I generally use Sketchup to create 2D Floor Plans - is there a (warehouse) plugin which would allow me to access components such as kitchen counters, fireplaces, sinks, etc.? This would be for 2D Floor Plans in ‘overview’ mode only - Sketchup’s Warehouse is basically 90% 3D models - thx!
Your forum profile implies you are using SketchUp in an internet browser. That would be SketchUp Go. There are no extensions for the web-based versions.
You can use the 3D Warehouse with that version, though, and get a variety of components that suit your needs.
Why do you use a 3D modeling application to do 2D drawing?
This comes to mind:
I’ve only used it 1x and a loooong time ago but for a massive 2d project that I would not want to do manually. It was helpful but I recall it hard to snap the doors at exactly the right locations at times. It was a one-off project as I never deal in only 2d projects. It was a decent plugin for that use case. I recally paying for it but again… Only used it once since I don’t do those kind of projects.
For full 3d plugins that also have 2d applications and output, I use Medeek for architecture and gkware cabmaker for kitchen/bath cabinets. Both are excellent but likely much more than you are looking for.

I don’t have an extension for that, but I have a 2D models library that I created myself and shared for free, you can download it here: Model - 2D Graphics - Checkout
Some of them are Dynamic Components, means you can scale without worry about changing profile and you can interact with them, too.

These are awesome - thx! How do I import them to Sketchup?
Thank you for your response. Cyentruk has an awesome 2D Models Library.
There are 2 ways:
- Use native component tray of SketchUp:
- (1) First, you will add the folder contains the library from your local drive.
- (2) Add the collection to favorites to save for later use.
- Then you can drag component from Component tray into your current model.
- Use an extension for managing SketchUp library, there are many extensions to do these. As you see in the images above, I have an extension to do that, its name “5D+ Library”.

Are you actually using a browser-based version of SketchUp as your profile shows? If so, the method shown by @Cyentruk will not work for you. You can put the components into a folder on your computer and then use the Import option from the menu, top left, to import them into your model.
