How to Find and Use Sketchup’s Dynamic Components
Even if you’re an experienced sketchup user it’s possible dynamic components aren’t a part of your digital toolbox yet. In the below video, we showcase the kind of things that you can do with dynamic components and give you a quick walk through on how to find some.
How to Find and Use Sketchup Dynamic Components
Notes:
To find dynamic components in the 3d warehouse look for the ‘
‘ symbol in the upper right of the component preview box.
This symbol identifies what’s dynamic and what’s not. If you’d prefer to not sift through the good and bad, you can checkout some of ones we use at designer hacks.
Any comments or questions? Feel Free to leave them below.
Deciduous trees should only be used for shade (especially in temperate climates). Deciduous trees lose their leaves in the fall and will have little protection against wind in the winter when it is most needed. Likewise, the leafless trees allow solar heat gain in the winter when it is desired, and shade in the summer.
Coniferous trees are only to be used to block wind and views. Since they don’t lose their needles, they work great for these two items year-round.
Hello. My name is Shahid. This comment is for anyone who would like to reply. On the Siteplanning test. To block the wind, can you use a Deciduous tree or must you use a Coniferous tree?
Hi Tony,
I need to take 5.0 PPD & PDD. Do you plan on posting notes such as “Caroline’s Notes” that you had posted for the various 4.0 exams for either of those sections? I found those notes to be some of the best resources in studying for the 4.0 sections. If so any idea when? Thanks
Hi Tony,
Any updates on the SS exam ? If there’s an expected release date ? Thanks
Paige,
We are releasing practice exams for the SS exam later this fall.
Best,
Tony
Will you have SS questions on here at some point?
Great post, very helpful with the lists of suggested materials, I just passed CDs in July and am taking PPP in November so I definitely needed the list.
