Defining Length, Width and Thickness

dedmin

I'm trying to define 3 component attributes - Length, Width and Thickness
Length - the biggest of LenX, LenY and LenZ
Width - the middle
Thickness - the smallest value of the LenX, LenY and LenZ
Any ideas? Thanks.

Jim

I think this will work.

Edit - No! it won't work!

Jim

No, that's doesn't always work.

I guess the answer is in IF statements.

I haven't worked with Dynamic components much, and only have the free version, but wouldn't something like this work?
=smallest(largest(LenX,LenY),largest(LenY,LenZ),largest(LenX,LenZ))

Yep, good one.

Here we go:

The problem is that this responses only using SketchUP's scale tool - with FredoScale and FredoStrech the LenX,Y,Z changes but not Length, Width and Thickness And is there a way to order all this attributes? Thanks for the help!

To update the changes - right click - Redraw! To sort the attributes as You like just put the alphabets in front:
