Library Creation & Customization
Using a Sketchup library is easy but, as with any 3D modeling software, creating one from scratch takes time and skill. Skip the learning curve and let us create your product library for you! Our special focus on Sketchup Dynamic components and our experience in manufacturing, particularly in the woodworking industry, makes us the perfect candidate to create your product library.
Library/Product Design: {Dynamic or Standard models based on customer specifications}

Before creating a new library it is important to decide whether to build objects using dynamic or static components. Dynamic components are special object types in Sketchup that allow the user to add parametric formulas and "rules" to a model. For example, you could create a dynamic cabinet that added a new drawer automatically for every additional 8 inches of height. Similarly, you could limit the placement of accessory hooks on a slat wall to particular increments corresponding to that material. Dynamic components are powerful but take much longer to create than static products.
Please note: The Sketchup free version allows you to use dynamic components but it will not allow you to create them. You will also not be able to modify the rules or formulas of imported dynamic components in the free version.
