SketchUp Dynamic Components
1

Hello Forum,
First time I’m here, some headache make me doing:
( Because I’m new by and never played with dynamic component)

For my own privat Project I need a double

  • door who can open/ close.
    -The outside each door has different design elements.
  • leftside should be closed before right side, but this is optional.

What I have done: o made the doorframe as a component.
Inside of this frame- component I made the leftdoor as a component and also the right door. So there is the frame who has two doors as each standalone component…
Well, that’s it what I could do…
Who can help me.im small steps ( help the old man over the road, haha) to finish my small dream?
Thank you all in advance, PM is welcome.

Step 1: Axis position
select left door (its axis is closest to the hinge point)
open the DC attributes. choose rotZ, place a value, the door will rotate about this axis at the inserted axis point,
you will note that values above 180 become negative co-angles
the rotation as per right hand rule for vectors

left door
left door1289×902 126 KB

and for the right

right door
right door1184×850 124 KB

that is because the axis and insert point is in line with the latch
so first line the axis with hinge points (right click menu)

then work the positions you wish to rotate from - to

then you can use the onclick attribute and add

animateslow(“RotZ”,0,90) to right, animateslow(“RotZ”,0,-90) to left
