Looking for way to create DC with custom user-fillable Angle

[Lowkey]

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to build a profile component in SketchUp where users can input custom angle cuts (like miters) at the ends. The component should allow users to fill in whatever angle they need.

I know that the current workaround is to create sub-components with pre-defined angle cuts, but this has limitations and time-consuming

1. is there a better approach to create a profile component with user-definable angle cuts?

2. Can Dynamic Components handle parametric angle cuts without creating numerous sub-components?

3. Are there any plugins or extensions that handle this use case?

Any tips, examples, or direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Since all dimension changes in DCs are scaling operations, splitting the object into subcomponents is necessary. There’s no extension that can override that.

Adding a user-set angle isn’t difficult with basic trig. In this example the angle can be set to anything greater than 0° and less that 90°.
