Course Description

Overview

Learn how to use and create dynamic components in SketchUp Pro: from fences that automatically add pickets as you scale to cabinets with animated drawers.

Syllabus

Introduction
  • Work with dynamic components in SketchUp Pro
  • Exercise files
  • What you should know
  • Re-install the Dynamic Components extension
  • Course viewing strategy
1. Utilize Existing Dynamic Components
  • Access dynamic components
  • Interact with dynamic components
  • Scale dynamic components
  • Understand the methods of configuring dynamic components
2. Work with Dynamic Components Locally
  • Potential problem with imported working models
  • Save and update dynamic component definitions locally
  • Access local dynamic component libraries
3. Work with Dynamic Components in the Cloud
  • Upload a dynamic component to the 3D Warehouse
  • Add models and collections to your account
4. Fence Component That Adds Pickets as You Scale
  • Create parts of a fence post as components
  • Create the top and bottom rails and the picket component
  • Define the overall component container
  • Add attributes and formulas to the post and its cap
  • Continue adding formulas to the top and bottom rails
  • Add formulas to the picket
  • Define the copy behavior for the pickets
  • Build the user interface
5. Bookcase with Configurable Size, Shelving, and Materials
  • Add position and size attributes
  • Add a user interface for custom shelf attributes
  • Implement logic to copy shelves
  • Create and nest a swatch component
  • Cycle materials by clicking on a component
  • Correct texture coordinates in components
6. Base Cabinet with Animated Drawer and Door
  • Nest component parts
  • Animate the drawer sliding and door rotation
  • Implement the Hidden and OnClick behaviors
7. Cabinet with Multiple Preconfigured Sizes
  • Duplicate and make unique components
  • Nest various models in one component
  • Control model visibility with a formula
  • Implement pricing for each model
  • Debug errors
  • Disable scale and add descriptions
8. Furniture with Projected Textures and Hideable Parts
  • Texture mapping a face with a projected texture
  • Add more projected texture coordinates
  • Remove the material used for texture mapping
  • Implement material swapping and dealing with swatches
9. Component with Dynamically Scaled Materials
  • Understand how materials typically stretch
  • Create materials for each intended size
  • Design the user interface
  • Add formulas to control the number of panels and size
  • Concatenate a material name with length to swap materials
  • Add descriptions and save the project
