I’m trying to import models from 3d warehouse in sketchup make 2017 but whenever I click on download nothing seems to be happening. What should I do?

Use your Internet browser, not the window inside SketchUp.

A collada file is a zip file that includes the .dae and a folder of materials. You have to extract the contents of the zip file. Then when you import the .dae file the importer will look for the folder to import the materials.
