Hey Design Nation in this session you're going to learn how to use dynamic components
in sketchup
hey so we're gonna learn about how to use
sketch's dynamic components so to be clear we're not going to learn how
to make them, we're just going to learn
how to find some and how to operate the ones that
do you find. So I just want to make that very clear
and actually this is SketchUp
the free version. So you actually can't
make SketchUp components in
the free version you can only use them so at this going to illustrate my point
pretty well I'm so if you click on susan
when you open up oven our version A Sketch up this is actually the
the 2012 version
so if you click on susan you know she's heard
you typically think that she serve a dumb component rate
you can copy here and you can change long version
her and had to the
to the other great it'll change that
to typically that cell components are used but our people don't know that
as susan is actually a dynamic component so if you go to
um toolbars view toolbars
in you scroll down you'll see that there's a
the then ima components options that you click that
nope up this little window and this window has a finger which is the
interact with genetic components
I miss a drop down list which is porn options
and this great outbox is component attributes
and says pro only because this is what you would use if you're going to make
your own den ima components
but since we're just going to operate are dynamic components
which can use his first two anyway some gonna go ahead and Doc this
over to the side am going to open this component options
see you can see I don't have anything selected and this is no good
component selected select one or more components to peer
options so I'm gonna slip Susan
an axe brings up this dialogue my basically says his members ketchup
development team
blah blah blah and you can change the color Hirscher
so you can change it to read or
turkey slices new consider any these colors this they've program this in
you can actually changes to any color you one if you're a program in
them it could be a random color it could be soon anything you
they could be material to we make
if I clicked this interact with many components he actually change for sure
just
by creaking to and I'll cycle through the colors
so I'm actually gonna show you
I'm some more dynamic components mentally Susan
to get a window components and a pop up your component
components window
and you can see any arm
any thumbnail that has this little logo in the corner
is a dynamic component so if you
open up few import wannabes its gonna have
pram inner sky have something in the
net so this is saying he's a skillful to resize went to the bench
so doesn't have anything specifically in the common options
but it is still a dynamic so basically
it depending on who ever made it how they made you
their name a component they're gonna be different options available so maybe you
won't be able to use
the component option that they believe you would use the correct or
or maybe I'm like this is saying if you hit s
and there's a ass at their skills
will notice that there are only two groups on this and if you drag
eg it'll like than the bench
so this is you know sort of all all this one does
is you can lighten the bench and edges spaces out he only so
you can change size fit dozen it looks like it's gonna make everything fat but
it will resize
I'm everything to be with you would want it to look like
so I mentally torsten
who taxing went into the click to the
in a show you that the this wall
so the freeman was something it you know if you're in architecture you've done
before
you can actually change the spacing to 24 inch spacing
week change hi you can change the link so you know if you wanna have
12 wall he can do that you can change the link so if you know specifically
what sixty-foot wall
there do that or if you so to have what you want anyone to just mess around you
can hit that ass
to scale and you can just drag it and it's really nice for that so you know
has to basics to buy for if you wanted to
you could edit this and you can make it metal studs
this is really nice and so what it can do and it makes things a little bit
quicker
then it would be to model everything
on your own and one other thing that I wanna show before and this video
is cars so the best thing I've
I have in have my own cars that I use I don't use this car
but really it denim components if you're using
a lot the same component anyone urges change one or two things
tech components are fantastic am
so for cars in renderings things like that
don't have a ton of different cars because cars
inherently are pretty heavy models
so you enter minimize the
different components of cars that you have and if you want to change the color
up the same car to just give a little better variety
it's tough to do without increasing your file size: anyway so
what I've actually learned is that through using
denim components you can change you can use one car
and change the color of it to give a lot a different variety
by shifting the direction up the car whether it's facing forward or backwards
if you're doing a parking lot and some cars pulled in and some cars backed in
and variety of color changes
you can get a really dynamic feel
without having a ton of different models so
I'm this is kinda like a fancy little
car that they made the doors open
its its kinda cute and action when you click on
I think the tires rotated yep to think on this
this is probably way to answer the need
and missed is just so to showcasing white
ad and coupons can do so this pops up these little spheres
on and you can click on them no change the car to that color and the spheres
to spear so it's kinda nice
interactive option I'm its kinda finicky so you'll notice
when I copy this car over and the first time that I click it
in a pop up these as fears over here
so she's kinda finicky that way so
I'd say the more that you can keep your components simple
on the better but research shows you what you can do
and this is the same component and disordered changing
one parameter and sitting on your file size:
if you have a question about how to use dynamic components
feel free to leave it in the comments below and you can follow the link
in the description over to our website a designer hacks to calm
and there'll be a writer this video on their own food some links to
download to the dynamic component that I use
all the time so if you wanna get a quick
inside look at Turfway I use am and how I used a compliance is a good place
and as always thanks for listening and particulates
