Live Components | New experimental feature from SketchUp Labs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 окт 2020
- Live Components are a new, experimental feature that allows you to customize special components in your browser, then download them onto your computer to be imported into SketchUp. Sort of like dynamic components, but with a whole lot more potential.

Thanks for being my SketchUp News reporter! I always appreciate your take on the updates.
Hello math! Great video. I like the way sketchup is turning in to a BIM tool / platform, step by step. would like to see some great connections between live components and Generate report. Cheers!
Gotta have this, I'm a kitchen/interior designer and the application potential is huge. I'm also consulting with a custom cabinet shop in working with Sketchup conversion to their CNC machine for production. Can't happen fast enough. Perhaps this is one aspect of the value Trimble is baking into the new subscription model. Bring it on.
Hi,
I have been using Dynamic Components every day it feels like for the past 6+ years, in the video you mentioned you hoped more people would use Dynamic components on products, I have done just that.
In 2014 I was tasked with creating a way to Invent a new Steel Framed SIP Panel Residential Housing System here in Australia when our Draftsman pulled out of our Startup, I decided to go with Sketchup and taught my self, at first I was only using it for Manufacturing Drawings of our components as we had another program that suppose to do the estimating with another program called Buildercost.
When the other software didn't work out, I start researching Sketchup and was when I learned about Dynamic Components & the Generate Report function with the ability to export a .csv file... this was a game a changer... The estimating software I was working with could read .csv files and only needed a Qty, Itemcode and length or m2 amount showing and it could create accurate purchase orders... sort of... never seen an Estimating program to date that can do the basics of 3D Modeling Estimating & Purchases from a .csv file... hence why I write this...
I have modelled hundreds of modelled components with Dynamic Component custom Attributes assigned like Name, Itemcode, Length, Width, Thickness, Type, Colour, Weight, Price, Supplier.
I used basic Excel formula's to calculate what can change within the model it self like length, weight, thickness, width using the LenX, LenY, LenZ
for eg, My Custom Attribute is Length: my code looks like this =LenY*10
My LenY in my model just represents the Axis length and im just assigning a code to attached to it, I increase the length of Model it increase my Length Attribute, im sure u know this but for people didnt...
my biggest problem right now is,
When I model a home out of the components it will be built out of using all those dynamic attributes so I can create an accurate list of ordering materials and price, some times I need to edit a beam or post and the moment I make it its own component or I do edit it , it changes all my other copied models...
The problem attributes are Price and Weight, they are created off the models Axis and if my pricing increases from suppliers and I want to update my models I would have to search down every individual model within that home and change the price manually... this fundamentally makes sketchups estimating system within sketchup not completed,
Im in the process of creating a software program that can read less attributes in the .csv file but boy it would be cool to have this all done with a dynamic component frame work.
I am really interested in how you are doing that! Would you mind if I ask you a few questions about how you accomplish this?
@@danielcadby1502 hi mate send me a message on instagram @modular_buildings_australia
This is really awesome. I just wish Generate Report were more functional so you could extract data more easily. Would simplify things a bit, I think. Hopefully Live components will fill in the gaps.
@@Mastersketchup I'm developing Estimating software where u can import the .CSV file from sketchup and produce accurate purchase order and or quote request,
Spent 4+ years working with another Estimating software that does similar, I'm a fair way out but you'll love it when it's done,
Simply create a model, turn into a component, then give it a itemcode, length or Qty type custom attribute then use those to import into my Estimating software where it holds the rest of the smarts, like price, weight, supplier etc
33 million people using sketchup to create pictures... when the most powerful feature on sketchup is infact Estimating
Nice video Matt and great "research"! I think this is a big step forwards.
They really are simply dynamic components with only a better user interface to choose options.
thanks alot man
Hi! Thanks for the video! Do we know if people who just bought the classic license will get to fully use Live Components?
Well they aren't selling perpetual licenses moving forward, so the only way to get the next version of SketchUp Pro is to subscribe...
Just downloaded and tried to configure a live component. It appears that there is no option for imperial measurement. All I saw was metric unlike dynamic components where you can toggle between metric and imperial. Am I missing something?
If it's node based, that could be a game changer. Check out a few entry tutorials on Blender. All the 3D rendering is node based. Gives you a ton of control and lets you really dial things in, but also make large changes really quick.
Blender is awesome! I'm a total noob, but have really liked it especially since ver 2.8
Looks like a great and long needed upgrade for Dynamic Components.
I will be disappointed if it is not included in the SketchUp 2021 version upgrade.
Thanks for update. I’m with you on this Matt, very exciting addition if I’m understanding it correctly. I have a kitchen business and use Sketchup Pro for manufacture and presentation. It sounds like this could be used as a tool for adjusting door sizes/styles throughout the model in a much more efficient way? Have always had to do each individually which can take some time!
Yes, exactly! You could, in theory, change the door styles of all your cabinets in one click!
@@Mastersketchup game changer!
Congrats on the family extension (pun intended)
Lol, thank you. But unlike SketchUp extensions, these ones greatly hinder my ability to get any work done!
Seems that common configuration will be available within the model, right?
eventually!
So, should I as a designer bother figuring out Dynamic components for kitchen cabinets or wait until the Live components matures in the next few months. As in SU 2021 I can edit with in SU the Live component.
hi. i'm on stuck right now. i need to make hose model in sketchup that can move flexible when i move each point of hose. which can be animate in sketchup. help me please. what plugin i should use? would you please make the tutorial about this?
Future is now , old man
i like it
احسنت
Hope that this new feature would not imply the old Dynamic Components to be totally dismissed....
I doubt they would remove the feature. There are so many dynamic components out there already and it would break so many workflows that people have created.
Are you an Architect?
No, but I smell like one.
@@Mastersketchup Lol. And Congrats on your new duties x 2 (and joys)
Yeah, SketchUp and potential... The only thing that dissapoints me more often is my country's government!
