General Live Component Discussion

Question: Do LC’s no longer work in SketchUp 2020? I had played with them a bit before 2021 was released and was able to download the configured objects and place them into my 2020 files. Now even if I open the warehouse from inside 2020 with 2021 closed and configure there, the resulting download file is for 2021 and cannot be opened by 2020. I can find no way to get an LC into 2020 right now.

The change to 2021 format was unintentional. We’ll be reverting it back to 2020 soon.

My understanding was that downloaded Live Components would be in v2020 format for the near term. Eventually, they will fall under our “current minus two” policy where we support the latest version and two versions back.

Fixed V2020 file format issue when downloading from 3DW

Hi Everyone Just a quick update - Yesterday we fixed the file format issue where file format for Live Components downloaded from 3DW changed to be v2021 format. Downloaded files are now in 2020 format so both 2020 and 2021 users can consume them. Bryce
