Good morning everybody. This component is measured in inches, I would like to know how I can change it to millimeters.

[DaveR]

What do you mean? In your model you already have units set to millimeters.

[gavaoliver]

Hello friend, thank you. But what I need is to edit the component. In this case, this component was created in Inches, and I would like to change the component to millimeters, as shown in the image. I tried to edit the component, but I didn’t find any specific field where I could change from Inches to Millimeters.

[DaveR]

Edit the LenX and LenY attributes to display in millimeters.

One question @DaveR are your images from SketchUp 2024? I’m having problems with Component Options in sketchUp 2024, I watch the window but there is no data in it. Hoever I have no problem in SketchUp 2023.

[gavaoliver]

Thank you very much. Exploring the component, I discovered that I can change everything, including the label language. Have a good day.

@rtches

are your images from SketchUp 2024?

Yes. That’s in SketchUp 2024.

Make sure you have the latest version of the Dynamic Components extension installed.

@gavaoliver

Thank you very much.

You’re quite welcome. And yse, there’s a lot you can do. Maybe change the LenX and LenY labels to something that means more relative to the object. Maybe Width and Length.

Make sure you have the latest version of the Dynamic Components extension installed.

Yes, there’s no update avaliable

I’m having problems in windows and mac. Do you know if the problem could be the language?

[DaveR]

I guess I don’t know what the problem is. Maybe @colin has some insight.

What I wrote in this message is still the same in 2024:

Components don't appear in "Component Option" Window

I went back to read the original post, and yes, what you say seems to be the case. Opening Component Options when a component is already select (any kind of component), gives you a working window for the rest of the session. Opening Component Options when no component is selected, gives you a non-working window for the rest of the session. There is one thing you need to do to make sure the problem happens. First open Component Attributes, then open Component Options, and now select a component.…

If you select a component and open the two windows, you won’t see the problem for the rest of that session. If you open both windows before selecting a component, you will see the problem for the rest of that session. When you saw it work in 2023 and not in 2024, you had done different steps.

@DanRathbun came up with a patch a while back:

@DanRathbun

So for a fix, a fix script can be dropped into the Plugins folder …

unless Sketchup::Model.method_defined? :deleted?
  class Sketchup::Model
    def deleted?
      !valid?()
    end
  end # class
end # unless
