Hi all, With full acknowledgement that this is an incredibly broad question / topic that’s going to lead to a wide range of responses, we’re curious to hear from all of you about what, in your opinion, makes a great 3D Warehouse product model? I’ll give a bit more background. As you’ve probably n…

[image] tahota1: @ChristopherCronin 3D Warehouse models are often out-of-scale, poorly modeled by beginners, or have a enormous amount of necessary geometry. A lot of time is wasted finding quality models through 3D warehouse. Here’s another example from the 3DWH The product is a modest 30”…

Thanks @Geo . More good info. 3DWH needs to publish a set of standards so manufactures understand up front what to create. With standards in hand 3DWH can then encourage manufactures to review/revise their existing models… Fwiw, this where we’re headed.

And co planar cut loop components Get really confusing and tricky when users can’t stick components and cut openings Does my head in actually lol

I suggest that that models have more than one version of complexity, So on an elevation or plan drawing it is in portion to the general scale.

[image] pcmoor: I suggest that models have more than one version of complexity I agree and it appears the SketchUp Folks are moving in that direction. Here’s a recent announcement: Introducing 3D Warehouse Detailed Collections — SketchUpdate … the official SketchUp blog

I came to this forum because I cannot upload my model. In looking for answers, and then looking for the right place to post my issue, I ran across this thread. I’m now wondering should I continue trying to solve my problem. I’ve never uploaded anything to the 3DWH before (though I’ve gotten plent…

So why can’t you upload? Some of us worked on the old warehouse at Google, but Google sold SketchUp and the 3dwarehouse to Trimble. Same idea, and we’ve added a few things including: more people working on it the ability to create printable STL exports using Materialise the ability to feature ca…

I do not want to pull this thread off-topic, but since you asked about my upload issue, and asked about* other questions*, I will reply – “So why can’t you upload?” -Barry I don’t know why, that’s why I came to this forum - to find out why. I’ve not found an answer yet. I was going to create a…
