Ho to the DEVs team! I use your wonderful Component Finder all the time! Real game changer!!!
I have one small issue though, which is illustrated in the attached image: seems like the plugin cuts word wherever it wants: would be better not to cut words, it's....bad to see
Is it possible to fix this?

RE: New to DC: topic for my simple questions to the pros
Hi again! I have an issue with the attached dynamic component: I can't figure out why I don't get the lower plane length to be updated if I change the length AFTER the copies are done. Seems like the lemgth parameter doesn't apply to the copies.... Does anyone have an hint or me?

RE: New to DC: topic for my simple questions to the pros
Hi Moor! Thank you very much for your support!
I've encountered another issue: I need to "cut" holes into a cloth sheet. Basically, I decide the cloth dimensions and, based on that, a series of holes must appear for it to be fixed to the surrounding structure. I observed that the "cutting component" works, but its copies do not.
Is there a way to fix this?THANKS A LOT!

RE: Saving dynamic component
Hi Juju! You're right, "dynamic groups" is a fantasy noun I gave to Groups which are aditable just like DCs. For some reasons I cannot explain to you for shortness, I'm in the situation I'd like to save a group with dynamic properties with the "Save As..." feature we have for DCs, but obviously the context menu entry doesn't appear for groups...
Is there an alternative way to make it happen?

RE: Saving dynamic component
Good day! Is there a way to save Dynamic Groups like we do for DCs?

RE: New to DC: topic for my simple questions to the pros
Hi again! i have a new small issue: I have a basic Dynamic Component which can be edited in its inner parts. I just want the dynamic component to report the size of its bounding box, depending of the things I put inside. In the component attributes, window the LenX LenY LenZ parameters correctly update when I add/move things inside the DC, but if I link to those values three different addributes ("length"=LenX, "width"=LenY, "height"=LenZ) I have to REDRAW the components if I want the values to update. Is there a way to update automatically?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE AS SUSUAL!

RE: New to DC: topic for my simple questions to the pros
hi again! Is there a way to insert a formula depending on the fact the result of an operation is an integer number? something like: IF LENX/LENY IS AN INTEGER NUMBER THEN WRITE 1,0.
I know how to use the If function, but i don't know if there's a way to check an integer number...
Thanks a lot!

RE: Any way to automatically label parts in a dynamic component?
@pcmoor said:
this is a DC text changer to reflect the first five numbers or period of lenX, a bit involved, and could be fine tuned to only copy a digit if it exists more than once. However it depends on how the machining reacts to invisible entities.
try it and let us know if its worth pursuingTHIS IS A WONDERFUL COMPONENT MOOR!THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! You helped me once again!

RE: Dynamic Component with max Len X
Hi Lego! I encountered this limitation too! Try to add a *2.54 after LenX. This converts the LenX value (returned in inches) to cm!

RE: Color picker shortcut
I don't know how I could have missed that....
Thank you box!** EDIT **
Actually, pressing the B for bucket actually re-opens the materials window, which is exactly what slows me down, having a vast number of materials to be loaded. IS there a way to jump directly to the eyedropper without opening the materials window? -

RE: ComponentFinder
Hi! I'm back with some additional info: this morning I had this issue when opening a new sketchup project, while in the previous file I had the "component finder" window active with an ongoing search word.

RE: ComponentFinder
Hi Hal! Thanks for your reply!
I'm actually using the plugin to visualize one single folder (with all its subfolders obviously) and I have about 60 models to report, not so much. I still haven't mapped the cases in which I encounter the issue, but I will in the next days! I'll let you know immediately!Thank you so much!
