Hi everyone! Let me know what other kinds of dynamic component tutorials you'd like to see in the comments below!

[@TheWazotube]

Great simplified explanation. Thank you for this professional presentation. I learned a lot from your educational videos and look forward to more

[@wondewag]

Thanks so much

[@Creative_Quest]

thank you........ really so usefully ......we need more and more like this tutorial

[@erlwindegans3954]

I would love to see a more in-depth video on dynamic components with multiplying sub components that round down to fit a round number of sub components

[@tamasajtony9855]

Thanks, great lesson

[@edayers315]

Love your videos. Could you show how to use the dynamic components with pivot points in multiple pieces that would move the components at the same time and degrees? thanks!

[@angelarakov5512]

That is what i was looking for!

[@yashvantchudasama3208]

thank you so much mere Bhai...this will save my lot of time

[@chriscellemarquez8846]

Thanks sir

[@slappingnoob]

thank you

[@anilthakkar2372]

Very Informative video.......just wanted to ask whether we can add material dropdown list for users to select the color or texture to change the whole cabinet color in one click?

[@triumfdula8830]

Is there a video about controling the number of racks (setting automatically the distances also) in the component options?

[@ayushtyagi9185]

Yes, I would also like to know how to do this.

[@PHANTOmIND8]

Informative

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks!

[@brianwohn]

Hello, thanks for this. I'm trying to make the shelves a calculation using the Copies... I've tried for hours, and cannot get it to work properly. Can you show how to add # of shelves and have it space them evenly from top to bottom? Thank yoU!

[@melissalaird2006]

I could really use a video on how to draw adjustable shelf holes quickly

[@triumfdula8830]

At the shelving unit if we set x,y and z sizes instead of a custom names of width and depth, what would be the difference ?

[@MrSlimfinger]

Great tutorial! How would I use dynamic components like this when, for example, drawing a kitchen? Could I base all kitchen cabinets on one and the same component, and would I then have to "make unique" for each cabinet that differ from the majority of the cabinets, or is each dynamic component still independent from the others in term of the size I choose? Hope you understand what I mean - how to use multiple copies of the same component.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I'm pretty sure they're independent but haven't really messed with this much

[@DustyFixes]

Awesome video. This would work very well for working with cabinets. How would I set it up so I can adjust the cabinet to a standard width and have the shelves 1.5" shorter?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I'd do the same thing I did with the depth, only using the Z location instead of the width

[@jabastinrenu]

INSTEAD OF CREATING DYANAMIC COMPONENTS EVERYTIME. YOU CAN USE FREDO SCALE PLUGIN. THAT WORKS LIKE A CHARM BOTH IN HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL DIRECTIONS

[@abararahmed9402]

Nice lemme apply this in my project and I'll let u know feedback

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Sounds good

[@christianc.8848]

great video. But i have question. In my case my top shelf covers the sides for about 4cm. What do i have to type in the command line? Top Shelf=40cm+2cm? It dosnt work.

[@wawiartandco858]

can you help me how to make model for walkingpad by kingsmith, especially the C2 model. I'm a bit confusing how to make it. thanks.

[@hadibq]

👍👍

[@winsonlee16]

How to do in 45deg shelf edge. I try it make scale change

[@user-rr8hs5gp3n]

Hello, Can someone help me with this formula problem? When I add the component from the library, the formula is functional, when I want to change the size, the formulas are no longer recognized by the program(UNKNOW FUNCTION) I have uninstalled/reinstalled the program several times, as well as the dynamic components plugin without any results. Before I managed to fix it by repairing the software, but the problem appeared again.

[@zuowa]

Hello. Is there a way to remove dynamic components from the model? My company has a large library and all models are dynamic. Sometimes I need to make changes manually and the model crashes because of it. If someone knows please tell me

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Explode them?

[@ChrisWill]

Every time he says "side pieces" lol

[@Thesketchupessentials]

...sigh 😂

[@juhu5119]
