Help with sketchup dynamic components


Hello,

I’m looking to create a solution where users can input the desired length of an item, adjusting only the middle pole, while keeping all other parts unchanged and in their positions. Additionally, we have pipes available in either 5cm or 10cm increments, such as a 10-15cm or 20cm pipe.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Yes, that’s all fairly straightforward. When I started, these two tutorials really helped:

And this one:

Have a watch of the videos. Try to build your component and if you get stuck at a point, come back here and upload your component so that someone here can help with specific details.

upload the model

I created this sample while everything was working, but there is still an issue. I want the system to change the component name when the length of the pipe increases or decreases.ses or decreases.

Right click, scale definition, will make have same scale factor, do all,
