As soon as you click Download, SketchUp activates the Paint Bucket tool with the material loaded and ready to apply to the surface of your choice! Here’s a short video that shows the whole process in action: But downloading materials using SketchUp’s 3D Warehouse window is way cooler because you can import materials directly into your current project. If you’re using 3D Warehouse via your web browser, you can download the SKM file for a material and then add the file to your local SketchUp content folders. To access the materials browser, click the new Materials stat in the info panel. When viewing a model details page on 3D Warehouse, you can now browse the In Model Material library for that model and download only the material you want. Well, I’m glad to say those days are a big step closer to being over. But in most, if not all cases, you likely end up having to download more than what you really need, and then end up having to clean up afterward. As you search for materials like brick, tile, grass, etc., you find material samples as well as entire components with cool-looking materials. You’re looking for the perfect sofa or window, but also materials, because let’s face it: some things are still better represented in 2D. At the last minute, you’re scouring 3D Warehouse for components to spice things up. You’re sitting in the office, or studio, late one night (okay, every night), trying to get a presentation together. So, tell me if this has ever happened to you. Whew, that was the TL DR version? Keep reading for more details or head over to 3D Warehouse now to check out all the new stuff. Last but not least, we brought back contributors (finally!). You can also browse models that include the component you’ve landed on. Two new features have been added to the model details pages that allow you to browse and download In Model materials and components. If you’re already using a supported browser, you can refresh your screen and try again to sign in.” And of course, if you want to pull a model straight from the Warehouse into SU…you still have to be signed in, just as you do in a regular browser.TL DR: We recently launched a bunch of new features for 3D Warehouse.

However, I still cannot sign in - there is still the message “ Couldn’t sign you in This browser or app may not be secure. And it seems that everything loads properly. I launched SU2017 and sure enough, the Warehouse opened up when I clikked the 3DWH button in the toolbar. You may need to even sign out, then sign in with Chrome. SketchUp 20 are showing the 3D Warehouse window contents ok now.įor 2020 Design in particular, I found that I needed to go to in the Chrome browser to do the sign in step, then the window in 2020 Design worked ok. The issue that had been introduced by changes to comply with more recent versions of Chromium, has been fixed. Ran across the following in the thread Using 3D warehouse products in 20-20 design software.
