Animating Doors and Windows with DYNAMIC COMPONENTS in SketchUp!

this does not work, the last number doesn't even matter to sketchup it just always goes to the 0 on the axis even if you set the new origin to the component

So sad... not working on my sketchup 2021 TT

how to put the base. i wanted my door shelve to swing upward, but the base in on the bottom not on top..

If you have multiple instances of the same dynamic component, does sketchup HAVE to rename it to a unique name like if you use different options of the dynamic? for example, I made 1 door, put it in my model 10 times, and individually clicked on a couple doors to open them. So now I have components named Standard Door, Standard Door #1, Standard Door #2, etc... Its making my components in model list too confusing! can you make it so Sketchup doesn't make the components unique? technically, they're the same component

Once I have created my item and all moving parts, how do I record it and make a video of them moving piece by piece? Thanks

what if I make propellar for drone motors which function do I have to set? Again animation like you did or another? I am newbie, if it's easy to do please be kind :) Have a nice day!

I'm still trying to figure out how he made that door...

Thank you Justin. I did try this for a long time and could not get the axes to work and i still don't know how it is working now.

Do you need to do this if you want to animate the door in lumion as well?

Please make more indepth

strange. i can't pull the surface once i set it to components. anything i may missed?

Thank you!!!

How to use this animation in lumion 11

Thanks sir

I love dynamic components! Can you show me how you would do bi-fold doors?

being new to sketchup, great videos makes my work-flow so much easier! question, currently working on a project and can't figure out how to make a horseshoe shaped object into a wedge shape. pls help. i can message you if its easier that way. pls lmk TIA!!

Hi Justin,
Is it possible to import CAD profiles of Aluminium extrusions into Fusion 360 or Sketch up to create a 3D presentation ? Many Thanks

Thanks,

Thank you for this video. I'm going to use this not for doors, but for my other moving parts of my shop projects. It will remove lots of trial and error. Excellent video.

Nice video. Now... how would one go about animating a roll-up garage door?

this class showed me how important it would be if you could create a class teaching how to make a sliding door with configurable number of leaves. The same applies to a repeating floor or cladding, perhaps roof framing. already grateful

I've not done much SketchUp recently, last time I used animate functions to slide objects, there was a problem that it would randomly change to different positions along the chosen axis. Took a lot of trial & error & Google searches. But apparently there is (was) a problem if you chose metric in dynamic component , even if your project was defined in metric. If you switch to imperial, it functioned correctly. Is this still a SketchUp dynamic problem or is it fixed now since 2020 build?

This really helped with showing door opening on an alcove unit and wardrobe fir a client.

What about how to make drawers open and close. Could you show a video on that to please 🙏

Thanks for the knowledge and easy steps

This is Very cool
