I built software which seamlessly made dynamic components configurable online in a web browser. A complete like-for-like transformation, including all the component options. Our web-based engine supported all of the spreadsheet formulas and their subtleties. Whatever you could configure in Sketch-up you could configure in our web-app too.
I’m not a developer, but I thought I’d just mention the above, incase it has any bearing on what is possible with regards to converting dynamic components to Live components (I thought about adding a link here to a demo, but I’m not sure what the rules etiquette is etc) ?
I trust Sketchup’s decision for this overhaul of dynamic components is the right one;
but there is still nevertheless loads of people who would benefit from being able to convert their DCs to LCs
And it may fall on third party developers such as my self and others to help make this happen.
