      This is a bit off topic, but for all of you out there making a lot of doors for a design, you might be interested in this dynamic component I made for making doors...

        Eric, that's an interesting Dynamic door you've made. Out of curiosity, do you have a way to make it hinge on the right instead of the left?

          Yes, just scale it to a negative value, that way you can have the pull on the top, or change the hinging.

            I tried Flipping the door along the green axis but then, when I resized it, the door flipped back to its original configuration.

              Are you downloading it from the 3D warehouse within Sketchup?

              If you download it from a normal web browser, you cannot just open DC's in Sketchup, you have to import them. If you don't do that, it won't open as a proper DC, and you will see that sort of behavior.

              So either download it from your web browser, and then to fo "File" and "Import" in Sketchup, or, ideally, find it on the 3D warehouse within Sketchup, and bring it in from there. That way it will work properly, and you will be able to access all of its configuration options from the dialog box.

                I was downloading it directly from the Warehouse. I'd forgotten until you mentioned it that Dynamic Components aren't totally functional if downloaded via the internet browser.

                To be honest, I haven't found Dynamic Components to be all that useful for the sorts of woodworking related models I make so I rarely ever use make or use them.

                  Its interesting that you are having that error, it works fine on my end... (On multiple computers)

                  If you wouldn't mind, could you walk me through how you got the error?

                  You said that you were trying to flip the door to get it to hinge the other way....

                    Eric, when I downloaded it via IE, it would allow me to resize and change the panel and so on. Then I flipped it along the green axis to hinge the door on the right instead of the left. when I tried resizing in either direction, the component flipped around tto put the hinge on the left again. This didin't happen when I searched in the components Browser. Then everything seemed to work fine. Curiously, I also got some additional adjustment options, too.

                      Yes, downloading it through IE, or another browser with out importing it would have caused those issues. It is meant to be used from Sketchup's component browser, or just imported.
