Thank you. This was helpful, but it's exactly the way I was thinking it would work. I was hoping there would be a better way. Thanks a bunch for showing us how this is done. One thing you might show is how it looks when you send it to Layout, such as best views to show in Layout so it's clear to someone else who have never seen the drawing before what is going on. That's always my challenge.

@jkonutube3 жыл бұрын
Great video! I have a couple of questions. By making the items in the exploded view unique, does that break the relationship to the original component, if I later change the size of items, say I make the cabinet deeper will that carry over to the exploded view? Second, how does having items on different layers affect creating a cut list using something like OCL?
@Thesketchupessentials3 жыл бұрын
Correct to the first question - if you make it unique, it breaks the relationship. If you follow this method, I'd recommend saving a new version of the file before doing that just in case you need to make changes. Can't speak to anything having to do with OCL as I haven't used it

Fantastic, educational video. Really puts Sketchup Exploded Views into perspective... Seriously, I do like how thorough you are with the details. It makes it so much easier when translating back to Make 2017. In addition, your enthusiasm makes an otherwise dry subject entertaining. The idea of the exploded view makes me wonder if there is a standard SketchUp / woodworking way to document components with build instructions. The cut list plugin is great for getting the shape of a board. I wonder if there is a technique / plugin for documenting processing that needs to be applied to a cut board (e.g. rabbets, dados, and grooves).

Love this tutorial. I just got the Nudge extension, and it would be handy on a project like this one. Love the use of layers. You could export an explosion animation I suppose? So, place them in the same spatial location, and as you export the scenes as an animation, SKU would blend them/animate them for you. Worth a shot. The other thought (and it's way more complex) is to make these elements into dynamic components and with some duct tape and ingenuity, program the components for a one click explode on that puppy. That's beyond my dynamic component coding for sure, but I suspect it's possible. "on click" and change your location on a given axis etc. This could be the non-destructive methodology we're looking for. Can't thank you enough for the great extension reviews--it's saved me 2 to 3 hours this week alone.
@Thesketchupessentials6 жыл бұрын
Interesting idea - probably if I was really worried about creating a non destructive version, I'd use the extension "Animator" by Fredo6 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5yYfZWnmbqqf8k ). It has the ability to create moving animations, so you could animate the movement of each individual piece. Thanks!
