Im planning to do this with our windows template.Is it gonna be a large file ?

may I see the formula with this one bro? Thank you

It will be large because of all the components. Whats your use? to choose one to include in a model? I dont see file functions in Dynamic Components. I dont know Ruby Script but I think thats the answer. It would import a component from a list and keep the model small.

Edit: Open the file and you can look at the formula, the button in the upper right toggles it to formulas.

Im trying to create a dynamic component of our windows with all the sizes that we have. Yes,that is what I expected with this method, the file is gonna be large since we gonna put each of this in every window allocation. I guess I just gonna create a proper dynamic window.

Sorry bro. no data

One you could do it this way for a series. Look at the marvin windows in the 3d warehouse they have impressive dynamic components.

thats a bug with dynamic components. Sometime if you restart sketchup the data shows up.
