Sketchup Parameters extraction

Hey @andy_ng ,

To add attributes to a component, you need to use the Component Attributes dialog box, which you can access from the Dynamic Components toolbar or the Window menu. Here are the basic steps to add attributes:

  1. Select the component
  2. Select Window > Component Attributes
  3. In the Component Attributes dialog box, click the + button next to the component’s name. A list of attributes appears for the component.
  4. To add a predefined attribute, select it from the list and click the + button at the bottom of the dialog box. A new row appears with the attribute name and value.
  5. To add a custom attribute, click the + button at the bottom of the dialog box and type a name for the attribute. Then, enter a value for the attribute in the Value column. You can use numbers, text, formulas, or functions as values.
  6. To make an attribute end-user configurable, click the Details button to the right of the attribute and choose a display rule from the drop-down list. You can either allow users to edit the attribute as a textbox or select from a list of options that you define.
