I gave up too quick. Found the solution

Hallo,

In attached drawing I have created a ship's crane.
Basically the crane consist of 3 main components , each inside eachother.

Component 1 - Crane Complete. This entire component consists comp. 2 and 3 and is able to rotate all over the Zaxis.

Component 2 - Boom. This component is inside comp.1 and is able to rotate over the Yaxis together with component 3.

Component 3 - Hook. This component is inside comp.2 and is able to move up/down by Zaxis.

Comp 2 and 3 are linked to each other is such a way that the Block(comp 3) always stays under the end of the Boom(comp 2).

So far so good after quiet some brainwaves.

If I click in component 1, I can only use its own dynamic options. (The options of comp 2 and 3 are not visible).
The reach component 2 dynamic options, I have to go deeper inside comp. 1 to reach comp. 2 and same for comp 3 to go even 1 step deeper.

I would like to see all dynamic options in 1 window at first click on component 1.
Can't figure out how without messing up movements.

Very important is that when rotating comp1 , comp.2 and 3 move along.

Yeah Box thank you.
I found this out later also. Good tip.
I will for sure also try pbacot's idea to get Make 2016.

Hi

I am using Sketchup 2013 version only.
When downloading models from the warehouse, most models are made by newer versions and do not work on mine.
Is there a seperate warehouse for older models, or settings in warehouse?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

is there any way to turn the animated play into slideshow for the windows 7 background?
Now I save each scene as a seperate 2d picture, but with rotating objest it's nicer to have the scene animation displayed on the desktop.

Hi,

I have deleted the imported object from my model and the nest has disappeared aswell.
Must have been something to do with that. Anyway thanks for your interrest Unearthed.

Hi,

In my model I found an empty nested object. When using the orbit to rotate the model, certain items are showing as nested object to re-appear normal after releasing the orbit.
There is also 1 unidentified nested object outside of my working space. I can not select anything in theis area, so I can also not select the nested item.
The nest appeared after I have cut out an imported component. The box of the component was way bigger then the itmen holding it, so I just cut the itme loose from the component and paste it back outside of its own component. Left me with this mysterious nest whithout any contents.
I can not select it or whatsoever. Showing hidden geometry does not show anything.
Anybody has an idea how to get rid of this junkbox?

Hi all,

I am creating a terrain using sandbox from scratch. However when I first draw the area, the raster I get is very big compared to what I need to draw. Each "tile" is 3.00m x 3.00m.
I need a much finer raster to start with. Can I change these settings somewhere , to change it to 0.5m x 0.5m?

Hi Andrash,

Here are 3 different ways of looking into your wardrobe.
Option 2 and 3 are using Dynamic Components, and thus you need a Pro version for that.

1. Make the walls transparent like Cotty says. Even on double walls this work, as long as you add the transparent material on both walls. The inside material can stay original solid, this does not affect the visibility from outside.

2. Use of Dynamic component in a drop down menu. select the Component Options and click on the back wall. A dropdown menu pops up with the choice of wall material (This case glass or solid).

3. Use Dynamic components OnClick behaviour. just select your interaction hand tool and click on the wall. This toggles between solid and glass material.

Hope it's usefull for you.

Thats good enough, thank you

Hi all,

I have another small question referring OnClick behaviour.
Attached a Panel which moves over Y and Rotates around X due to a click.
Now these actions are going simultaniously, I need the rotation to start after the move has been completed.
Is there a delay that I can build in between these 2 actions?

Thanks

Hello,

I have been doing this myself aswell in creating ship stowageplans, but it also works for your issue I guess.

In the attached file a small room 2 x 1 x 2.7
You have to turn on the component options. There you will get a dropdown menu which lets you toggle between a glass wall and a grey wall.

Hope it solves your issue.

Hello,

I might be a year or so late, but just was browsing around in posts, and ended up at your post.
In case you are still interrested in different ways to draw a hull, I attached my way of drawing. It is certainly not the best way, but it's A way.

Using the original linesplan of a ship. Each line at different levels have a x,y coordinate, which put together gives the lines of the hull. All these lines stacked on top of each other give then the complete linesplan, which you can then close on the outside to create your hull.
Basically the system works as how Delfship uses their program, but there I always turned up to set the coordinates wrong, which resulted in very strange shapes suddenly.

Hope this helps, enjoy

Thank you PCMOOR

Ok Box, I didn't know that. Checked my IE version and thats 7. Pretty old huh. I will get is updated next week (Not possible now). See if this makes a difference. Thanks in advance.

Using Chome on the vista(Not working warehouse) PC, and IE on XP PC. However, before with the old warehouse all was fine for Chrome aswell.

Searching google for models will give me a match and direct me in some cases to the old style warehouse. But thats not how it should work.

Thanks TIG, have compared those and they are quiet similar (altho XP vs Vista). No success

Hi all,

Ever since the 3d warehouse has been renewed I can not get any models from it.
Whatever search criterea I use, it always shows up with the message "No models found."
Even a simple search as "boat" should give me hundreds of hits, but nothing there.
On another PC I do get results. Can there be something wrong of some kinda settings??
The only settings I can find is Search models , Seach Collection and advanced search.

Anybody?

Hello,

I have a question to which I don't seem to have the answer, but I don't think is too difficult. Just can't figure it out.

In attached example a block with in the Components Options the ability to change settings of Length , width and height. Dimensions will change accordingly.

Also a text is added. This text I would like to be able to alter into the Component Options.
Example: this block is called Block1. In the options I should have the option to add a name, and this name shows on the position where the text is now.

Anybody can help with that?
