I’m trying to recreate this type of facade with a linear dynamic component that can be REDRAW() for each level. There are several sub-components, each is a panel with a specified width. How can I get SketchUp to randomly add-on panels until it gets to the dynamic component’s full length? Or is there another way of having a dimension randomly filled with components of different widths?
I do not see a random facade. It is made up of repeating patterns, which is easy to do with DCs.
The only thing that “appears” random is the placement of the green trims in 6 places. The rest is just repeated patterns of windows and siding, that may have random selection of brown shades.
=CHOOSE(RANDOM(1,4),Tan,Brown,Beige,Sand)
Examine the samples like the Picket Fence that makes copies of pickets, based upon the length after the user stretches it.
Dan - thanks for your reply. The idea of using CHOOSE() with RANDOM() is brilliant, very appreciated.
I’m wondering, is it possible to use CHOOSE() to pick from a set component options? For example, if I had 4 facade panel components that were the same dimensions but had different contents, could I use CHOOSE() to randomly insert one? (or, in the case of picket fences, 4 picket types to be selected from at random.)
