Wow. suddenly this video blew up. So glad it's helpful. Maybe i should make some more but I'm not shure whats best to cover. I use SketchUp professionally, so let me know if there is something in particular you would like me to cover. :)
Loved your video, quick question, for some reason I can open my door to the right but never to the left. Do you perhaps know why? I'd be hella thankful if you knew this!
In that case you would open all doors at once, not individually (or have an obseen amount of tags aka layers). You would also not se the effect of the door opening. But i do use the "opendoors" tags/layers for the layout plane.
Thank you for sharing that video, I've made a few dynamic doors just fine. But when I was trying to create a dynamic double office door with a shared door frame, it just wouldn't work. Could you give me some tips please?
Hi Sandra... Sorry for missing your comment. The double door is pretty much the same principle, but with 2 components nested in the Dynamic door. No tutorials for it but you can take a look at this door that i have shared in the 3Dwarehouse. 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=u7a27201b-57a2-4569-93a2-f2ddba22ad46
I think there's a way. Watch Aaron's series on the SketchUp channel. There is a box for the "customer" to choose options in and some of those are positions.
I just tried using this tutorial with Sketchup 2017 and it did not work. Every time I try to interact with the door I get "Invalid Entity to Animate" with no explanation as to what is wrong or why its 'invalid'? I am trying to create a sliding door, but when I first got the error I tried making it a rotating door and got the same results.
Upon further google searches fund the culprit. Apparently the Mac version does not like Quotes around the attribute. When I removed the quotes, my door suddenly was working, sliding back and fourth as its supposed to.
hi, how to make this component to be able to open & close, say five number of door at the same time, in one click. At the moments when I copied this component I have to open & close each door separately, which is very annoying, anyone can help ??!!
Hi. Yes you can do this. Just put your door component in in another component. And open that component before using the interact tool. For my sake i like to controll each door seperatly, even when it´s the same door component. Actions are a way do differentiate component and still keep them "un-unique". You can for example make a component with 5 types of random plants. It´s sort of a brain cluster to explain, but the bottom line is that it´s supposed to only effect the components you interact with, even if it´s not unique.... Sorry... really bad explanation. :)
I see you made this along time, but i guess i hoping for help anyway. The blue angle doesn't add up its just a X mark on it.. Btw are you swedish? If you are Tjena!
Good job. :) Remember that you can just mark the attribute you want to replace and simply click on the title of another variable... look at how I´m doing it on 07:45... ;)
@@MrTeeF Amazing tutorial. But eeek. I am also getting ERROR: Invalid entity to animate: ("Door!DoorOpening”) but my " " are in the right places and I clicked like you said. Any idea what could be wrong? :P I'm in 2020. So, maybe it doesn't work the same?
@@MrTeeF Darn. Not sure why it is not working. I tried 'Door!DoorOpening '. I'm on a mac, btw. But maybe it is something to do with it being 2020. I really appreciate your reply, though!
hey! do you have any idea how to make the exact same dynamic but with windows? I have a finished and completed project of a window, but I have no idea how to make it. This is the project: 3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/cd598a401a7ef144c4fe95b485f811e0/Janela-Basculante

Great video, thanks for the help. Just one thing, it's "comPOnent" :P
9 years since this video was made, still helping people :)
Well 7 years later, this tuto still helped me. That's great ;) Thanks a lot
8 years later, big thank you for short and concise video
yeee... I need to update my tutorial on my professional channel, www.youtube.com/@fosseli. ;)
Thanks for the concise video. You answered all my questions I've had for months on animating doors and why I couldn't do it - needed pro!
The best video with sketchup open door dynamic components! Thank you!
It worked perfectly just as I wanted. Thank you very much
I'm eagerly waiting for more videos sir

@@Dee-94 just put in negative numbers to swing the other way. Or flip the door component. ;)
@@MrTeeF I tried doing that too but it doesn't work for me... i've been trying to see what i'm doing wrong here. Thanks tho!
@@Dee-94 remember to put the dynamic component inside a nested component... (doorframe -> door)
@@MrTeeF Yeah, I already have it that way. Thank you! :)
You can have the similar effect with the make version, just make every door in two modes, open and closed and put them in different layers!
In that case you would open all doors at once, not individually (or have an obseen amount of tags aka layers). You would also not se the effect of the door opening. But i do use the "opendoors" tags/layers for the layout plane.
thanks it help alot
Can it created a opening at the window too? or another objects?

No problem at all. I've figured it out but thanks so much for getting back to me. Thank you.
Sir plzzzzzz kindly continue the series sir
Nice video
Plzzzzzz.......do make more videos sir
Thanks man. Tho i'm stuck with an idea, do you know how to make dynamic doors animate in an animation without having to use the on-click tool?
+Kim Bab not without a separate extention. But I'm guessing you probably could do it with a fancy Ruby script. But thats way beyond my paygrade. :P
I think there's a way.
Watch Aaron's series on the SketchUp channel. There is a box for the "customer" to choose options in and some of those are positions.
I found a glitch the other day. It only works right if I'm "rotz"ing. It won't work right if I'm "roty"ing.
😕
Don't know why...
Thanks, very useful :)
How to change pivot of rotation?
Easiest way: Rigth click (opt+click) on your door and select flipp along red or green axis. ;)
Thanks.

+Pawel P you need to nest them all in the same component and set the value and on click action on that component.

Btw are you swedish? If you are Tjena!
Nesten. Norsk. Hva mener du? Får du ikke aksen opp? Prøv og last ned min dør. Lenke i beskrivelsen.
I think you're in "position", not "rotation".
I keep getting "invalid entity to animate: (Group!DoorOpening")
actually I got it, its the " "

Same principle. Just put the axis at the pivot and select rotate for the rigth axis.
@@MrTeeF thank you! I'll try again

Nice tutorial... but rushing at the end wasn't a help.
you didn't even leave a tweet for ted cruz, downvoted
