The nice thing about using the Components panel for searching is that you’re only shown models that are going to work ok in the version you are using.

I tried this model as a test:Īnd can find it using the Components panel, and insert it into a SketchUp 2016 document. Searches in the Components panel continue to work well. You still usually have Collada or KMZ as options, and those would work fine in SketchUp 8. You’re on Mac, so you don’t have that problem.Īnother thing, which isn’t a change, is that for all newer models the warehouse only offers the last three versions of SketchUp as a download format. That is, the site code is using HTML features that won’t work in IE. If you want to stick with your current version of SketchUp you can still access 3D Warehouse using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge.One recent change in the 3D Warehouse is that for Windows users of 2016 and earlier, the integrated Internet Explorer isn’t supported anymore. If you use SketchUp for commercial purposes you need SketchUp Pro. SketchUp 2017 and later use an embedded Chromium browser that is fully compatible with 3D Warehouse.įor non-commercial use you can use SketchUp Free online or download SketchUp Make from this 118 page. The built-in dialog uses an embedded version of Internet Explorer even when you have Chrome, Firefox or Edge installed on the same computer. You will no longer be able to access all features of 3D Warehouse using the web dialog in SketchUp 2016 and earlier.

While we do our best to maintain backward-compatibility, many new web technologies simply can’t run in older internet browsers.

Later this year 3D Warehouse will no longer be compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you’re using SketchUp 2016 or earlier on Microsoft Windows, this message is for you.
