Multiple animated groups with one click

phyte · 11 Mar 2018, 18:16

Is it possible to run multiple functions with multiple groups?
For example, I want to create one main group containing 3 objects/groups, each subgroup/object should rotate in different position, but they all should run simultaneously on single main group click.
Is this possible?

try animator by Fredo6

Too complicated for me.

You could learn how to do it if it's something you need to do. Or you could hire someone else to do it for you.

Can this be done only with functions?

What do you mean? What are these "functions" you refer to?

According to your profile, you have SketchUp Make. Dynamic Components might work for what you want but you have to have SketchUp Pro to create them.

I didn't update my profile. I use Pro version but from what I know dynamic components are not necessary for functions and animations. They work also only with groups.

The functions Help page you linked to is for Dynamic Components.

Dynamic Components work with Components. They aren't called Dynamic Groups.

For animations like you are referring to, you don't have to use Dynamic Components. You can use an extension like Animator but either way you'll have to learn how to use whatever you choose. Or you can hire someone to do the work for you.

I mean that the same functions can be used for components and groups.

Dave R · 11 Mar 2018, 22:13

Yes. When making Dynamic Components those functions can be used.

You should get on with doing it. You'd have had it done before now if you'd gotten down to it.

You could upload a model with some commentary on how it should work

I mean that those functions can be used also for pure groups (without components).
Anyway, I want for example:

one click on the object (left) causes rotation of each subgroup (right)
first click on the object causes rotation of the object on one axis, second click causes rotation on the second axis, third click causes scaling
