plugin specifically for your company. At the same time, the online storage model so that 3dshouse can edit and upgrade continuously for your company without having to send it back and forth too many times.

Note: Dynamic Components are a SketchUp Pro-tier feature only — they are not available in the free SketchUp web plan. As of 2020, SketchUp no longer offers perpetual (Classic) licenses; all new subscriptions are named-user annual plans. The current release is SketchUp 2026.

A known limitation of the Ruby API: setting attribute values on a Dynamic Component programmatically does not automatically trigger a redraw. Recalculation requires calling into SketchUp’s internal DC observer objects — a behavior that is not part of the standard documented API. This is why custom plugins built by 3dshouse include their own redraw-trigger logic, rather than relying on the built-in DC interaction dialog alone.
