I’m making a easy rectangular stable in SketchUp Professional 2022 (suppose: rectangular field) and need to make it a dynamic part so I can change the X/Y/Z dimensions on the fly. I’ve colours on all 4 sides, a sample on two sides, and on one of many non-pattern / non-end sides I need to draw an arrow that may develop or shrink proportionately to the scale of the part.
Right here’s what it appears to be like like:
I need to draw the arrow on the highest or backside face. Alternately, I might draw 5-10 arrows (like a brand new sample) and slightly than develop or shrink they may simply improve or lower in quantity.
I do know I might do that in Format, however I sometimes have 5-10 of those parts in my fashions and would favor to deal with it within the part definition.
This sounds prefer it must be a simple/frequent factor to do however I couldn’t discover a comparable discussion board subject (possibly my search-fu is weak) or within the on-line tutorials.
Utility: designing course maps for Barn Hunt sport (www.barnhunt.com).
Any assist? Thanks!
insert a “descaler”, an embedded group that has a restricted worth for measurement, like a line of mounted size, a set measurement swatch works too
the thought is to create a cloth of arrows, then paint and rotate it on the perimeters you need, the quantity not the scale will change with the dimensions, offered the above scaler is positioned on one uncooked floor
I do not know what any of which means. Little assist?
If you need the arrow to develop or shrinks accordingly to the part you faint need to do something m, simply place the arrow inside it. For making copies in case you scale it you want to do a number of extra issues, there’s a video of Aaron making a fence utilizing dynamic parts on the sketchup YouTube channel. It’s significantly better than attempting to clarify on a remark tips on how to do it.
