Simple question

[Jorgensen]

Would it bee easy to covert an existing component to DC ?

I have a café table, and would like the option to select if the table is emtpy or if it contains plates

It would be a nice way to fill a café

Thanks

Hi Bo,

Actually it should be easy - I mean no "harder" than from scratch since you should start with "simple" components anyway and add attributes to them during the "turning" (to DC) process.

I think a hide/unhide command (if that is posible with DC's) could do this trick.

That would be very easy to do. You'd add a custom attribute to your Table component, say "Empty", and allwo the user to choose between Yes or No. Then you link the Hidden attribute of your component containing the plates to the "Empty" attribute.

Attached is a basic file made up from items from the warehouse.
If you use interact tool you can switch between and empty and full table

To see how it works, go to Component Attributes and switch on formula view- notice how the custom variable 'empty' is referenced in the 'items' attributes i.e. table!empty

Essentially it is as thomthom has described

table.skp
