Lets face it, 99.9% of the content in 3D Warehouse is pure ■■■■ when you are looking for components to use in your own projects. A lot of models are great if you just want to look at them but many aren’t even that. Add 20 third party cars to your car park or 30 chairs to your office and even a top n…

Plus two shortcuts for copying the url. All these commands are totally redundant and in no way self explanatory.

Drag the url, just like you’d drag into SketchUp window. In your original post, you said “drag the download link directly into the SketchUp viewport”. Now instead of dragging into SketchUp, you drag into SketchUp’s 3D Warehouse search bar and hit enter.

I think Firefox can doe that too. Saves a few steps! However I’d prefer a direct download in SketchUp so I don’t litter my download folder.

I gotcha. Personally, I use my downloads folder as a junk drawer that I purge out every few months. If I download something I need to keep, I immediately move it to an organized folder. Otherwise, I just leave it in the downloads folder and it gets deleted during a purge.

I try to do exactly that but still end up with things in the download folder I don’t know if I want to keep. :expressionless:

True true. Rather than throwing out all things that don’t spark joy I recommend throwing everything that doesn’t have its defined place. I should try to live by that rule myself :stuck_out_tongue: .
