Dynamic Components Attributes

FlorianCH · 21 Jul 2011, 16:38

Hello Guys

How do I combine different attributes from different components together, so that I have only to do 'one click' and then all attributes from all components will be executed together?
Thank you a lot for your answers.

Hi Florian,

I am a complete idiot when it comes to dynamic components that are a bit more sophisticated than just a single attribute but we have a specialized subforum for them under the main SU forum so let me move your topic there for better attention...

Hi Could you give me please the new link from my post? Thanks a lot.

You are already in your post. When we move a topic, we usually leave the "shadow topic" in the original forum. This is marked with a small arrow in its icon. Then it's actually a link to the moved topic.

(Another note: Use the "Reply" button at the bottom left to reply and not the "Report" button as reports can only be seen by moderators. I have now copied your report into a post above)

DC attributes cannot be transferred between different components, so the thing to do is to put them as subcomponents within a "parent" component. Then you can make the attributes in the "child" ones react to attribute changes in the parent. If I remember right, this works through 2 levels of nesting.

http://youtu.be/-nzDHYvxQGw links to a youtube video demonstrating a plugin that changes common DC attributes across multiple DC components at one time, it's about 3 minutes into the video. This plugin was my solution to the attribute levels, and was created to help kitchen Designers to change door styles and/or toekick heights over multiple DC cabinets at one time, maybe this will help?

@Anssi
Thank you for your solution. That was exactly the point I have searched for. It works great but do you (or someone other) know how I could make, that the components don't move at the same time? I mean for example at a door, that the handle first goes down and the door went open after that.

@sketchdata
Thank you for your effort. But I don't think that this video could help me. In my sketch I haven't the same attributes in my components.

Hello,

This post may help with consecutive animations.

And there isn't an easier way
