SketchUp Plugin Tutorial

How to export Dynamic Components for the Konfiguruj configurator

The Konfiguruj Export plugin exports Dynamic Component parameters from SketchUp to a zip file (model.glb, parameters.json, materials) that you can upload to the configurator. Your model must use Dynamic Components with configurable parameters.

Download SketchUp pluginGo to Import

Installation

  1. Download the .rbz file using the button above.
  2. In SketchUp: Window → Extension Manager → Install Extension.
  3. Select konfiguruj_export.rbz. The plugin appears under Plugins → Konfiguruj Export.

Supported entities

The plugin reads Dynamic Component attributes from:

  • Groups – with Dynamic Component attributes in the dynamic_attributes dictionary
  • Component instances – with Dynamic Component attributes

Parameters

Supported parameter types:

  • Dimensions: LenX, LenY, LenZ, width, height, depth (and Czech: sirka, vyska, hloubka, prumer)
  • Materials: color, barva, material
  • Options: avariant, variant, typ

Formula syntax

  • Parent!param – references a parameter from the parent group/component
  • ComponentName!param – references a parameter from another component (e.g. stul!leny)

Effect types

  • scale – scale mesh on axis (x, y, z, xz)
  • position – position mesh from formula (e.g. from LenY)
  • material – apply material/color to mesh

Export workflow

  1. Open a SketchUp model with Dynamic Components.
  2. Select the root group or component that contains your parameters.
  3. Plugins → Konfiguruj Export → Export for Konfiguruj.
  4. Choose save location (default: modelname_configurator.zip).
  5. Upload the zip to the configurator via Import from SketchUp.

Troubleshooting

If the plugin does not export anything:

  • Run Plugins → Konfiguruj Export → Debug and check the Ruby Console (Window → Ruby Console) for entities and parameters found.
  • Ensure the root group/component with parameters is selected before running Export.

Materials

Only textured materials are exported as PNG. Color-only materials are skipped; the configurator supports textures. Dimension parameters are exported in cm (SketchUp returns inches; the plugin converts).
