I mis-spoke in my original posting. After playing around for a while, I found that the "option" that I chose and the option that was automatically reverted to had the same values. It turns out that each option must have a unique value - otherwise the option chosen by the user may not show up correctly. Other than changing each value to a unique number (which I have done for the meanwhile) does anyone know how to have the same value for multiple options?

Hi All -

I'm adding various attributes to my dynamic components and am having trouble getting the "Select From List" to work properly. When I select certain options (but not all options), then hit apply, the selection automatically reverts to a different selection. For example, when I select "Electrical - Other" (see below for list of options and values), and then hits apply, the selection automatically changes to "Civil - Asphalt".

The algorithm that references these values them becomes incorrect. Does anyone know what is going on and/or have suggestions on how to rectify?

Below is my particular list of options and corresponding values:

Electrical - VFD / 15
Electrical - Other / 20
Electrical - Controls / 25
Electrical - Motor / 30

Mechanical - Other (15) / 15
Mechanical - Other (20) / 20
Mechanical - Other (25) / 25
Mechanical - Pumps / 30
Mechanical - Valves / 30

Civil - Asphalt / 20
Civil - Steel (Corrosive) / 30
Civil - Other (Corrosive) / 35
Civil - Concrete (Corrosive) / 50
Civil - Pressurized Pipes (Corrosive) / 50
Civil - Steel / 60
Civil - Pressurized Pipes / 60
Civil - Other / 75
Civil - Stainless Steel / 100
Civil - Concrete / 100

Worked like a charm. Thanks, TIG!

Hi All -

Does anyone know of a way to reference the current year in the DC attributes? As in, right now I want to reference 2011, the current year, DC attribute formulas, but come January 1, 2012, the reference should automatically update to 2012. I know how to do this in Excel, but could not figure it out in Sketchup. Anyone know how to do this?
