Hi All, I’ve been using Sketchup Pro now for about three years to design wine cellars. I’m 100% self taught so please excuse my naivety around this subject. Most of the wine cellar racking I create is constructed within specific parameters and dimensions and up until now I just make everything as I go or make components. The racking is made up of a series of holes which run horizontal and vertical, constructing different combinations of these can be quite time consuming and I’m sure I could be making use of the Dynamic component function in some way to make my like a little easier. Could someone please help me with this? I have watched a few youtube videos on the subject but I’m still struggling. Any help to try and simplify things would be very much appreciated, thank you. ---

Please provide an image or the model so that we can understand the problem… ---

Hi Cotty, Thanks for the speedy response. I’v attached a basic model of what I’m basically trying to achieve. I’m looking to be able to just click on the options and go from a one bottle setup to (for example) a ten wide by 10 high setup, there are 100’s of combination’s but this should give you a good idea of what I would like to achieve.[Wine rack example.skp](https://forums.sketchup.com/uploads/short-url/wR5rEKfFlUBAtDtmvJAAkGmpOM3.skp) (529.3 KB) ---
