I thought I would share my Trimble Creator graph logic of a Telescopic Boom Crane I have been working on. It is not complete but it is coming along.

Have fun!
Ooh, Hollywood types would like some camera boom arms Iām sure
This is so dang cool!

Hello Chris
I love it and canāt wait to see more
Thanks. To be usable and nimble in SU, I will have to swap out much of the SU structure with something a bit simpler and cleaner. The last step is to figure out the logic behind the piston jacks. It shouldnāt be to difficult. I will update here when I get it finished.
Cheers!
I am pretty much done. I decided to remove the modelās lift cylinders and replaced them with cylinder nodes from Trimble Creator. I couldnāt get the correct angles to work and in using the cylinder node, I was able to simplify much of the logic without sacrificing to much detail.
I also added functionality to the outrigger arms and feet.
Okā¦ now I am done.
I figured out the cylinder housing logic and I added an optional ācoverageā ring. I have updated the graph in the link above.
That is cool. Iām not familiar with creator. Is that something I have access to as part of SketchUp pro? Any chance of a youtube video of how you accomplished this? It is something I would definitely learn how to do.

Trimble Creator is in beta through SketchUp Labs and is currently open for you to try.
See this updated post
Cheers!

Fantastic job. I could really use something similar to this for my assembly automation and robotics concepts.
By the way, in robotics, we call the ācoverage ringā the āworking envelopeā.
