Here are a few interesting things you can find using the Warehouse: They have everything from simple buildings to an entire medieval city!
Just head on over to their website and start searching through the seemingly endless warehouse of models. I wasn’t joking when I said you could find pretty much anything on here.
Now that you’ve got SketchUp installed it’s time to get started by searching through the 3D Warehouse, where you can view and download pretty much anything ever created on the platform.ģD Warehouse is a database of user-created models available for anyone to access. SketchUp Free lacks a lot of the features Pro has, but if you’re just building and viewing 3D models for personal use (or looking for something that can print to your 3D printer), this is a great place to start. To use it, you must sign up for a free Timble ID with a valid email address.
#Sketchup pro features trial
Make is free-to-use for home, personal and educational use and it begins with a free 30-day trial of SketchUp Pro. Although Make is no longer updated following the November 2017 release, you can still download the installer to use on your computer.
#Sketchup pro features archive
To import the model, you will need to unzip the archive first.Sketchup was created in 1999 by Software. In 2006, Google acquired SketchUp after Software created a plugin for Google Earth that caught the eye of the tech giant. Most importing applications will not be able to unzip this archive file without your help. On export from SketchUp for Web, a zipped archive file will be downloaded to your local disk for models that include referenced texture images.
#Sketchup pro features zip
Once you have created the zip archive, upload that through SketchUp for Web’s Import user interface. Be sure that the model file includes proper paths to find its texture images before zipping things up. When importing dae or 3ds files that include referenced texture images, you must first create a folder that includes the texture images, then create a zipped archive that contains the model (at the root directory of the zip archive) and the folder of images. Since SketchUp for Web does not have unrestricted access to your computer’s file system, there are some special rules to follow when working with referenced texture files in 3D model import and export formats that support them, including dae, 3ds, wrl, fbx, xsi and obj.
