Web Configurable Dynamic components

Im looking for someone who knows how to make a program that can be implemented into a website which allows the viewing and editing Dynamic Component options.

This has already been done but the creator hasnt been active for a year.

Live components can (I think) be used in the web versions of SU.

Is that a useful alternative?

They can be viewed but not actually configured.

What a great idea to manipulate the model like this. Unfortunately I don’t have any help for you at the moment, but I will discuss this possibility with our team. I can think of a lot of applications right now. If we find something, I’ll let you know (but I don’t expect it any time soon).

If you find something, please share it here as well. Thanks for the food for thought.

Hi @Sketchupguy4 I’m here and I’ll remain attentive to your posts

Thanks for posting the video @Sketchupguy4

For context here is the original post

Ok so I guess you’ve got a tonne of dynamic components that you’d like to use

SketchUp’s live component feature means you’d have to build them all again from scratch and you wouldn’t be able to configure them in a website

There’s shapeDiver, that allows you to make parametric models configurable in a website. however you’d likewise have to make these models from scratch but in grasshopper for rhino

Hey hope you’re well. Did anything ever happen with this. I really want to be able to embed a dynamic component into my website. Thanks

You click the link? Apparently yes you can do that.

Yes I’ve watched the video. But there’s no more explanation on how to do it. I really need to be able to it

Sorry I didn’t read it thoroughly. :flushed: It is an extension that was in development and never made it to completion…? Anyways it is not available in the warehouse as far as I can tell. So options would be you (or someone else) would have to build an extension (clearly possible), or you could try messaging the creator @eskimo to see if you can get a copy/licence from him. Too bad its not available…

It will require both a SketchUp application extension (to export the model to a proprietary JSON format, then upload that file and any texture files to a website) and the web app (shown in the video) to display and allow configuring the model online.

Have you tried to do it yourself?

I can’t see a way to direct message him

Click on the name beside his picture above, then click Message.

Oh I don’t see that option. Might be because I’m on phone. Or because my access is basic

Probably you are too new here.

I have not as he has not released it. I also do not have a website at this time and no need.
