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

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. 
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

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.

Yer that’s about right.
Assuming you’ve got sketchup with SketchUp’s dynamic component extension installed……
Then you’d just need to install our plugin, which exports the 3D model completely including its dynamic functionality
Then you load all that into our web app
Just like the video shows
We did complete it. It was used by our customers, for making their dynamic components configurable on the web (just like the video shows). But it was private, it wasn’t available publicly on the plugin store
However we’ve not worked on it for a long time, and I’m considering the open source route as well as talking to other companies like mine who could put some firepower behind it to get it going again
