Anyone dare the challenge?

DC challenge ? I'm here !!
If I have some time to spend on it, I will try next days...

Did you have more info about this kind of window ? I think there is a rail to connect the top end of the window to the fixed frame, but not in your model...

Yes, -you are right Didier, I just did not model it
Attached is an updated version with the track hinge
The window should be correctly placed in the horizontal position now, -but out of place in the two other positions.
See photo
If you look close you can imagine the L-fitting and track marked on this photo.

Updated version

This is an upgraded version of the dynamic H(Housewife) Window.
This window includes the complicated hinge which I am trying to work with the animation.
The window is in right position when closed + horizontal. Problem is to position the different parts of multiple hinge joints to match the open window + make it work with the animation.

Anyone dare the challenge?

H Window with hinge

..Dooh! Just found out I forgot to set the line "Z =Position"

This window opens when clicked on, -but what I am trying to do is that the opening frame also slides down in position while opening like the one on picture(mechanics not present)
Any help appreciated.

You will have better luck working outside-in, or top-down.

Put the onClick animation at the highest logical level, and pass the animation attribute down to any components that need it.

Attributes can only be "seen" by direct parents or children, so if you have more levels of components that need access to the animation attribute, you need to reference the attribute at each level.

` Top-Level Component

• OnClick(animate("anim", 0, 100)
• anim: 0

Child-Component

• anim: =Parent!anim

Child-of-Child-Component

• anim: =Parent!anim`

I was sure I had found out how to make my table model raise and lower with subcomponents placed inside a parent component. I found This example showing multiple animations:

Tried to set up my model same way but it wont work..?

Can anybody help me? I have been trying to solve this for a very long time now..

No working dynamic table

Still need help with this one. Please!!

I have made this table consisting of two main parts which is the basic frame and the tabletop.
How can I make an relation between the upper frame which is dynamic adjustable and the tabletop without putting the tabletop inside the basic frame component?
The tabletop should follow the height adjustment of the frame but still as separated components as they are parts of a assembly with individual part names and Item numbers.
What I am trying is to make a component of the complete table 200 new name/part number consisting the two other components inside.
I also wonder if it is possible to make the crank rotate as the table elevates up/down?

Just discovered the System settings> Open GL > Use hardware acceleration. Suddenly Sketchup looks sharp and smooth to work with. How can I have missed this before?

Has anybody tried the Gyration Air Mouse Elite for presentations with SketchUp?

Here's one way. I had to animate an attribute in the parent component from the child component. Then the attribute can be used by both movements.

(I broke the dialog, but the "Finger" tool works to animate.)

Thank you Jim.

Having problem with this DC trying to make a menu for Height and tilt option.

What I want it to do is that when you click on the side bracket you can adjust height, -and when you click on the footrest plate you can adjust tilt.
Preferably this would also be choices in the menu.

Can anybody help me with this?

I also have a question about editing the image in the component option menu . If I start modelling from blueprints model lying on the ground it will be viewed from lying position even if it was standing on ground when making the option menu..?. (..this is another model I made)
Is there a way to change/update the image?

In your web browser (not SketchUp),

1. Go to Google Dashboard ( where you manage your Google Account)

1. On the right, second from the top, there is a link "edit personal information" click on that
2. The top-most item is "nickname" field. Fill it in with a nickname you want to use.
3. Click "save" at the bottom.
4. Go to the 3D Warehouse and try to sign in. Your nickname should appear there.
5. Go back to SketchUp and log in to your Google Account from there (third button from the left at the bottom).

I have problems uploading models to the 3D warehouse. When logging in to the Google account within SketchUp and click on "Allow access", - a SketchUp window pops up saying;

"Sign-in error. Before using this 3D Warehouse service, you must choose an account nickname."

As far as I know I already have a nickname in my g mail account.. or where/how do I find this?

Please help!

I made a DC perforated metal panel were I want to switch between material choices/colors. Problem is that i want the texture map (stacking Png w/alpha)to be fixed so the holes are placed right without making bigger unique textures. I tried to adjust the UV´s before making the DC but it still does not map right.
Is this possible.

Don´t bother, -found out. The layer was locked in the layer menu toolbox.

Some templates have text and place for logo. How can I edit this text or erase it to make new text, place logo without standard text showing?

Thank you again DD. It works fine now
I learned a lot from this. I am testing to make a menu system. I guess there will be problems if I wanted to implement another choice of depth of shelves and endwalls(Stige) into this model due to the holes..?

Here a solution (not THE only solution ).
The end must be an unique element positioned at (Copies+1)ModuleXLength.
The cross must be outside of the module and the number of copies must be the half of the Module copies and positioned at 2copy*ModuleXLength. You can also let the cross in the module and define the visibility on odd number of module copy.

Thank you DD
Looks fine except I want the right end on row to be rotated 180 degrees with end cap on top. The cross seems out of dimension and when I try to modify to original strange things happen...??
Tried to copy your solution without sucsess. Must have missed something.

Hello,
I am a rookie when it comes to dynamic Components. Attached is a model of an archive system which copies when scaled. My problem is how to make an end to the archive which doesn´t copy in between the two ends. I also have a problem with the back cross which I would like to copy only every second copy. Another problem is I cannot scale to make 3 copies, only 4 and more.
Can anybody help me/show me how to do it?
