I am trying to create a collection for my models in EW. When I click on the Collections tab I get an option to Create Collection. If I click on that, I am taken to the page where you select a model or collection and not to the dialog box I would expect and as shown on this help page Creating and Sharing Collections | SketchUp Help.
Assuming there is a simple way to navigate to the right place, I guess I will be able to make a new collection. If I want to add items from those already uploaded, do I have to do it one by one or can you select a bunch and add them in one hit?
So, my questions are:
How to get to the create collection page/dialog box;
How to batch select for inclusion in a collection.
I can reproduce what you describe, so it is currently an issue in 3D Warehouse: User menu â My Collections shows an extra thumbnail with a red â+â among the existing collections, which should create a new collection but currently opens the model upload dialog (wrong URL?).
Instead, you can go to a model details page, click the red â+â and type a new collection name instead of choosing an existing one. For every subsequent model, you can then select the collection. There seems no batch mode (like My Models with checkboxes on each model thumbnail).
Oh, indeed this way also fails to create the collection and update the page!
The sidebar on the model details page shows an error in âRelated Collectionsâ.
Maybe a service is down?
It is an issue with pages from the previous and latest version of 3D Warehouse being served.
In the âold newâ 3D Warehouse, the red âUpload Modelâ button leads to a page with two tabs, âUpload Modelâ and âCreate Collectionâ. Here the collection is successfully created.
OK, weâve pushed a fix for this and one other bug. If you still canât create a collection, it may be cached, so try all the usual cache-clearing methods (2 of my 3 attempts worked, one was cached).
works here (The Motherland) after clearing cache in Chrome. @simoncbevans try deleting the Folder WebCache in /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2018
I certainly didnât do that! Here is what I have in that folder (quite a lot including sub-folders). Is it safe to get rid of all the contents of WebCache?
It will delete your login information as well, so you will have to re-log in! (3DWarehouse,Trimble,Extension Warehouse)
In situation like this (Like disabling all extensions at once) I will only rename the folder and start SketchUp. This will create the folder again, but then a ;freshâ one. You can always get back to the old folder by renaming the old and deleting the newly createdâŚ
PS ( this is me adding Your Model to My CollectionâŚ)
If I log in with another account, which is a featured catalog, I can manage my content far mor easily by downloading a .CSV, alter that and upload it again:
Your alternative looks interesting. Not sure I have quite followed it but I might try if I start to get a lot of models to manage. I am a little surprised there isnât an easier way built in, but there you go!
