Before start:
- You need to use Sketchup Pro, Sketchup Free without Dynamic Components Feature.
- You need basic skills in Sketchup to model ordinary wooden wall shelves.
- Make wood materials available (optional)
Lesson objectives:
- How to create a complete Dynamic Component in Sketchup.
- Create a Dynamic Component wooden shelf object with size binding.
- Learn the Size attribute (dimensions) (LenX, LenY, LenZ)
- Learn the attribute Position (LenX, LenY, LenZ)
- Learning the Scale Tool property reduces the number of anchor points of the Scale command.
- Set the ability to edit (User can Edit), as shown in the Dynamic Component Option.
Notes:
- You pay attention to the position of the coordinate axis of each component because this is the basis for calculating the size and position.
- Change Axes to change or review the position of the coordinate axes
- Should set the Size property first then Position Attribute is easier.
- Instance Component objects always have the same Size (LenX, LenY, LenZ) properties, and Position (X, Y, Z) properties may be different.
- Position (X, Y, Z) is equal to 0 or equal to the maximum dimension of the parent Component, no need to set time-consuming parameters
- Scale Tool Attribute to reduce the Resize points
- Check out the complete feature of Dynamic Component with the Scale Tool and the Component Option panel
