You could also switch over to using SketchUp Free. You said using the Collada version didn't work.

Why? SketchUp has been able to import the. dae files included in the Collada zip file for years.

This has triggered me to move to finally move 100% over to Fusion360 after 12 years of solid sketchup use and word-spreading thru the industry.įorcing all users who use warehouse to use 2019 onwards.? F-U. I'm now converted to 360 after being locked out from using my own models from the warehouse. I don't want to spend $2000 every year for my machines to stay up to date with a program that is already lacking in so many ways. Seeya, won't miss you and the frustrating plug-ins needed (& often needed to be purchased) to make even the simplest curves, bulges, chamfers, 3D model checks and the need to upscale to 10x real size to create polygons before reducing back to 10% of the design. Its Terribly-terrible as soon as you try and make a semi-complex model from several parts to be prepped for 3D printing. Good luck finding a quick way to find and erase 100's if not 1000's of polygons, open ended lines, points and 'artifacts' that are caused when merging two items together for 3D printing. unless they are a VERY simple shape at a decent size scale.SketchUp 3D Warehouse is an open library of 3D models where SketchUp users can download or Upload 3D models. It shortens the 3D modeling time since designers can save time by downloading 3D models from the warehouse instead of having to take time to draw the 3D models from scratch. SketchUp is a 3D modeling CAD program for making architectural, civil, interior design, mechanical design, and landscape architecture drawings. , which is a California-based company that specializes in software, hardware, and services that touch on a range of industries including Building & Construction, Agriculture, Geospatial, and Transportation among others. However, users can save files in different formats by exporting files in. 3DS (which is compatible with 3ds Max), and. STL (which is compatible with SolidWorks).

STL file format, users make the 3D models to be 3D printable and thus the reason why SketchUp is very popular in the 3D printing industry.SketchUp Comes in Four Editions Which Include.Which SketchUp Editions Allow Accessing SketchUp 3D Warehouse?.
