PRO This is a Pro only feature. Dynamic Components that use unique textures (textures that do not ship with SketchUp, such as photographic textures of a specific material), must be embedded in the Dynamic Component to be accessible when that component is used on different computers. To embed a texture in a Dynamic Component:
PRO This is a Pro only feature. You might want to allow the users of your dynamic component to configure some values of your dynamic component, such as the spacing between pickets in a fence or the width of your stairs. Values that are configurable will appear in a Component Options dialog box accessible from the component's context menu. To make a value configurable:
PRO This is a Pro only feature. You can create a component whose pricing changes based on the type of material or size of component the user chooses. To implement dynamic pricing in your dynamic component: Create a component, such as a cabinet door.
PRO This is a Pro only feature. You can constrain a component to a series of predefined sizes by placing specific formulas in the LenX, LenY, or LenZ fields of the parent component. Snapping to the nearest rounded value Place the following formula in the LenX field for a component to snap the component's LenX to the nearest width within 2 inches after scaling: LenX =ROUND(CURRENT("LenX")/2)*2
PRO This is a Pro only feature. A constrained dynamic component is a component that has elements (sub-components or sub-groups) that, when scaled with the Scale tool, will not change size or orientation to the axes. To constrain entities of a dynamic component:

PRO This is a Pro only feature. A repetitive dynamic component is a component containing a sub-component that replicate, such as the tiles within a floor component. In the case of a floor and tiles, the component scales in 2 dimensions, X, and Y.
