@laggingbehind said: I guess the reason I wanted to go down the Schema route is because if I have a drawing with 30 components I thought it would be easier than creating the attributes each time....however I stand to be corrected if I'm wrong That sounds about right if you don't need reporting directly in SketchUp. I don't know if there are extensions that provide Classification reporting for SketchUp - there is no reason there couldn't be one similar to "Generate Report" only for Classifications.

Argh so I now know what I've done wrong.. When I've typed in my formulas I've typed I've referenced other components in the bench which are common to both static & mobile benches. I'm now referencing everything back to the overall size of the parent component which I'm hoping will fix my issues...Tis a learning curve indeed. Thanks for the help.

Resizing Dynamic Components only uses the Scale tool. To resize just part of that shape (the wider raised area in your screen shot), you'll have to divide the entire thing into two separate components. The 55 and 510 sections can be one component, the 165 needs to be another component. Then the 165 can be set up to scale while the larger component doesn't get changed.

Thanks Box... you're my hero of the day. Today has been a good learning day

You two are stars...very much appreciated

Nah, I'm good to go now thanks

Could you share the component? It'll be much easier to tell you what's wrong with it if we can actually see it.

Thanks Dave
