What kind of cool ways can you think of to use this in your models?

i just started learning Dynamic Components about a year ago, and they are life changing! I've built a whole library of my architectural components that allow me to adjust size and number and mullions, etc. on windows, among many other things! With that said, specific to this tutorial, a FANTASTIC use case that i am going to implement is to apply this to my "rock" to allow my to place them around and very quickly change direction to give a better look, as well as making rock walls that dont look repeated. Same with vegetation, quickly change up flowers, etc.!

Hi, just getting to grips with Sketchup, and even though your tutorial is 2 years old now (Sep 2021), this is exactly what I am looking for. I will attempt to use this to rotate 2 components that are hinged together at 1 end, in opposite directions. I have 2 rectangular boxes that are hinged together on 1 long end. They remain flat on the horozontal plane, but I need the "hinged end" to move vertically up, so that the boxes go from "flat horizontally" to "standing up" vertically. Always difficult explaning complex motion in words, but hopefully its understood.
Thanks for the great tutorial!
