My favorite feature of SU Pro. Please schedule an advanced "build along" session of dynamic components at Base Camp 2020. Some detailed kitchen cabinets or woodworking project would be great. The Skill Builder format is a keeper!

Aaron!! It seems your followers' skills are above average. They are so excited about this vid & they look craving for some advance level ones.

I've never used dynamic components up until now as this is my first version of SU Pro. Since I'm used to parametric modelling in other 3D CAD, I'll be interested to see how far dynamic components can be taken.

Very helpful, look forward to part 2

Excellent Aaron, thank you.

Aaron you are AWESOME. I can’t say how great it feels putting a suggestion out there and having it responded to with a series like this. Great introduction, very much looking forward to diving in deeper!! I’ve been stuck trying to create an “animated, scale-able, nested dynamic component” for weeks and this content will hopefully unblock this road block! Thanks to you and your team for focusing on this aspect of the software. I’m definitely down a rabbit hole here but it looks like you guys are here to help! 💪🇺🇸

Once again, great job ! Thanks

This is a good start to introduce to Dynamic Components capabilities in Sketchup!

Thank you so much....! Being a Interior designer this probably will make me save a ton of my time while creating modular furniture.

Hi Aaron, each time the nice jingle sounds there is a hidden gem that comes up (for me). I didn't expect dynamic components to be so smart. Quite curious about what part 2 and the following will reveal. Hope you don't get tired teaching us! Thank you! Wolfgang

This is so cool! I love the idea you can use formulas! Man, this solves so many of my problems! 👍

Good vid, Aaron. Looking forward to more, I need to learn dynamic components!

I LOVE TEACHER !!

This is super helpful! I'm going to make a whole lot of useful tools for my architecture business

Great Start, Have Tried and succeeded at Dynamic Components but this should help set some basics down. Was a little hard learning it the self teaching route. Thanks Aaron.

Yes please!! Most interested in cabinets and built in furniture.

Thanks a lot Aaron. Been waiting for this video. After this series can you do one on parametric design?

Thanks!! Always wanted to learn how to use dynamic components :-)

First time user and new to drawing woodworking projects so I am interested in learning ALL I can about sketchup.

Thank you, it is very useful series of video.

Thanks, I really have to start learning more about this software. It's much more powerful than what I use it for. I'm looking forward to next week already :)

Thanks. Dynamic components feature (Parametized drawing) in Fusion 360 as their main selling point because they are so useful, so I’m glad you started this tutorial series. There is a free DC plugin that gives users the ability of creating binary models such as doors that are either open or closed. For me the ultimate DC model would be a marionette which can be made to take any stance - running, walking, jumping, pointing etc - by just touching trigger points on its surface.

I love Dynamic component. Your tutorial is awesome. Now I would like to color apply in different color in diffrent faces in cube is it possible ? I really want to do .

That is pure gold, baby...

Thanks Aaron. One issue I had was the millimeter units were not available (only cm and inches). I input =Size/10 as a workaround. Is there not another way?

Nicely explained and demonstrated (KISS)

Thanks Aaron, this is already great introduction to dynamic components and the way you explain makes it even better digestible. I’m happy I was bugging you with this, haha!

Thank you so much!!!! You are awesome

How can a simple software offer so much? I never knew this exists!!! Very interesting. Thanks

great lesson!

When dynamic components first came out, I thought they would change Sketchup FOREVER, but they didn't. The problem is that more than often changing a parameter creates a new unique component and that just defeats the purpose of a dynamic component in the first place ;( I still use them, but mostly just because they're fun. If Sketchup could make them like Autocad's dynamic blocks, then I would use them a lot more in my workflow. BUT STILL ... coincidentally, just 2 days ago, I made a video about a dynamic WINDOW component, so if you want to check it out, go see my latest video. I also left a download link for the component in the description.

I now have a pavlovian response that I'm about to learn something when I hear the intro music.

Good thing I have a background in object oriented programming. Very interesting.

Tnaks you, this is very helpful

I have never used them and the concept is cool. You should try and incorporate this into the live modeling sessions so we can see how they work in the modeling flow. Im not sure where i would use this feature.. i dont know enough yet to make that judgment call:)

Hello, do you offer courses where you go more into depth regarding dynamic components?

Muy bueno!

Thank you, Sir

Can we change the dimensions of cylinder ,Like you have changed the dimensions of cube with dynamic options plz reply

Waiting for Part 2

4:40 I'm just starting out on this and I did everything you said, and it won't change materials. I can get the size to change, but not the material. I want "Wood Lumber ButtJoined" and "0128_White" . I even tried using the hash #FFFFFF for white. WhattamIdoingwrong?

Thanks a lot

is there an actual list of attribute commands available.

For some reason my Component option window does not show any information. Any idea why ?

.I want to download the component model for furniture, where to download .. I am Vietnamese .. I need help

Let’s make a dynamic window!

thenkiu

i am stuggling because i use metric and i am trying to save the size in metric but it doesnt work, please help me

Good. Im learning. Cant find anything on sketchup that helps.

is this only a feature in the pro versions of sketchup?

"No Components Selected" in Components Options Window. Please, I need some help. Thanks a lot.

I only get the components options no attributes?

Gracias, siempre he creído que los componentes dinámicos es lo que va a hacer de Sketchup el mejor software BIM pero casi nadie sabe como programarlos. Nuevamente gracias y sigue adelante

Approaching to Apply button was... epochal. It had to be carefully commented. Yes

You made the video to make this wine umbrella.

I really enjoy your "skill builders" and your technique in presenting them, however, It would be helpful for users that do not have "SU Pro" if you would let us know a head of time that particular skill builders only work with "SU Pro" so we are not wasting our time. Thank You.

I was just going to browse KZfaq a little and now I'm stuck with homework :(

THIS ISNT POSIBLE ON FREE SKETCHUP ISNT IT¿?

hi how to find dynamic component in sketchup2022

Part 2?

Hello how are you. I want to ask you if it is possible to make an isolated footing with a pyramidal shape, but that is a dynamic component, that is, parametric. I thank you very much if you respond to me, I know my message may go unnoticed.

Only works on pro...

This is the second video for introduction to dynamic components by two different people and both choose to apply colour as material. I would have thought that blue is colour for example and wood is material. Is there not a heading called colour and a separate one called material because as a cabinet maker material is never colour. That’s just misleading. Maybe I need to watch more in this series.

Funfact: You only have the Attributes in the Pro Version. Great...
