I need to pull into layout labels from dynamic components info - for example LenY. Everything is set up properly (visibility for users), but there is no chance to use it in label in LayOut - I can not see this label option. Other labels (options) I create myself is useable. Any advance? Thank you. …

the only thing is to set up an attribute to reflect the value of LenY, maybe use name to express ="box " & leny & " x " & lenx

have you created any relation or formulas in your attributes, (assuming you are new to this the fx button toggles the results and formulas) so in the example [image] then in layout, you can choose the required label [image] if still unclear, can you post one of your components and we can work t…

Hey Phil, Thanks so much for the timely and helpful response. I’m going to work on it later today. I’m a spreadsheet junkie so I think I’m really going to enjoy working with the formulas in sketch up. I am surprised at the lack of (or my ability to find) information out there on the more advan…
