which version of sketchup can download 3d model Which version of sketchup can download 3d model. November 17, 2016 ; 8 months ago ( 2016-11-17 ) [2] SketchUp , formerly Google Sketchup , is a 3D modeling computer program for a wide range of drawing applications such as architectural, interior design, landscape architecture, civil and mechanical engineering, film and video game design. It is available as a freeware version, SketchUp Make , and a paid version with additional functionality, SketchUp Pro . SketchUp is owned by Trimble Inc., [1] [4] a mapping, surveying and navigation equipment company. [5] There is an online library of free model assemblies (e.g. windows, doors, automobiles), 3D Warehouse, to which users may contribute models. The program includes drawing layout functionality, allows surface rendering in variable "styles", supports third-party "plug-in" programs hosted on a site called Extension Warehouse to provide other capabilities (e.g. near photo-realistic rendering) and enables placement of its models within Google Earth. [6] Contents. History. @Last Software. SketchUp was developed by startup company @Last Software of Boulder, Colorado, co-founded in 1999 by Brad Schell and Joe Esch. [7] [8] SketchUp debuted in August 2000 as a general-purpose 3D content creation tool and was envisioned as a software program "that would allow design professionals to draw the way they want by emulating the feel and freedom of working with pen and paper in a simple and elegant interface, that would be fun to use and easy to learn and that would be used by designers to play with their designs in a way that is not possible with traditional design software. It also has user friendly buttons to make it easier to use." [3] The program won a Community Choice Award at its first tradeshow in 2000. [9] Google. Google acquired @Last Software on March 14, 2006 for an undisclosed sum, [10] attracted by @Last Software's work developing a plugin for Google Earth. On January 9, 2007, Google announced Google SketchUp 6, a free downloadable version of SketchUp, without some functionality of SketchUp Pro, but including integrated tools for uploading content to Google Earth and to the Google 3D Warehouse. A toolbox enables a viewer to "walk around" and see things from different viewpoints and supports labels for models, a look-around tool and an "any polygon" shape tool. Google SketchUp Pro 6 introduced a beta version of Google SketchUp LayOut. LayOut includes 2D vector tools and page layout tools allowing presentations to be produced without the need for a separate presentation program. [11] On November 17, 2008, SketchUp 7 was released, with changes intended to make it easier to use, integration of SketchUp's Component Browser with Google 3D Warehouse, LayOut 2 and dynamic components that respond to scaling. Windows 2000 was no longer supported. [3] On September 1, 2010, SketchUp 8 was released, with model geolocation with Google Maps and Building Maker integration. Mac OS X Tiger was no longer supported. [3] Neither the free version nor the professional version was available in a native format for Linux, or Mac OS earlier than 10.5. SketchUp version 8 use under Wine has been rated "Gold". [12] Geolocation information is always stored in the KMZ file. [13] The building designs themselves are saved in SKP. Trimble. Trimble Navigation (now Trimble Inc.) acquired SketchUp from Google on June 1, 2012 for an undisclosed sum. [14] In 2013 SketchUp 2013 was released. A new site was provided, Extension Warehouse, hosting plugins and extensions for Sketchup. [15] 3D Warehouse. 3D Warehouse is an open library in which SketchUp users may upload and download 3D models to share. The models can be downloaded right into the program without anything having to be saved onto your computers storage. File sizes of the models can be up to 50 MB. Anyone can make, modify and re-upload content to and from the 3D warehouse free of charge. [16] All the models in 3D Warehouse are free, so anyone can download files for use in SketchUp or even other software such as AutoCAD, Revit and ArchiCAD - all of which have apps allowing the retrieval of models from 3D Warehouse. Since 2014 Trimble has launched a new version of 3D Warehouse where companies may have an official page with their own 3D catalog of products. Trimble is currently investing in creating 3D developer partners in order to have more professionally modeled products available in 3D Warehouse. According to the Trimble, 3D Warehouse is the most popular 3D content site on the web. SketchUp designers may visit 3D Warehouse to discover new products or for inspiration when designing their own. Patents. SketchUp holds U.S. Patent 6,628,279 , granted in September 2003, on its "Push/Pull" technology. Editions. SketchUp comes in two editions; both are proprietary software. Sketchup Make (formerly SketchUp for Home and Personal Use), introduced in May 2013, is a free-of-charge version for home, personal and educational use. [17] It begins with a 30-day trial of SketchUp Pro. After that time, users can agree to the Terms of Service and continue to use SketchUp Make for free. SketchUp Pro includes the functionality of SketchUp Make plus importers and exporters to common 2D and 3D formats, access to LayOut (2D documentation software) and Style Builder (create custom edge styles for SketchUp models). [18] SketchUp Pro 2016 has native integration with Trimble Connect, treat 3D Warehouse models as references, a totally rebuilt Generate Report and now LayOut offers web-friendly reference objects as well as a new LayOut API. [19] SketchUp Pro licensing is cross-platform and works on both Windows and Mac machines. Software extensions. SketchUp 4 and later support software extensions written in the Ruby programming language, which add specialized functionality. Many such extensions are available to others on the Trimble Extension Warehouse. [20] SketchUp has a Ruby console, an environment which allows experimentation with Ruby. [21] Model viewers. SketchUp Mobile Viewer. SketchUp Mobile Viewer is an app released by Trimble. [22] It is available on iOS and Android. Cubits. Cubits for iPad and iOS is a 3D interactive model viewer/renderer. [23] It can view .kmz files from SketchUp either as attachments through e-mail or via Dropbox. IrisVR Prospect. IrisVR Prospect software allows users to view SketchUp files in virtual reality with the use of head mounted displays such as the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift. [24] Kubity. Kubity is an online rendering platform for desktop web browsers and mobile devices (iOS and Android). SketchUp File Support in 3D Warehouse. In an effort to keep the 3D Warehouse running smoothly we’re taking the time to clean up some functionality and improve performance. This has already begun with our recent change in supported browsers as we no longer support Internet Explorer 8 (MSIE 8) on the 3D Warehouse. Beyond the change in browser support we aim to keep our original goal of supporting the current version of SketchUp along with 2 previous. In fact, we’re actually going to be a bit more generous than “2 previous versions” with regards to what we offer on the 3D Warehouse and are providing support for up to 3 previous versions. Our goal, at the end of the day, is for the 3D Warehouse to be efficient and simple to use for everyone with the greatest compatibility possible. To that end, we’re no longer going to support the older file formats from SketchUp 8 and SketchUp 2013. What will this affect? If you’re using SketchUp 8 or SketchUp 2013 you’ll no longer be able to download models from the 3D Warehouse from within the product. If you’re trying to download a model from the 3D Warehouse using a browser, the only options available will be for SketchUp 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. What will not be affected? Nothing will be changing for anyone using SketchUp 2014 or newer. All content on the 3D Warehouse is automatically made available for the current version, if you have files which were created using SketchUp 8 or SketchUp 2013 they’ll remain on the 3D Warehouse and in the most current version with no additional steps needed. If SketchUp version 8 is so near and dear to your heart that you can’t bear the thought of leaving it, we understand. But if you’re up for it, perhaps now would be a great time to upgrade to the latest and greatest version. We’ve made tons of improvements over the years and we think you’ll love the newest version of SketchUp even more! For folks who still use SketchUp 8, who frequent 3D Warehouse to download models for their projects and who’re unable to upgrade to a supported version. We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause. SKETCHUP 3D WAREHOUSE PURGE!! Well guess what, those turkeys at Trimble sent out a notice that all Models that were not made in Sketchup 2017 or later will no longer be available to download for version 2017 after TOMORROW!! Since 2017 is the last FREE version of MAKE. they are screwing us all because just about every "classic" 3d model of arcade cabs from Gozen available on the 3dwarehouse were created PRIOR to the 2017 version which means THEY ALL will no longer be available to download for 2017 after tomorrow! I. for one. will be going in and downloading them all. you might want to as well. To make matters worse. there is a 100 model download limit. and Gozer has 606 models!! I've downloaded models 1-100 (every one. all types of arcades/pins/cranes, etc). If we all work together we can get all 606 models downloaded and we can stick them somewhere for us all to have access to (with Gozers permission of course). Who is taking 101-200? Or does anyone have a subscription that can download all 606 (plus any other arcade models from others)? This is going to invoke a world of hurt on people who still use the Free MAKE 2017 version.

I noticed as I was downloading that brother Gozer has been making models lately. there are new ones (not sure when he started back up). Again. I got 1-100. If someone gets 101-200 please post here. then someone can get 201-300, etc. It looks like the first 100 models only took up about 330MB. hisnice. Well-known member. Jul 26, 2021 #4. Scott C. Well-known member. Jul 26, 2021 #5. Ugh. I'm away from my computer, so I cannot help. FrizzleFried. Well-known member. Jul 26, 2021 Thread Starter #6. Search for "Gozer". click collections. click the one with 606 in it. Worry not. I've actually managed to acquire 586 of the 606. No. I don't know which ones I am missing. Scott C. Well-known member. Jul 26, 2021 #7. Download all again and compare. Brentradio. Well-known member. Jul 27, 2021 #8. Thank you for doing this! Please post links when/if you upload them. FrizzleFried. Well-known member. Jul 27, 2021 Thread Starter #9. FrizzleFried. Well-known member. Jul 27, 2021 Thread Starter #10. Hell. maybe @mclemore would like to step up and offer storage space for them? (again, with Gozers permission). I know he links to them on the 3dwarehouse site . and those links will still be good, but only for 2018 edition + . which means we desktop free users (Make 2017 and before) will be screwed it seems. I'm guessing we 2017 users are going to lose a TON of content starting tomorrow. as only content that was created with 2017 will be popping up as everything else will have moved on to 2018+ mclemore.

Jul 27, 2021 #14. gozer5454. Volunteer: Google SketchUp Guru. Jul 27, 2021 #15. Thanks for the email, Greaseball! Thanks Frizz for catching that major update with sketchup. I noticed many of my early models made before 2016 were getting corrupted after 2020. I figured some things were changing hands between larger companies and data was being lost. I have access to all the files made after 2018, but I no longer have any of the first 500 model files. All those files were made on computers that I lost in 2013. If there is the ability to host a site that keeps all these downloaded files that Frizzy grabbed, then please do so. The original reason that I chose Sketchup to make models in was because I believed in the idea that anyone could download them for free. I never wanted to make money off my time and effort, I just wanted the world to get free access to those accurate models if they needed to plan or view in 3d. I can also add my newer post-2018 models like Walking Dead, Pong, Mazer Blazer, etc to this website as well to continue to offer free access to people to grab these files. I would also love it, if I could be sent those original files as well, so that I could reupload them as 2020 sketchup files so that my database there can still be stocked for users.
